One of the very few bloggers who get it, that the Constitution, written by elitists for elitists--not the American people (or, should I say, by slave owners for slave owners, or else slavery wouldn't have stood quasi-legal in the form of "3/5 of a person" BS, was NEVER completely meant to uphold liberty for the people and was written in a deliberately vague manner as well as setting up what would later become the 14th Amendment, which created corporate citizens (that is, UNITED STATES CITIZENS, all of whom reside in the District of Columbia) under the guise of creating a class of citizenship for newly freed slaves. Now it is nearly impossible to re-establish the "sovereign citizen" who, for one, owes nothing to the IRS (but since it is mandatory for citizens of the District of Columbia to pay taxes per the Constitution (16th amendment, whether or not it was properly ratified), the elites and banksters HAD TO impose universal "District of Columbia" CORPORATE UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP ON US ALL.

Will, you and Shaffer and a few others understand this, of course.

Thanks for bringing up this "constitutional" issue!

"The function of the judiciary is liturgical."

I am so ANGRY THAT I DIDN'T THINK OF THIS FIRST. Will, this encapsulates it all. Brilliant, utterly brilliant.

This article dovetails perfectly with an interesting book I am reading currently by Professor Thomas DiLorenzo called "Lincoln Unmasked". If you want to learn more about the man who murdered The U.S. Constitution it's well worth reading.

Of course, given that the Federalists won the constitutional debate in 1787 it was probably inevitable that the Hamiltonian concept of the plenary powers of the federal government would prevail. When Obushma beats Obamney this November he will embark on a bold and flagrant expansion of the Chief Executives plenary powers via executive orders, signing statements, spurious claims of executive privilege and other tyrannical devices.

All of these measures are much beloved by the bipartisan Hamiltonian miscreants who have been ruining The Republic since it's inception. Lincoln did much damage to our nation and should be widely reviled but the Federalist principles carried the seeds of liberties destruction from the very beginning.

Great article.

Our fed-gov is in essence a mystery religion.

At its heart is this "secret constitution" reserved
and understood by the initiated but shrouded from
the profane with symbolism and half truth.

If the veil fades, in comes the Supreme Court to resolve
the schism and we all go back to our hymnals confident
that the world is rational.

Ultimately, at the heart of the mystery lies the "secret"
and the secret is: there is no secret. It's all bullshit.

You've outdone yourself yet again, William. While I intend to circulate this far and wide to friends and loved ones who pay mere lip service to the idea of liberty without grasping its substance, I know in advance that it will be a wasted effort. Far too many of those I love, as well as millions of others in this country, are simply too thoroughly brainwashed to face the truth. To restate the sentiments expressed in KPRyan's comment, to acknowledge that everything they have ever been taught about "their" government is a complete and total lie is just too horrific for them to contemplate. Better to remain in a state of willful ignorance for as long as possible.

Spooner and Royce(Boston T. Party - Hologram of Liberty in particular) were/are correct. Great to see so many waking up and becoming students and advocates of the philosophically mature Non-Aggression Principle.

Another excellent article.

It was only in early middle age (that sounds better, I think) a few years ago that I finally realized it was necessary to look at EVERYTHING my parents, my teachers, my books, the tele and news and Holywood taught, explained, and downloaded into my mind with a jaundiced eye (and heavy heart).

I've been exploring the idea recently that those who created and ratified the Constitution did so with a totally different understanding of the 'social contract' than the one offered up for popular consumption.

And now to read Butler Shaffer's (and William Grigg's) contention that 'our leaders' have never deviated from the Constitution (despite the tale weaved by the Republican establishment), I find this argument reinforces that particularly bitter pill for me to swallow. But yes, it makes sense: "Any ... charter permitting seizure of property through ''eminent domain'' and the suspension of habeas corpus for any reason is latently totalitarian at best..."
