Howdy all! How's the week going? Don't know yet? Well, it'll soon be over. Then we can all relax, watch for the pile of paper excrement come from DC and start a new week trying to figure out which paper goes in which receptacle. At least I've had some training in this matter; had a couple of granddaughter's special blends to change. Gotta love them little darlings!
Any hoo,..
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1
It is very imprudent to deprive America of any of her privileges. If her commerce and friendship are of any importance to you, they are to be had on no other terms than leaving her in full enjoyment of her rights. ~ Benjamin Franklin, Political Observations
What have we gone through as a nation this week in the Supreme Court? I believe we have witnessed the power of the Constitution. I believe we have witnessed the life that is still in that wonderful document which gives us our strong republic today. Year after year, the SCOTUS has met to discuss issues of law that pertain to the Constitution and had to decide which side is constitutionally correct. There have been major cases that have gone like a slam dunk to the correct decision. There have been decisions that have been so controversial, they are still questioned today. But what we have witnessed this week may well be the truest test of the Constitution ever. We may have witnessed the most direct debate on whether the Constitution is still worthy to be the document by which we formulate our government, or should the United States as we know it cease to exist and be reformulated. And the strangest part is, the answer from the Supreme Court is not needed to decide that any more. Why, you ask. Well, I'll tell you why I think so. Consider this: There was a case brought through the legal system, finally ending up in the court room with the Supreme Court. Arguments were heard from both sides. The justices asked very direct questions. The legal representatives answered, and now the justices will return to chambers and review and decide how to decide. They have taken on their role as the check and balance for the federal government AS DESCRIBED IN THE US CONSTITUTION! The Constitution worked this week. It worked very well. It survived. Yes, there is an answer due this June on the constitutionality of Obamacare. That will in itself have great impact on the future of our country. But, the Constitution is intact. It worked. It worked very well. And, it is still there. Now, I know you think I am a bit weird. Maybe that's because I'm from NY. And you're probably right. Maybe you think it's because I spent years cumulative under water. Again, spot on. But I have been following the guidance of Timothy as written above. I've been praying like anything, and giving Him thanks for being with us all. I know he did NOT sway anyone. He was just there, making His presence known to those who also prayed. His intercession may be present soon. I have already given Him and will continue to give Him more thanks, as you should. Benjamin has some great advice in his quote. Even though his advice was more towards foreign entities, the advice is good for anyone internally as well, who will wish to do business with the Americans; NOT the government I might add. Americans love their rights. Americans will fight for their rights, and die for them as necessary. So, if you want to do business with Americans, don't interfere with their rights. Some good advice that the federally elected employees should have followed when they thought up this idiotic 2000+ page law. Aunt Nancy said we need to vote for the bill so we can know what is inside of the bill. Too bad she didn't take the advice of her opponents. Had she, then Justice Scalia may not have had reason to refuse reading the bill to find out what's inside. He may not have had reason to liken the reading to the 8th amendment- cruel and unusual punishment.
Yes, the Constitution is working just fine, thank you! Sorry Barry; you'll have to try harder, and time is running out. Which reminds me folks. Time is running out on this regime. Watch for political speed bumps and hand grenades. After this catastrophic failure, Barry may get desperate. Eyes wide open, listen, and report what you find.
Take care, God bless,
AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!
