When Experts Are Idiots & Authorities Are Fools

 

none dare call it constitutional treason

The Supreme Court ruling against the illegal migrant law of Arizona was misguided at best and a constitutional travesty at worst. The court had no basis to rule as it did against the State of Arizona. Says who?

Says the United States Constitution. And what makes yours-truly an expert on the Constitution? Simple, the ability to read. Anyone who can read can be quite expert on the Constitution because it is perfectly understandable in almost all regards.

If my audacious self-appointed expertness is true, and the Justices of the Supreme Court were wrong, then why were they wrong?

They were wrong because they violated their oath to follow the Constitution and instead followed an accepted conventional "common knowledge" attitudinal position. The conventional consensus attitude which they relied on is the same as that employed by respectable legal experts and former judges ("senior legal analyst") who have shockingly declared in a most emphatic manner in their TV legal pundit role, that the right to control immigration is not given to the states but to the federal government by the Constitution!

Hearing that statement coming out of the mouth of a respected authority was like hearing that the Earth indeed, as every one can see, is in fact actually perfectly flat. I wondered in amazement, "if the 'experts' get something so simple flat-out wrong, what hope is there for our future?"

I have to assume that there is very little, -if something as simple as the enumerated powers delegated to Congress can be completely misconstrued in an imaginary manner by experts who are great defenders of the Constitution. That would mean that we're in big trouble.

What did they all get wrong? Simple, they didn't get anything "wrong", -it's worse than that. Instead they simply invented something that doesn't even exist!

Congress, in Article 1, Sections 8, 9 & 10 is given no authority over immigration! It's impossible to misconstrue what the Constitution says about foreign immigration because the Constitution says absolutely nothing about it.

It does mention the slave trade though, -that it can't be forbidden by Congress before 1808, but it can be taxed. It states in the Section 9:

"The migration or importation of such persons as any of the states shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress..."

So that leaves only the one single statement related to immigration, and yet even it isn't. It's the statement; "Congress shall have power...to establish a uniform rule of naturalization."

So that's it. There's nothing more. Congress was only given the authority to write a naturalization rule that would make the rules of the states uniform. So Congress could decide the over-all nationwide policy for naturalization, period. But what you may have failed to grasp in that sentence, thanks to conventional thinking, is the part that reads, "the rules of the states."

What that means is that the states were sovereign over immigration and naturalization, just Read More http://patriotpost.us/commentary/13955
