Limited #CongressionalPowers

Unfortunately, far too many #Legislators #LawEnforcement and #Judges take the phrase from The Constitution for the United States of America, Article 1, Section 8, Last Clause, as the power to legislate in all areas whatsoever.

This simply is not true.

We know this, only when we take our Government's two documents together:

• ​The unanimous Declaration of the united States of America  
  • The grievance against Tyranny and Despotism is "for declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever."
• and The Constitution for the United States of America, Article 1, Section 8, 
  
  • ​"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof"
    
    • ​That NECESSARY AND PROPER clause applies only to carrying out the powers specifically identified within the Constitution for our nation's government; which also include the Departments and Officers of those Departments.
      
    • It does not authorize Congress to CREATE Departments, Offices, Agencies, etc... that the Constitution DOES NOT authorize; and then to grant extra-UNconstitutional powers to those unconstitutional entities. We know this because of this phrase from The unanimous Declaration:
      • ​"erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance."
        

Let's look at how many time the "Severability" clause appears in The United States Code:

• In law, severability (sometimes known as salvatorius, from Latin) refers to a provision in a contract or piece of legislation which states that if some of the terms are held to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder should still apply.
• Quick search has the severability clause appearing over 170 time in the US Code.
  

The Constitution for the United States of America, Article 6 has an interesting severability clause concerning State Constitution, and all Laws (federal, state, etc)

• "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any state to the Contrary notwithstanding."
  • ​When Congress passes a law that is not made in Pursuance to the US Constitution... it is NOT ENFORCEABLE
    
  • When the laws of any state (city, county, state) laws violate The Supreme Law of the Land --- those laws are not enforceable either.
    

When Law-Makers, Law-Enforcers, and Law-Triers swear Oath to the US Constitution, as they all do (city, county, state, national) they claim that they know enough to be able to determine whether or not some law or part thereof -- violates-- the Supreme Law of the Land. After all..Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse for violating that SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND -- now is it?

What is the first thing a cop or judge tells you for not knowing the millions of laws (city, county, state, nation) when they ticket or arrest your for violating them? Ignorance of the Law is not Excuse!

What is the first EXCUSE those cops and judges rely upon when it comes. IGNORANCE! They claim that they are not supposed to judge whether or not a law violates the US Constitution --The Supreme Law of the Land or not. That, after all, is left between you and the US Supreme Court, if you have enough money, time, and other resources to even get it that far, let alone to even be heard.

Those same cops and judges benefit financially from their GROSS IGNORANCE of the Law they swore oath to.  Their Excuses?

• "I have bills to pay"
• "I have a family to feed"
• "I'm simply following orders"
• "I'm only enforcing the 'law' "
• "That's for the courts to decide"
• I don't give a damn about your rights, you can spend the rest of your life and money trying to clear your name from my injustices, so long as I keep my job.

We allowed our governments to return us to pre-1776 political corruption --- AND WE DID NOTHING to stop it!!!
