Federalism, Illegal Immigration, the Budget, and the United States Constitution—part 5


My mistake! This was my planned Saturday post. I thought I had posted it Saturday afternoon. Obviously, I did not! I’m posting it today. Sorry for the confusion.

I haven’t been able to get to my blogger site since last Tuesday. I did this morning, obviously. I don’t know if not having this posted a week ago Saturday was because of problems blogger had or if I just forgot to post it. Either way, I’m posting it today and this will be the last post in this series. THANKS for your patience. Hopefully everything is fixed now!

Today, I e-mailed the following letter to the Minuteman PAC. One of the things that we, the people must do is to continue to pressure the federal government in all branches to obey the Constitution of the United States.

Petition Request to the Minuteman PAC

To: http://www.minutemanpac.com/

“I write a political blog at http://christiangunslinger.blogspot.com/. The U.S. Constitution states:

“In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be a Party, the supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction.”

Both of the federal lawsuits against Arizona’s and Utah’s illegal immigration laws are required to begin and end in the Supreme Court. They are not to begin in an inferior federal court.

I have signed your current petition. Why don’t you start a second petition to demand that all federal court cases where a State is a party begin in the Supreme Court where they are Constitutionally required to begin? Furthermore, inferior court judges who violate this provision of the Constitution should be impeached and convicted for violating their oath of office.

Because of a word limitation for e-mails, I could not send the enter letter. The original letter included the following:

“I write a political blog at http://christiangunslinger.blogspot.com/. I am currently writing a series on “Federalism, Illegal Immigration, the Budget, and the United States Constitution.” I have pointed out that the U.S. Constitution states:

The United States Constitution, Article III, Section 2, ¶ 2:

“In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be a Party, the supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction.”

Both of the federal lawsuits against Arizona’s and Utah’s illegal immigration laws are required to begin and end in the Supreme Court. They are not to begin in an inferior federal court.

I have signed your current petition. Why don’t you start a second petition to demand that all federal court cases where a State is a party begin in the Supreme Court where they are Constitutionally required to begin? Furthermore, inferior court judges who violate this provision of the Constitution should be impeached and convicted for violating their oath of office.

Constitutionally, the term of office for a federal judge is not for life. The term of office is “during good Behavior.” This provision is found in Article III, Section 1. A few impeachments will make inferior federal court judges think twice about violating the Constitution! Convictions won’t be necessary for changing behavior and such impeachments will have a side benefit of making libertine Democrats look ridiculous if they vote against conviction knowing the judge has deliberately violated the Constitution.

Thank you and thank you for your constant efforts to stop this current Administration from ruining the nation. Let’s TAKE BACK THE NATION!

Sincerely,

Donald L. Vance”

Then, I also sent this additional e-mail to http://www.minutemanpac.com/

“I write a political blog at http://christiangunslinger.blogspot.com/. Earlier today I sent you an e-mail about a possible petition. Because of your word limitation, I reduced the size of the e-mail. I wanted you to know I’m posting both that e-mail and my original e-mail on my blog this afternoon.

Thank you

Donald L. Vance”
