The level of Constitutional illiteracy amongst the political class is rampant and shameful. I mean no wonder our liberties are slipping away and under attack. You have the choice to know more than your politicians and I’m here to help you understand exactly what these are. Because if you don’t know what your rights are you don’t know when you’ve lost them!
Sometimes it’s good therapy to have a good laugh, or two. The fight for liberty is not an easy fight and it’s a fight that won’t be won overnight. There will be stress and physical as well as mental exhaustion in the process and in order for all liberty lovers to be in for the long term, it’s important to replenish with humor and laughter. So there is a bit of initial humor and occasional giddiness in the beginning of this podcast, but then you’ll hear me take on (as I like to do) the Republican establishment for doing (or not doing) the things that are necessary to move the cause of liberty forward.
Angela Core, the prosecuting attorney in the George Zimmerman trial and her behavior has disgraced the entire legal system as well as the jurors. What she obviously fails to understand is that making the kind of post-trial comments she did, only illustrates her incompetence. She needs to be held accountable for her actions and I’m going to tell you exactly why.
The political class seems to want to use the Trayvon Martin case to make points with the public by stressing the race card but it is not about race. We must understand that there are serious issues with this case. None of which that have to do with George Zimmerman and there are serious questions that need to be asked from the federal, state and local level. The question however is how does this all serve the pursuit of justice and having a properly functioning judicial system.
Aren’t you tired of the same old recycled candidates! I read or heard how the GOP is thinking of promoting Jeb Bush for President in 2016. I mean are you kidding me? If the Republicans give us another Bush I guarantee that the GOP will find themselves locked out of the White House for a generation. They certainly can’t be that stupid. At one time the Republicans stood for liberty. Where did they go wrong! The Republicans are so out of whack that in Nevada the GOP is suing because “None of the Above” is going to be an option on the ballot. They are so afraid of change and their feet are so stuck in the establishment tyranny mud that they’re afraid of people expressing their displeasure by voting for “None of the Above. ” Good grief!
JC sits in for KrisAnne for the 3rd and last day. One of the basic premises of our judicial system is that all defendants are innocent until proven guilty. Defendants in a court of law don’t have to prove anything. The burden of proof totally relies on the shoulders of the prosecution, yet it would seem that many people have forgotten this basic concept and high profile trials such as the George Zimmerman trial make it painfully clear how widely ignorant many people are about this.
JC stands in for KrisAnne today and begins the day talking about Obama Care and how it had been announced today that certain aspects of the law were not going to be implemented. However, the Congress is not pleased but what’s funny is how house member Phil Roe from Tn. (a republican by the way) complained about how the Obama administration shouldn’t be allowed to bypass the law on a whim! Presidents don’t have the authority to pick and choose what laws they choose to follow and no has called for the Congressional research service to conduct an investigation. Should we hold our breath? Not advisable. Maybe we should just send him a pocket version of the Constitution.
KrisAnnes husband JC sits in for KrisAnne in todays show and covers the news which includes a story from Henderson, NV about how the police forcefully setup surveillance in someones home so that they could conduct an investigation on someone else! Incredible! The homeowner refused but was forced to comply and then when he attempted to leave was arrested and put in jail. What’s next? Makes you wonder doesn’t it?
Several members of the House of Representatives are moving forward with efforts to impeach Attorney General Eric Holder. We MUST help them in this effort.
As Reported by the Huffington Post, Congressman Ted Yoho met with his constituents in Florida:
“It’s to get him out of office — impeachment,” said Yoho, who was a large-animal veterinarian before winning election last year. “It will probably be when we get back in [Washington]. It will be before the end of the year. This will go to the speaker and the speaker will decide if it comes up or not.”
Yoho’s chief of staff, Cat Cammack, said the congressman wants Holder fired for issues that include the Fast and Furious sting operation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that left federal agents’ weapons in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. One of the guns was found at the 2010 scene of a Border Patrol agent’s killing.

If we want the Constitution to be defended, if we want justice to be served, we MUST help these Representatives through grass roots pressure.
In an effort to help us help Mr. Yoho and those standing with him, I have crafted this Open Letter. We can only do this if EVERYONE will pitch in. We MUST make this happen. If we do not there will be consequences.
These consequences are outline in the letter. Please read the letter and then share it many times over with your representative and others in the House. We CAN do this. We CAN enforce the Constitution. But we MUST take action. We CANNOT sit idly by.
Congressman,
Article 1, section 2, clause 5 makes it clear that impeachment rests in the House of Representatives. It is a clear obligation placed upon the house to maintain not only the integrity of the government, the separation of powers, but also the confidence of the people in their government.
George Mason remarked: “No point is of more importance than that the right of impeachment should be continued. Shall any man be above Justice?”
Your responsibility to the people of this country is great. That is why we are asking you to support your fellow Representatives in their efforts to impeach Attorney General Eric Holder for his conduct in Operation Fast & Furious, along with any other activity that support such efforts.
Article 2, section 4 of the Constitution leaves no choice for the House in this matter. This clause makes it clear that AG Eric Holder must be impeached.
The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
As you know, as a result of the Fast & Furious hearings, AG Eric Holder was found in contempt by this body. Pursuant to Article 2 section 4, that finding requires the House to impeach Eric Holder, e.g. Eric Holder is a civil officer, contempt is a misdemeanor, and this clause requires impeachment, (“shall be impeached).
We are not concerned at this moment whether the Senate will convict Eric Holder. We do not ask you to speculate on the actions of the Senate, we only ask you to do the job we hired you to do; follow the Constitution.
There will be consequences for your failure to do so. James Iredell identified those consequences during the North Carolina Ratifying Convention:
“A man in public office who knows that there is no tribunal to punish him, may be ready to deviate from his duty; but if he knows there is a tribunal for that purpose, although he may be a man of no principle, the very terror of punishment will perhaps deter him.”
Failure to impeach will send a clear message to AG Eric Holder and other civil officers that they are above the law and have no limits upon their desires no matter how malignant or pernicious. Edmund J. Randolph warned during the Constitutional Convention that “should no regular punishment be provided [speaking of impeachment], it will be irregularly inflicted by tumults & insurrections.”
Stand in honor of your Oath. Stand in honor of this Republic. Stand in honor of your duty to “preserve the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” Stand with your fellow Representatives in this effort to right this injustice to the Constitution and to the People.
Just as the Constitution requires this action, we demand this of you.
Sincerely,
The Declaration of Independence is the last of documents in the genealogy of our independence. The first being the 1100 Charter of Liberty, the 2nd being the Magna Carto of 1215, the Petition of Rights of 1628, the Grand Remonstrance of 1641 and the English Bill of Rights of 1689. All of these led to the 6th document in the roots of liberty, the Declaration of Independence and this is the topic of this Podcast. You do not want to miss this episode.
