"We the People..."

The Preamble and the US Constitution

Supreme Courts abdication of the Constitution

In light of the recent historic ruling of the Supreme Court for upholding The Affordable Care Act aka  "Obamacare", calls to mind the Preamble of the US Constitution signed and approved this July 4th day 236 years ago:

"We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Prosperity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

The words "We the People" should reasonate with all Americans as we fully grasp the recent ruling from the Supreme Court. The Preamble doesn't start with "We the Supreme Court" or "We the Congress"  or "We the President", it begins with "We the People."  As it should be.

The outrage of the ruling was expected from whichever side lost.  Nine Supreme Court justices all with not so furtive agendas and biases, regardless of their feigned allegiance to the Constitution, empowered to make and uphold laws for 300 million Americans seems tyrannical to me.   Begs the questions: who do these folks think they are? How did they get to be so powerful? And, how can "We the People" change that?

Well Americans, this is our country, not theirs.  It's not the Congress's either, and surely, it's not the present occupier in the White House. As Thomas Paine, one of Founders, wrote in Common Sense in 1776, "Government is a necessary evil, let us have as little of it as possible." This is our country and it is time to take it back from these governmental hogs at the trough. And that time is coming.  November is our time to be in charge.

"We the People" will decide as it should be.

126 days and counting...and may God help us all with that critical outcome!

Happy Fourth to "We the People" and in deepest thanksgiving for our brave and brilliant Founding Fathers in creating the United States of America.
