Yet another steaming crock o’shite

This video is another one of those deceptive products of Congress intended to make you think that Congress has far more power than it does. Your brain would have to be flatlining under the influence of Splenda (sucralose) or punched full of holes by Equal (aspartame) to fall for this crap.
As we have reviewed several times before, there are only two ways to change the Constitution. Congress can’t do it. The president can’t do it, either, not even a real president.
And what do we know about legislative acts that violate the Constitution? Hang this on your gun belt:
“[a]n unconstitutional act is not a law; . . . it imposes no duties; it is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.” Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425, 442 (1886).
“An unconstitutional act is not a law; it binds no one.” Huntington v. Worthen, 120 U.S. 97, 101-02 (1887).
“An unconstitutional law is void, and is as no law. An offence created by it is not a crime.” Ex parte Siebold, 100 U.S. 371, 376 (1880), quoted with approval in Fay v. Noia, 372 U.S. 391, 408 (1963).
Do we have to wait until a court issues a ruling on the constitutionality of a legislative act? No, we don’t. Each of us is the final arbiter of the Constitution. Dave Champion explains in this 12-minute segment of his show.
Blatant lies about private property rights
