I was screaming inside my head this morning when I saw Obama on the news talking about how Paul Ryan's plan would "violate the social compact with Americans" during his Facebook appearance. What social compact? It is completely ludicrous that this guy ever taught constitutional law.

Why is it that there is not a single voice calling for the president's impeachment: telling the DOJ not to defend DOMA in courts is a clear and in your face usurpation of power of all three branches of government? He is not in Congress anymore, and he is not in the Supremes yet..:) He only has a mandate to implement what the Congress tells him and the SC does not object to, thus he must defend DOMA by default.

Mark: You hit on a subject that's really a spur under my saddle.

On a Fox interview, some scripted dem talking head was pontificating on the self-same subject, and summed it up with all the enlightened brilliance he could muster, that the US is a "Democracy,"

Bull! Athens was a democracy, the US is a Constitutional Republic; and in the end the populous fell under the sway, promises and bribes of charlatans.

All because of what "Greeks wanted" rather than what their city-state "needed."

The U. S. Constitution is the contract between the people, who live in the several States, and a federalist government they created. The contract clearly states what that government can and cannot do. IF THE PEOPLE WANT A NEW DEAL [as Barry seems to think], THEN AMEND OR REPLACE THE CONSTITUTION! Until then the contract holds and if Barry's bunch don't want to abide by it, I'll remind them that it is the SOLE source of their authority over me.

The real question is why isn't some in the Senate and the House going after this guy for violating our Constitution. It is clear he has only one objective and that is to turn America into another third world country. I served 20 years in the military defending America, and I resent this guy apologizing to anyone for anything I or my brothers in arms have ever done. We all agrees to pay with our lives if necessary. Many made the supreme sacrafice just so this bozo could run around apologizing for them. Maybe Obama should tell the prisoners at Auswitch that we were bad people. I think any survivors would disagree.

It is very evident that as America fast goes down the drain like all previous Empires, the more good articles are written by few well meaning Americans! And yes, read by very few Americans. Sort of like shooting in the air? What is so laughable is when writers always say: The American people! Every single politician also uses that, while when they open their mouth, whether Republican or Democrat they basically insult the Founding Fathers! America will continue on the road of self-destruction as long as it fully disobeys the Founding Fathers, as is the case ever more so!

Mark - I understand the point being conveyed, but think you should get rid of the graphic showing a copy of the Constitution going through a shredder. If it were a cartoon, maybe I wouldn't feel the same way, but the realistic photo-like portrayal is akin to those disgusting photos of religious symbols in or covered with effluents. The photo sickens me. Can't we leave that to folks who do not love the Constitution?

Mark, another great piece that should be required reading by ALL our Congressional members!

There is an ancient curse: May God grant you what you want! We send fellow citizens to Washington

to represent us not to give us what we want. In

the prayer taught to us by Jesus, the Master, we are instructed to ask God(not the Emperor)to grant what we need.

American voters should have questioned Mr. Obama's bona fides to lead this country before November 2008. Many, obviously too many, did not. Now we are faced with the consequences of their decision. I suspect many of those now voicing opposition to Mr. Obama may have voted for his pretention. Well so be it. To cry now about that election is pointless uhnless it be as a warning to future electorates. We have got to look to 2012 and decide, here and now, to examine each candidate on his merits and not on what some MSM media hack says about him, or her.

I support John Bolton and ask each patriot to review his record and decide for themselves whether Mr. Bolton is a candidate they could vote for president. A good starting point for your review can be found on Wikipedia. Though it leans left, Wikipedia seems to present Mr. Bolton's record fairly.

"Our Founders intended that elected officials, by way of their oaths, would be constrained by Rule of Law. However, there was an errant assumption that those elected would be men and women of honor who would abide by their oaths."

This "errant assumption" is undoubtedly one of the "causes" referred to by Rousseau when he wrote, "The body politic, as well as the human body, begins to die as soon as it is born, and carries in itself the causes of its destruction."

It is (happily!) so easy to ehaust superlatives in commenting on PatriotPost articles and essays. And Alexander's on "What the American People Want" is a classic example. Thanks!

Thanks Mark for an excellent lesson. The will of the people is the Constitution, until amended by the people in accordance with the Constitution.

I supported your Patriots Day Campaign today - I wish it was more, but it's what I can afford. I look forward to every issue of your organization and it is imperative to the success of our nation.

Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Words here only let off steam. To do any good Congress must act, but how do we get them to do so??

I believe Obama taught the Constitution for 10 years - I'll even concede it was the Constitution if the United States. I question WHAT he taught about the Constitution.

