@JohnBoehner Doesn’t Get It!

In a speech late Tuesday night, Minority Leader and probable future Speaker John Boehner announced, “The people’s priorities will be our priorities, and the people’s agenda will be our agenda” (“Boehner: Election a ‘repudiation of Washington’“).  Based on this statement, I have to question Boehner’s commitment to the Constitution and conservative principles.  Just because the people have a certain priority or agenda doesn’t mean that Congress has the authority under the Constitution to pursue that priority or agenda.  I want the Constitution to be the House Republicans’ priority and agenda.

The Blueprint by Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski

In The Blueprint (Guilford, CT: Lyons Press, 2010), Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski outline “Obama’s Plan to Subvert the Consittuion and Build an Imperial Presidency” by

• appointing czars
• packing the courts
• making administrative rules and issuing executive orders
• adopting foreign and international laws
• building a domestic army
• taking over our health-care system
• taking control of large companies
• pushing through cap and tax
• passing stimulus bills to spend money on the liberals’ wish list
• shifting the tax burden a minority of citizens
• granting amnesty to illegal aliens
• passing card check
• politicizing the census
• giving Washington, DC, a voting representative and two senators
• allowing same-day voter registration and “universal” registration of people on government welfare rolls
• restricting gun ownership
• co-opting the media
• reinstating the “Fairness Doctrine”
• silencing his opposition
• creating a secular society with government controlling what children are taught (256-63)

Blackwell and Klukowski explain how Obama and his cronies are putting this plan into action, whether his actions are constitional or not, and how conservatives should respond.  Their proposed responses are essentially limited to lawsuits and election results.

I don’t know that Obama is as much a planner as he is an opportunist taking advantage of the situation he found himself in.  Perhaps George Soros is behind him pulling the strings.

I believe that as lawyers Blackwell and Klukowski are putting too much faith in the court system, particularly the Supreme Court.  As they explain, the Supreme Court arrogated the “power of judicial review” (i.e., the ability to determine if a law was constitutional or not) in Marbury v. Madison (59-60).  The Founders did not give the Supreme Court that power in the Constitution.  (See Article 3.)

As stated in the Tenth Amendment, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”  Since the power to determine the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress or orders issued by the president is not delegated to one of the three branches of the federal government “by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States,” that power must belong to the states or to the people.

The states have the power to withdraw from the union or to use nullification, which is the process of a “a state government using the tenth amendment to reject federal laws within their state” (“Is Nullification American?“).  If it becomes necessary to use secession or nullification to defeat the socialists’ plan to our country into the United Socialist States of America, then that is what we must do.
