Violations  of  the  U.S.  Constitution

---

One of the Supreme Court's favorite dodges these days is "no standing" (as in the recent ACLU/NSA case and the FISA BILL on wire-tapping without a warrant, and Walker v. Members of Congress).

The Supreme Court should be renamed to the "Supreme Catch-22 Court".

For example, consider the following constitutional violations (just to name a few; this is most likely not a complete list; please add violations and examples to the list if you know of other violations):

1. the flagrant violation of Article 1:  
   • Article 1, Section 8:  perversion of the monetary system; . . . To coin money, [responsibly?] regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures; the federal Congress has unconstitutionally turned over the coining of Money, the regulation of the value thereof, and of foreign coin to the Treasury, in contradiction to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5 and Article 1, Section 10, Clause 1; 
   • the federal Congress has failed to provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current coin of the United States in contradiction to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 6, by implementing the Federal Resreve Bank in 1913; HJR 192 - Federal Reserve Notes are NOT lawful money - "payment is declared to be against public policy" (Act of 28 October 1977, Pub. L. 95-147, § 4(c), 91 Stat. 1227, 1229, now codified in 31 U.S.C. § 5118(d)(2)).
        
2. the violation of Article 1, Section 9: 
   • . . . The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it. ; . . .
   • the Department Of Justice, in contradiction to Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3, has allowed ex post facto laws to be passed (i.e. retroactive taxation), and, in contradiction to Posse Commitatus, has allowed the military to be used against citizens in the united States of America, resulting in the deaths of minor children and adults;
         
3. the flagrant violation of Article 3, Section 1: 
   • The federal Judiciary, in contradiction to Article 3, Section 1, has held Office during bad behaviour by not complying with the following: The supreme Court has the power of "judicial review", i.e. the power to declare laws passed by the U.S. Congress to be null and void if such a law or laws was/is in violation of the Constitution for the united States of America. They have failed by omission to declare as un-Constitutional both the public and secret edicts of President(s).
   • anyone know what's up with Rep. William Jefferson's (D-LA-2nd District) FBI case?  He's still in office.   How many years (or decades) does it take to prosecute these cases, when the suspects are caught red-handed receiving bribe money ($100K, and $90K of it was later found wrapped in aluminum foil and separate containers in $10K bundles)?  What's up with that?
       
4. the violation of Article 4, Section 4 (protect states against invasion); borders are wide open;
   • the federal President has become a "domestic enemy" by implementing  Bankruptcy (1930-32) and "War and Emergency Powers" (March 9, 1933 and  subsequently) and "International Emergency and War Powers" (1977) in contradiction to Article 4, Section 4; "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion (from all enemies foreign and domestic); and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."
   • Also, under Title 8, Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who:
       
     • Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or
     • Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or
     • Attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact;

     . . . has committed a federal crime. Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison. Additional civil fines may be imposed at the discretion of immigration judges, but civil fines do not negate the criminal sanctions or nature of the offense.
       

5. the flagrant violation of Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution by all 535 members of Congress (see FOAVC.ORG and Walker vs. Members of Congress);
     
6. the many flagrant violations of oath of office per Article 6;
   • the federal President has failed to live up to his oath of office in contradiction to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 8, to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution for the united States of America (original intent); NOT: "of the United States" - limited jurisdiction (legal entity).
   • the Congress has flagrantly violated their oath of office to uphold the U.S. Constitution (e.g. Article 5 is one obvious example);
       
7. the violation of the 1st Amendment:  passage of laws providing federal tax revenues to be provided to faith based organizations;
   • Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances;
   • also, by violating Article 5, the Congress has violated the 1st Amendment (and vice-versa) clause:  "and to petition the government for a redress of grievances"';
       
8. the violation of the 2nd Amendment:  the right to bear arms; only recently did the Supreme Court finally uphold the 2nd Amendment by rejecting Washington D.C.'s ban on hand gun ownership for the past 32 years.
     
9. the flagrant violation of the 4th Amendment (search and seizure without a warrant);
    
10. 5th Amendment: flagrant legal plunder via eminent domain abuses (Supreme Court upholds abuse of eminent domain abuse); 6.8 new cases per day;
      
11. and substantial arguments could also be made for the violation of the following:
    • the 5th Amendment: right not to be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury (Statutory Jurisdiction notwithstanding
    • the 6th Amendment: right in all criminal prosecutions to enjoy a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of Counsel for his defense
    • the 7th Amendment: right to trial by jury; as opposed to trial WITH jury;
    • the 9th Amendment:  the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;
    • the 10th 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;
        
12. 16th Amendment:  Also, many people are claiming that the 16th Amendment was never ratified by three-fourths of the states? I'm not sure whether this is true (or not).  At any rate, we need taxation that is fair and non-regressive.  The current tax system is unfair and regressive .
     
13. 17th Amendment:   Was the 17th Amendment really ratified by three-fourths of the states ?  
         
14. the violation of U.S. law and international treaty (Geneva Convention):  torture
    • just ask Spc. Sean Baker (he was beaten and brain damaged at Guantanamo Bay and no one has ever been held accountable);
    • water-boarding (which is states in clear legal language that it is illegal in the Army Field Manual);
        
15. False statements and/or incompetence (e.g. transcript and video) ?
    Especially when considering the massive loss of life and limbs for a war based on non-existent WMD ?
    Then followed by a multitude of blunders?
    Isn't it somewhat hypocritical to trump-up the threat of Iraq to the U.S. when our borders are wide-open and more, and more Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens in the U.S. in the last 3 years, than all U.S. troops killed in Iraq in 5 years since the invasion of Iraq in March, 2003 ?   Thousands of Americans are being murdered every year by illegal aliens, whose anonymity encourages and breeds more crime (illegal aliens being repeatedly arrested, released, and deported).  29% of all people incarcerated in U.S. federal prisons are illegal aliens!   32% of all illegal aliens receive welfare.  50% of illegal aliens pay no income taxes.  Not counting the untold cost of crime, disease, and millions of displaced jobs, illegal aliens are costing middle-class Americans an estimated $70 Billion to $338 Billion in net losses (per year).