The Constitution does not begin with "What the American people want", it begins with "We, the people..."

I swore an oath many years ago when I was inducted into the US Army to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic --- I fullfilled my contract about the foreign enemies (and I'm prepared to do it again, if necessary but the time is upon us to defend against the domestic enemies. And, in their infinite wisdom, the framers of the Constitution provided a means to defend against domestic enemies...I'll see you at the ballot box, Mr. Obama.

The problem is indeed that some of The so called American people want abortion, pornography and big government... these people are a risk to national security. They are the enemy within and if they succeed , our Christian based society will be destroyed soon. Unfortunately these so called American people that Obama refers to, like himself, did not learn from history... and that a socialist or communist nation will never survive, and will be eventually destroyed or destroyes itself from within.

Bravo! Well done. I deeply wish you and your staff were the ones teaching our kids what this country is all about. Keep up the excellent work. I also took the same oath as our now Commander-in-Chief -- " to protect and defend". I lived up to my oath. What's wrong with him and members of congress?

Unfortunately members of both parties seem to drink from the same spiked punch bowl. Sen McConnel and the President both argue wrongly from the same logical fallacy (Ad Populum), appealing to popularity instead of the facts, ironically found in the US Constitution they swore to support and defend. I think another reading is in order in both houses with a mandatory exam at the end.

The smart half of the country agrees that the constitution is brilliant and would ensure prosperity and freedom to us and the rest of the world if only it were followed. But what is to stop the neo-Bolsheviks from replacing the Constitution with a leftist dictatorship? Is civics education enough to sway public opinion? I don't have that much faith in the masses. Simply arguing that this or that idea is not constitutional is certainly not going to make a single leftist curb his lust for power. Perhaps we need to appeal to an indwelling Morality rather than the constitution?

Excellent piece. Goes to the core of what is wrong with our country.

If they won't keep their oath, what else matters?

Exactly, some of the readers have hit the nail on the head. And one more for The Man, Thomas Jefferson. Apparently our little self proclaimed King or whatever he think he is, he isn't. He has trampled all over the Constitution. Apparently he never takes off his golf spikes because he is leaving holes in our Constitution and as far as the Oath of Office, it was much like anything else the automatic mouth says, don't mind what I say, just watch what I do. I have called my Congressman and Senator so many times, I am practically on a first name basis asking the same things as some of our readers, force Obama to open his records and everything else will fall in place and we won't be talking about the same issues everyday. I do not see the intestinal fortitude of Congress to open the books of this President.

For a succinct understanding of the the necessity of limits of Congressional power within the US Constitution, I recommend reading Davy Crockett's speach before the House of Representatives concerning welfare. The article is on the internet under Davy Crockett vs Welfare (http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig4/ellis1.html

Re: Mark (above);

I disagree with you sir when you imply, with Rousseau, that the seed of destruction was sown at the ratification of our Constitution. Sir, the Constitution allows for Amendment should the majority of the people agree that change is necessary. Destruction of the Constitution, and our country with it, can only be accomplished when an agent for anarchy deliberately abandons the Constitution, or destroys it.

If Barack H.Obama's (that's HO-bama) administrations public service obligation is to accomplish "what the American people want", then when are they going to start doing what the people want? 1. Create jobs other than McDonald type jobs. 2. Energy crisis- DRILL for oil off shore, in Alaska and any other states where it is. 3. Illegal aliens- seal the borders and get rid of those that are here. 4. Health care- get rid of that piece of crap you crammed down our throats. it's worthless, just like you. That list is just a start, there are many more items.

If someone had investigated Obama further, before he was elected, then he should not have been allowed to run. I spent 20 years in the Navy, and if I would have associated with people such as the ones he did, I would probably not have got in. I had to sign papers stating that I never associated with a long list of things. Later on in my career I had a back ground investigation for a clearance to be around nuclear weapons, had I had any association with his associates, I would not have gotten the clearance, and he's the president.

To this day, I still can't fathom the fact that their are enough dumb people in this country to put him in office, but then I sometimes watch Jay Leno, and his Jaywalking sure comes up with a lot of them.

I went to school when your first year was grade 1 and my first six years were in a one room school house. I also went to vacation bible school every summer and some years a couple of times. One of them was Menonite. I graduated from HS on Jun 2nd and Jun 9th left for boot camp. Not much for an education, but I have read all my life, because life is not one big party. I don't know what they teach the kids today, but it sure isn't working.

