America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee
Thomas Jefferson, to Gideon Granger in 1800, wrote:
Our country is too large to have all its affairs directed by a single government. Public servants at such a distance, and from under the eye of their constituents, must, from the circumstance of distance, be unable to administer and overlook all the details necessary for the good government of the citizens; and the same circumstance, by rendering detection impossible to their constituents, will invite public agents to corruption, plunder and waste. And I do truly believe that if the principle were to prevail in the United States in which the general government possesses all the power of the state governments, and reduces us to a single consolidated government, it would become the most corrupt government on the earth.
United States Supreme Court Justice Thomas in a concurring statement wrote:
The majority opinion correctly applies our decision in United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549 (1995), and I join it in full. I write separately only to express my view that the very notion of a “substantial effects” test under the Commerce Clause is inconsistent with the original understanding of Congress’ powers and with this Court’s early Commerce Clause cases. By continuing to apply this rootless and malleable standard, however circumscribed, the Court has encouraged the Federal Government to persist in its view that the Commerce Clause has virtually no limits. Until this Court replaces its existing Commerce Clause jurisprudence with a standard more consistent with the original understanding, we will continue to see Congress appropriating state police powers under the guise of regulating commerce. — US v. MORRISON No. 99-5, decided May 15, 2000
Justice Thomas’ observations concerning the Supreme Court’s “rootless and malleable standard(s)” which have allowed Congress and the Presidents to destroy Sovereign States rights and create, “a single consolidated government” were once again predicted by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Thomas Ritchie in 1820:
The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric. They are construing our Constitution from a co-ordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone.
USSC Justice O’Connor and Justice Breyer wrote a dissenting opinion in 1997 that said, “To Madison, then, duties to God were superior to duties to civil authorities—the ultimate loyalty was owed to God above all.” — BOERNE v. FLORES No. 95-2074.
Within this Testament of Sovereignty is outlined an invidious and covert plan to bypass constitutional restrictions on our governments, enslave all Citizens through oppressive taxation, create a socialist religion of the State where the federal government becomes a god that is above the God of this nation, Jesus Christ, and allows the worship of Christ only when it does not interfere with the interests of the State. Christians are commanded to render unto God the things which are God’s. No Christian can do this when federal laws of “general application” upheld by the United States Supreme Court, destroy the Christian’s ability to maintain the ultimate loyalty owed to God above all. The federal government has become “the most corrupt government on the earth.” We can stop this tyranny and return to a Constitutional Republic under God but “No King but King Jesus,” must be our battle cry and our duty to God must be “superior to duties to civil authorities.”
