U.S. Constitution- the mini series; Article 1, Sections 1&2

[vhbeazel]

Visit our discussion group on ChangeDotOrg: A More Perfect Union...I have obtained a copy of the US Constitution in Spanish, and am hoping to find someone who wants to read it, so that everyone will be able to read our constitution anywhere in the world, on their cell phones, in their own language.

Why don't you go on referendum. Isn't that the way ?!

[skinnychef]

oh golly, i just deleted a comment trying to reply! damn comment limits!

anyway, some nice patriot said that they had contacted their representative on H Res 1106 to IMPEACH these jerks for high crimes!!!! what a great idea!!!

Everyone should do it!!!

[atmore58]

Absolutely! Representative McKinney is in search of a co-sponsor for HR-1106 to do just that. I know John Culberson (the rep for my distirct in Texas) won't, but my asking him lets him know the pressures ON!!!!

[skinnychef]

hi atmore! sorry i deleted your comment b4 on accident!!!

good on you putting the pressure on culbertson! you are a great patriot!

[atmore58]

Having established the source of impeachment powers, or whom they are vested in, the next step is to reveal the definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors" to decide which of the plethora of transgressions qualify. Nancy Pelosi is going in with a pledge to not have impeachment on the table.  She never said it wouldn't be in the second course, though! Try them and jail them, I say.

Just got this: McKinney introduced H Res 1106 on 12/8/06

Articles of impeachment against George W. Bush and other officials for high crimes and misdemeanors.

direct tax is allowed only by the state, This makes Federal income Tax un-constitutional!!!

[touristindc]

Without Prejudice UCC 1-207 is also being used by some to challenge the Federal Income Tax.

If this were Napoleonic Law, it would be unconstitional, but the tradition here is English Common Law. The understanding under Napoleonic Law is that anything not expressly permitted under law is forbidden. Under English Common Law, anything not expressly forbidden is permissable.

[LonestarDeTimberland]

Where do you get that idea? (citation?)

First the Constitution says what they (governments) can do and the amendments say what they cannot do, the 10th amendment says anything we haven't already said you can do, you cannot do and is reserved to the states or the people....so I'm calling bullshit.

[Urgelt]

It's because our system is based in English Common Law that it's necessary to point out what is forbidden. Hence the "don't go there" amendments. (Note: not all amendments are about "what you can't do.")

Wikipedia has a decent summary on both Napoleonic Law and English Common Law. This point about permissibility is a subtle one, however, and is not expressly addressed there.

But if you do a search on "Codex Alimentarius," you will turn up an illuminating example of the difference.

does this make me 3/5 citizen?

[touristindc]

The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and

shall have the sole Power of IMPEACHMENT.

What are we waiting for?

[skinnychef]

exactly!!!

pelosi said that impeachment is NOT on the table, but we need to get the Dems in line with the citizens>corporations...

[touristindc]

What I meant say was; hope we don't wait too long as the transfer is not yet in place.

I would like to think that her statement was just pre-election posturing. Otherwise, how many of us still really believe in this de facto two party system?

[skinnychef]

i hope you are right! we ought to start by impeaching dick, jailing don, and round it out with impeaching W and condi, and the whole damn bunch of 'em... just my opinion...hehe!

[touristindc]

Sounds like you are calling for a Re-Evolution ;)

If you are...well, I second the motion.

[skinnychef]

hahaha! hell yeah!!!

[sparta4eva]

I think I like the sound of this :-D skinychef