This essay goes to the top of the list. I think we all need to understand that its what the Constitution dictates and not what the people want.

Lack of knowledge (on the people's part) of what the Constitution is all about has lead us to elect officials in Washington who are also ignorant of it's content. Now I have something to study and learn.

Mark this is great work by you and your staff. Don't ever stop.God Bless and have a happy Easter

The "People" have always tended to want a king. Freedom is a gift from God, but it requires effort - a king gives you much less, but you don't have to work as hard. Our Founders knew the difference, and gave us freedom; now that freedom is squandered because "the people" are not worthy of it anymore, nor do they desire it. "Freedom of choice is what you've got. Freedom FROM choice is what you want." -DEVO

God help this Republic!

Re: Authorizing Increase of National Debt

Dear Mr. Speaker:

Obama cannot be trusted to keep his word.

Obama knew that the Czar amendment was part of the overall budget deal he agreed to; yet he cavalierly defied congress and ignored it.

If Obama cannot be trusted to keep his word on Czars, then he will not honor or keep his word on any conditions Congress imposes as a condition for raising the national debt.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on the GOP!

America’s very survival is at stake. Under no circumstances should Congress agree to increase the national debt, because Obama is a calculating liar who will do whatever he chooses – ignoring any agreements – and destroy America!

I've read often that The Anointed One taught Constitutional Law at Chicago Law School for 10 years. You would have thought one of his former students might have commented on this by now. Another unsolved mystery!

Hey, this is a great piece! It ought to be read by every person in a position of authority in government including BHO!

Mark, you are so right; Obama says things that sound like a populist, but we have seen the full truth that he is a socialist. What the vast majority of the people want, I believe, is for the President and his comrades to reverse course, before it is too late. But, I agree also that the worst thing is their utter disregard for the Constitution.

Always the optimist, I must say that if we can just hang on until 2012, he will go down hard. By election time there will not be anyone to vote for him except a small number who are as lunatic-left as Nancy Pelosi.

So Obummer professes to have taught Constitutional Law. Well, I submit that there are products of public education English teachers and professors (unionized) that profess to have taught the English language as well. Just look at the test scores. Or read some of your local blogs or other written disgraces. Groan here.

Just because he got hired to "teach" that subject or any subject for that matter, doesn't mean the sorry sack was qualified to do that any more than he is to be the president of the United States.

Mark, for once I'm in lockstep with you. I am going to quote a reply and give a reply to something that was posted yesterday. I only wish you could spell it out more later on.

I am going to quote Buzzkill in his/her entirity.

@RKSprau -- Your point about halfbreed... are both of your parents American citizens, or is this a case of your not being eligible to the presidency?

I am honestly interested in the difference. You see, if your "German" half was actually a naturalized American of German decent, you should be eligible to the Executive.

Calling yourself "half German" somehow smacks of the divisive foolishness of hyphenating. Claiming your heritage is one thing - a fine thing, to be sure - but to own up to being anything other than 100% American is disingenuous.

Yeah... left-field tangent, but still in the park!

I have many friends who read this blog but refuses to sign up for it, many that do. Half breed comment is raciest. I said I'm educated, I was told, why flaunt it in our face? to them this shows undereducated raciest.

I made a comment a Story behind the story about Brach County. I was born in Coldwater. As for the vetoed law in Az which will pass. AZ DOES NOT HAVE A LONG FORM. No comment on that? Woman do not undergo the procedure as some ethnic groups. NO COmment on that?

I am your friend in respects to showing how the world, yes I dare say it, world views Tea Partiers. Tea Partiers unfortunately do to to modern Liberal television is overweight, undereducated raciest. We all know this isn't it but half breed comment with your little snide remark at the end only serves to re-enforce the perception.

I said we need to come up with solutions. Everyone is fixated on ethnic or left wing idealism. Again perception.

The Wisc Rep went home to push his budget and was reamed by his own backers. Perception. when I commented on Socialism and the states who want disaster relief hand outs. Like it or not this is socialism.

when I said 3 cities was taken over in Mich by the big government the Tea Party put in place, this is communism, it is. When I said one of those cities had there fundamental freedoms taken away for a 10,000.00 year fee golf course, it is what it is.

Perception. let's change the perception. According to Az Law as they want it, I am not eligible then again neither are most of them so what they hey.

It's all about perception. when I said the best GOP estimate in the polls is 69% of all Tea Partiers say only slight to modest change to no change in Medicare/Medicade, the Ryan Budget who he was reamed over by his own supporters, some of which said, trickle down doesn't work, Perception.

