The Constitution

"'The Constitution has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to stop it. Either way it is not fit to exist.' -Lysander Spooner"The Constitution is a magical piece of paper that will somehow stop the government from expanding. It has by all objective standards failed at this. The conservatives fail to understand this basic thing and still worship it more than God. The sorry-ass excuse of "the people failed the constitution" only seems to reinforce this claim. This article will outline why the Constitution is a failure.

Seperation of Powers
The Constitution was created with three seperate branches of governmentm: Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. These three branches, as your government appointed mouthpieces have informed you, have to comepte amongst themselves for power and constantly work to make sure the other branches do not become too powerful. This theory is even supported by those who would argue that when a industry has few producuers they will colude at the loss of the consumer, yet we're asked to believe in the market of power the agents will not do so. The problem is that this fails on many levels.

Judicial
"“John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it.” -Andrew Jackson"The Supreme Court has granted it self the power of interpreting laws for constitutionality. This power is not legitimate. Article III of the Constitution gives the court no such authority. This power was usurped by the Court using the precedent in Marbury vs. Madison. The issue of-course is that, precedent is not a listed power in the constitution. The court has granted itself power and nobody in 200 or so years has sought to revert this.

The President appoints the Supreme Court justices and gets it approved by congress. What is to stop them from putting someone on the bench, for a lifetime, who always agrees with unconstitutional laws.

Their word also becomes totally fucking useless if you ignore them. Andrew Jackson famously did this and removed the Cherokee from Georgia.

Legislature
Laws in the US are constantly made in violation of the constitution by this gang of bandits. Expanding controll with laws such as gun control and, the Patriot Act, the legislature keeps getting bigger and no one seems to stop it.

Different Branches, Same Organization
Despite there being three "independant" branches of government, they're all still part of the same organization. All three branches want to expand their power and impose greater tyranny. The seperation of powers is like families in the mafia. There may be rivalries, but at the end of the day they're still the fucking mafia.

States Rights and Supremacy Clause
"'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.' -10th Amendment" The Supremacy Clause is the idea that the federal government suprecedes the states. Some examples of this are the following:


 * The US as a whole goes to war if Hawaii is invaded
 * If the Federal government takes on debt then all of the states are obligated
 * If the Federal government makes a law which takes away states rights the state must respect it
 * Secession is not allowed desipte it being implied

Nullification and Secession
This idea was first created by John C Calhoun in the early 1800s. Nullification is a process that goes like this:


 * 1) The Federal Government passes a law
 * 2) The states decide if they want to enforce it or not
 * 3) If the state does not enforce it then the federal government determines if putting pressure is worth it
 * 4) If the federal government puts pressure the state decides if they should secede or not

The most notable proponent of this approach is Tom Woods. For a better explanation read his book
