“As the founders widely understood, the Constitution is supreme. And it remains supreme even if the opinion of the Supreme Court contradicts it. If you believe, like I do, that all these judges take an oath to the Constitution – rather than an oath to precedent – and their oath requires them to issue opinions based on the original, legal meaning of the Constitution – then the doctrine of stare decisis is unconstitutional even if the Supreme Court disagrees.”

HONOLULU, Hawaii (Dec. 26, 2019) – A bill filed in the Hawaii Senate would ban the use of “stingrays” to track the location of phones and sweep up electronic communications without a warrant or court order in most situations. The proposed law would not only protect privacy in Hawaii; it would also hinder one aspect of the federal surveillance state.

Sen. Russell Ruderman (D), along with three cosponsors, introduced Senate Bill 465 (SB465) last January and it will carry over into the 2020 legislative session. The legislation would help block the use of cell-site simulators, known as “stingrays.” These devices essentially spoof cell phone towers, tricking any device within range into connecting to the stingray instead of the tower, allowing law enforcement to sweep up communications content, as well as locate and track the person in possession of a specific phone or other electronic device.

I’m really weary of American politics.

This last several weak, we’ve been treated to the political circus of impeachment hearings. It may seem momentous, but when you boil it all down, it will have virtually no impact on our lives. It was all political theater. But while Republicans and Democrats were yelling at each other across the aisle in the Capitol, they were working behind the scenes to steal our liberty and siphon away our wealth.

Forget everything you’ve ever been taught about free speech in America.

“I can’t remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride, but something touched me deep inside, the day the music died.”  American Pie, Don McLean

The music has certainly died in America.  No matter how painful it is to admit this nation is but a shadow of its former self.  Webster’s defined shadow as “An imperfect and faint representation.” This is not your grandfather’s America.

Isaiah 59:14 “And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

The most destructive Supreme Court decision in the history of America was handed down on February 10, 1947.  Everson v. Board of Education forever changed the landscape of America as seven terrorists in black robes declared that there was a “separation between the church and state” and removed the Bible as the foundation upon which all of American morality would be built.

“Once upon a midnight clear, there was a child’s cry, a blazing star hung over a stable, and wise men came with birthday gifts. We haven’t forgotten that night down the centuries. We celebrate it with stars on Christmas trees, with the sound of bells, and with gifts… We forget nobody, adult or child. All the stockings are filled, all that is, except one. And we have even forgotten to hang it up. The stocking for the child born in a manger. It’s his birthday we’re celebrating. Don’t let us ever forget that. Let us ask ourselves what He would wish for most. And then, let each put in his share, loving kindness, warm hearts, and a stretched out hand of tolerance. All the shining gifts that make peace on earth.”—The Bishop’s Wife (1947)

The Christmas story of a baby born in a manger is a familiar one.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo. (Dec. 10, 2019) – Bills prefiled in the Missouri legislature would set the foundation to create a “gun rights sanctuary state” by banning state and local enforcement of most federal gun control. Passage into law would represent a major step toward ending federal acts that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms within the state in practice and effect.