I was told you spelled his name wrong so what give me the right to comment? Heck, I've seen numerous misspellings so what gives you the right to point out a misspelling and the the substance? Perception. This is how they view you.

Henry, you are dead on. Now did you count the cost?

Buzzkill, my grandfather is naturalized. He came over after WW1. My grandmother, they are the original Americans. I am a 3rd generation American, if that means anything these days. When Bachmann got caught on GMA being shown a birth certificate, well my ethnicity is called into question. Perception. When I say 2 governors swear he was born in the state, hey I'm playing some race card. Perception. When I point out the serious candidates believe in the documentation, the focus on if I can run. Again perception.

Quit focusing on race and get on with the major issues and think it through.

As for name calling, I rad, "The anointed one." So someone likes Hannity on FOX. It's his catch phrase. Hey Hannity looks Irish. I know for I was stationed in Europe. Maybe we should question him about his race? Perception.

Stand for something or stand for nothing.

I love this blog, I subscribe to it. I read the federalist papers once a year. I read the Anti Nicene fathers Once a year. I love seeing where I missed the mark but trust me when I say, the other sides thinks you are the above. Why? Again it's the perception you give.

Unfortunately, the inside the Beltway crowd, Dems and Republicans alike, have no idea what the American People want, because they have never bothered to ask us directly. And further, if they have, they haven't been paying attention to what we are saying. We live in the communication age in which these so-called Representatives and Senators can easily access our email addresses or snail mail addresses and ask us. Oh, yes, from time to time they do send out surveys that ask us how we feel about this or that, but most missives are always accompanied by requests for money to fund the program. I don't want to fund a program, I want them to ask me WHAT I THINK and then act on it.

I am ever amazed at your ability to clearly and succinctly pinpoint the issue. I'm at a loss to understand why no one else seems to to get it. If we'd stuck to the rule of law we wouldn't have the economic mess we have at present. We've got a pretty good crisis on our hands economically, but a better one constitutionally. Understanding and rightly dealing with the rule of law is paramount for the voters and our elected officials if we expect the Republic to survive.

Lead on, Mr Alexander, lead on!

I just wanted The Patriot Post to know how much your bumper sticker is enjoyed and reviled by those of varying political persuasians. It has been a hoot driving around my ultra-liberal town with "Annoy a Liberal Work Hard - Succeed - Be Happy" prominently displayed on my rear bumper.

Mark, I am a considerable admirer of the Patriot Post, which sees the world in much the same historical context as do I and which features graceful, historically well informed commentaries on the state of the nation.

As I know that you see things in the context of the Constitution, let me suggest to you that it is the Constitution at the root of all our troubles.

No, not the document as crafted by the Founding Fathers, which is the best prescription for a free society ever devised. I mean the Constitution as Amended on February 5th, 1913.

Whether by design or happy accident, in leaving nearly all taxing powers save customs duties and excise taxes at the level of state and local government, the Founders created a market place in governance: any jurisdiction that got out of line started bleeding business and citizens to better run places. In effect, the Constitution not only gave us a vote every few years at the ballot box, it gave us the far more potent ability to vote with our feet every day.

When discussing this observation with liberals, I always preface my remarks by asking them "if you want to buy a car, insurance policy, a cell phone or anything else, would you prefer to have 10, 20 or 50 potential suppliers vying for your order, or a monopoly or duopoly offering you "take it or leave it"? No one has ever chosen the monopoly.

Why then did we ever think that we could reduce the marketplace in governance without dire consequence? It is the 16th amendment that has incrementally destroyed the Constitution as an economic instrument.

There is, however, a way to escape those chains and restore the central benefit of the Founding plan, which I would be happy to share if asked.

We have to replace Obama next year. In fact we need to replace congress with members who [1] respect the constitution [2] abide by the constitution. Above all we have the right make changes.

Arrogantly deciding to not support DOMA, alone, proves the Executive Branch's utter lack of respect for our Constitution.

I predict the Constitution will become a museum document, un-read, not followed, and not taught to students in any public school at any level. I predict that because the Congress and the Supreme Court and the Office of the President already do not strictly adhere to the Constitution if they choose not to abide by it. So, as the country devolves into a failing democracy run strictly on the majority rule system, our system of laws, and of course the Constitution will be locked away under glass somewhere. Kinda like Indiana Jones' box that in the movie held the Ark of the Covenant--and maybe in the box next to it in some dusty warehouse.

