Where did it all go wrong? You are about to find out, and you are not
going to like it one bit.
I truly believe that many of the problems we have with government and
the judiciary today stem from the deliberate bastardization of the English
language by those in government.
The laws of English grammar are totally inflexible. It is absolutely
impossible for any English-speaking nation that prides itself on the assertion
that it is a nation of law and not of men, without adhering to a strict discipline
in the use of the English language and grammar, to be anything other than a
nation of men without law. Proper English is essential in the drafting of those
national laws; otherwise tyranny will always be the end result.
The Supreme Court has pontificated that the Constitution is a living,
breathing document, and that, as such, it must evolve with the changing
society that it governs – that they, this majestic body of legal intellectuals,
in this process of an ever-evolving society, must interpret the organic
Constitution for us, the ignorant masses.
Preposterous!
The Constitution is written in plain English so that anyone with a fifth
grade education can understand its simple meaning. It isn’t written in Russian
or Chinese and doesn’t need interpretation. Does the Constitution get cold
or hot, sick or diseased? Does it get old and senile?
The Constitution is not a living, breathing document. It’s a dead
tree! – a dead tree that was processed into paper so that eternal ideas and
heavenly concepts of men governing themselves could be preserved for future
generations. It was written by noble visionaries that we call our founding
fathers. That is what the Constitution is, period!
The visions and concepts immortalized in the Constitution cannot
evolve with our society, because man by the very nature of being man rarely
rises to a higher level of nobility. We as a species usually evolve to a lower base
of decadence – immorality – one notch above a slug; that’s the nature of man
and it has been so since the Garden of Eden.
The United States Constitution – this document that the learned justices
say must evolve to keep up with our society – is why we were the only nation
in the entire existence of the human race to ever promise life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness to all of its citizenry and then deliver on that promise.
Look around and determine for yourself if we are a moral society that must
have an evolving Constitution to keep up with us.
Our government has taken from us our common law and the protections
it afforded us and replaced common law with government-made vulgar law,
called statutory law, that strips us of our freedom by creating legal fictions
and compelling performance from those legal fictions which common law
did not.
