Holder: International Law Trumps The Constitution!
Dear
Conservative,
Every
now and then, news breaks in the Obama administration that is so stereotypical,
it is actually depressing. You might want to sit down for this.
Attorney
General Eric Holder, made infamous by Operation Fast and Furious, is currently
arguing before the Supreme Court that United Nations treaties trump the United
States Constitution.
That’s
right. The sitting Attorney General, charged with upholding and defending the
Constitution, is arguing before the highest court that international law is in
fact the law of the land.
The
case in question, Bond v. United States, is actually pretty ridiculous. The
defendant is charged with using a toxic substance to harass a friend who was
having an affair with her husband. Under the law, this case would normally be
handled at the State-level. But Federal prosecutors instead charged Bond with
violating the Chemical Weapons Convention. This would be like taking a perpetrator
of a domestic hate crime and instead charging him or her with genocide.
This
case is basically a complex liberal experiment to see how far they can push the
boundaries regarding the enforcement of international law. An Obama
administration victory in this case could have huge ramifications for other
contentious issues like abortion, citizenship, and even the Second Amendment.
It’s
no secret that the Obama administration is looking to enact gun control by any
means necessary. That means exhausting all options. The United Nations Arms
Trade Treaty would provide an excellent way to limit Americans’ access to
firearms without dealing with Congress. The problem is, the treaty cannot
become law without the Senate ratifying it (which won’t happen). If the Supreme
Court rules in Obama’s favor, the U.N. Arms Treaty could become the law of the
land anyway.
The
funny thing is that the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty specifically prohibits the
exportation of small arms to countries if there is a reasonable expectation
that they would be used against civilians. If Holder wins this case and ushers
in the implementation of the treaty, his involvement in Fast and Furious,
leading to the death of countless Mexican civilians, would make him an
international criminal.
But
since Holder would be in charge of investigating himself for international
crimes, he’d likely be acquitted…
All
jokes aside, Bond v. United States represents a grave risk to the sovereignty
of this great country and the supremacy of the U.S. Constitution. Everyone
always posits that the liberals want to replace the Constitution with U.N. law,
but no one actually expected them to try to.
If
the Courts rule that international law is law of the land, and if the Executive
branch is more than willing to implement this ruling, then only the Congress
can stand against this rising tyranny.
A
lot of times, Congress’ power can be overstated. But the Constitution’s system
of checks and balances exist for a reason. If one or two branches of government
fall to tyranny, then a third branch would still remain to herald the cause of
liberty. With the way the Supreme Court has been ruling lately, and Obama’s
burning desire to shred the Constitution, the Congress is all that stands
between state sovereignty and global governance.
Unfortunately
more often than not, Congressmen and Senators wouldn’t recognize creeping
tyranny if it slapped them in the face.
That’s
where we come in. Believe it or not, we have reached a point in our history
where we actually have to plead with our representatives to defend the
Constitution from its domestic and foreign enemies.
If
the Supreme Court rules in the administration’s favor, you can say hello to
universal weapons registration. You want to buy a firearm? Good luck explaining
why you really need one. And good luck getting your hands on one of
those imported World War II rifles you’ve had your eye on.
Most
of the time, slippery slope arguments are overblown. But there’s no
exaggeration to this. Even when the Senate refused to ratify the U.N. Arms
Treaty, Obama had Secretary of State John Kerry sign it anyway. Talk about
defiance!
The
only thing that stands between Kerry’s signature and Obama’s gun control agenda
is that pesky piece of parchment called the Constitution. And if the Supreme
Court rules in Obama’s favor, you can kiss the Bill of Rights goodbye.
If
you value your second amendment rights, or any of your rights for that matter,
stand and fight. Urge Congress to honor its oath and reject Obama’s globalist
ambitions.
Sincerely,
Joe

Meanwhile #1...(because Obama invaded Syria last night)
Do any of you Obama-Biden voters remember this?
It's one of the reasons you voted for them...right?
What say you now? ...aah, on a second thought, forget it, I wouldn't want you to feel guilty!
Meanwhile #2 ... (from the 'I wish I could do that' category)
If I had a million dollars to spare I would give it away to the first person that could come up with one good thing John Kerry has done for America during his so-called public service. ...and don't tell me that you'll go look it up, for that tells me right away that you just don't know. Just ONE good thing for America...just one!
Update... And I would like to amend this to include Hillary Clinton...Can anyone name just one good thing she has done for America... Don't even attempt to look that one up there's not enough days in the year nor enough libraries in the world to find a satisfactory answer...and yet people will vote for this no-gooder for America... Oh well, I guess that falls under the category of freedom of choice.