Severn,

The U.S. Constitution is NOT a sacred document unless you accept the god of the Constitution - "We the People". See the extensive treatment of this issue by a frequent commenter to PatriotPost, Mr. Ted Weiland - http://www.missiontoisrael.org/biblelaw-constitutionalism-pt1.php

“There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.“ Theodore Roosevelt (1919)

I’m a Christian and an American in the sense that Paul was a Roman!

One VA Patriot,

Perhaps you forget what the "Founding Fathers" said:

“Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound BY ITS OWN VOLUNTARY ACT. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution.” James Madison: Federalist No. 39 (1788)

“In the next place, the state governments are, by the very theory of the constitution, essential constituent parts of the general government. They [state governments] can exist without the latter [general government], but the latter cannot exist without them.” Joseph Story: Commentaries on the Constitution (1833)

The States will continue to exist and govern WITHOUT a “federal” government. I will disagree with the Editor here in that the problem IS the present Constitution. There is no danger or insecurity in the abolition of a Constitution that professes the wrong authority for the institution of governments among men.

Thomas Jefferson would have been wise had he said: "In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the Holy Commandments of the Holy Bible."

The missing factor in the Obama equation is, of course, the assertion that "The American People" reject and dismiss the Constitution. There may be some truth to that, of course: "The American People" is a profoundly spoiled and illiterate bunch. But the way Obama puts it reminds me of

Mark Twain's observation on seeing his obituary:

"somewhat exaggerated".

I still have a note stuck to the side of my computer from 2008 election it reads:

Symbolism

over

Substance

But there were many qualified black men who could have been a better choice. You guys all know Americans are fascinated with celebrity. Still the Founders wrote a document that took all of this into consideration, somehow. They were guided by Divinity. That document is the first of its kind. To me, God is showing us what a good government is about. Freedom, Liberty, Beauty, Goodness. Happy Easter everyone. Thanks

This should be your poster-article. It sums everything up in a nice, tidy package - it's the Constitution, stupid. The people who put it together weren't saints, as some would like us to think; nor were they evil Masons intent on ruling the world. They were just men, attempting to avoid the obvious and telltale signs of tyranny. And they gave all for the chance for tyranny to rest six feet deep. If people would read a little history, they'd realize that things weren't all that different in the 17th and 18th centuries. All the same ingredients exist today for another Tea Party.

This is one of the more stupid posts that I have seen on here. You people, with your strident causes, will never get anything done. You jump on Boehner and McConnell because they don't consider your every whim to be a dictum. You sound like petulant children,whining about each perceived slight. Grow up and support the party. Learn that negotiation and compromise is how it works

You brought in the Independents in 2010, and now you stand to lose them. you will be known as yet another Ross Perot

YOU GO, MARK! I'm so sick of all the rhetoric. Politicians............just follow our Constitution; verify WHERE (in the Constitution)you have the right to even consider the bills brought before you, WHERE (in the Constitution) it spells out that you have the right to pass such bills, and WHERE (in the Constitution) it (the bill) aligns. We have too much garbage (in the form of BILLS) proposed, voted on, and passed that liberally interpret what the founding fathers "thought". Don't go on what they "thought". Go on what they WROTE! These men were intelligent enough to pen exactly what they THOUGHT!!!!!!!

'I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.'"

Being the lawyer he is, Obama has found a loophole in his Oath of Office, "...,and will to the best of my Ability,...",

So his Professorial SCOTUS-like interpretation is something like, "Each according to [my] ability, Each according to [my] Need?"

areat Th

I believe all incoming Presidents, congressmen and woman should attend classes on the US Constitution before being sworn in and learn what the document is all about. Don't get elected before reading and learning what the document means for this country. You do not need to be elected before learning what is in the US Constitution. How can you abide by the US Constitution if you are ignorant about the document. To Nancy Pelosi, you do not need to be elected to find out what is in the US Constitution.

Could someone explain to me why balancing any budget, federal or state, is not as simple as STOP SPENDING MORE THAN YOU TAKE IN!!!

Excellent article, yes ,if only the corrupt officials from the district of criminals would indeed offer more than mere lip service to the "law of our land". I can think of two things that would greatly put them in remembrance of "the constitution". one being, a new pair of orange coveralls and change of address to the one caught violating it, instead of a high five, and also "term limits". It was never intended for a politician to live in such a corrosive atmosphere as washington d.c. for more than a few years, but for them to do their duty then return to the farm and get their fingers dirty and hobknob with ordinary folk and get their heads screwed on right again. Instead, they hang around d.c. for 50 years, getting rich, bought off, and lose all sense of sanity.
