Californian's, Watch Out For What You Wish For

Dear Patriots:

At the risk of being a buzz kill, let me interject a dose of reality in light of yesterday's Ninth District decision...

While we applaud the decision as a victory toward gun rights, I also see it as a federal smack down of state police power.  Remember the constitution was intended to limit FEDERAL power, and while Article III empowers the Federal Judiciary to hear cases and controversies arising involving the Constitution, where does this leave the states and their powers to police themselves granted under the Tenth Amendment?

We are all outraged when Federal judge invalidates down a law we like, one that was voted into existence, or written by a state's legislature. We argue that the will of the people cannot be abrogated with the stroke of a judicial pen, often by an unelected official who is a flunky of the politician who appointed him or her.  Proposition 8 in California comes to mind, as does the anti-Sharia law in Oklahoma.

So while the Bill of Rights should not be seen as subject to the whim of the states, remember, this blade cuts both ways. The decision paves the way for SCOTUS review.  Given what happened with Justice Roberts in upholding and redefining the Affordable Care Act, can we realistically expect a decision to uphold our Second Amendment rights?  The ACA ruling is likely explained by the revelations of Edward Snowden, so what do you think will happen when our Second Amendment rights are subjected to judicial scrutiny by a court stacked by, or controlled by, thanks to NSA spying, the current rouge regime?

If this nation is to be saved, the states MUST somehow manage to restore the power the Founding Fathers took painstaking efforts to guarantee them.  If you do not agree with the laws of your state, vote with your feet, move to one that governs itself in a manner that works with your ideals.  The same works for liberals, please stay in your bastions of insanity and stay the heck out of states like mine; I voted with my feet and left California last year.  This decision runs contrary to their intent and ultimately is a victory for the Federal Government, not We the People.

Celebrate the ruling possibly as a glimmer of hope that there are some sane judges in the People's Republik of Kaliforna while you can, because I fear it may ultimately be a paving of the way for the federal government to further weaken if not abrogate our second amendment right.

I shall now go hide in my corner after pissing on everyone's Cheerios...

Can Edward Snowden Bring Down Obama Administration?

Snowden Bombshell

Patriots,

Read the attached story and draw your own conclusions. As I read it the NSA is running the Federal government. Their data gathering makes J. Edgar Hoover look like a Boy Scout. The article makes me think of an octopus with the NSA being the head and the tentacles being the FBI, CIA, EPA, IRS, DHS and every Federal agency that collects data. Der Fuhrer, aka Obama wants the sheeple to believe it is all very innocent and benign. That is not Edward Snowden's take on it. American's have been asleep while the NSA has grown in power. In the interest of fairness, it was grabbing power prior to Der Fuhrer seizing power by manipulating low information voters. But, he has fine tuned it to an art form.

Ask yourself why Snowden fears for his life. Ask why he selected Russia as a place to seek asylum. Being convicted of treason is not his primary concern, staying alive is. This has all the makings of a Tom Clancy novel except this is real life or real death, depending on how you see it. Many Americans are running around taking their shoes off at airports and not being allowed to take tooth paste to Russia, submitting to invasive body scans when the real threat is right here in the good old USA.

Elected officials on both sides of the aisle have been neutered. Do you think the 'meta data' gathered by the NSA on elected officials and Judges has not been used to affect court decisions? Ever wonder why Chief Justice Roberts did a 180, twisted himself into a pretzel to decide that ACA, aka as Obamacare was Constitutional? Think someone did not place a severed horses head in his bed? Think again. Roberts was compromised. Better to go down in judicial history as a poor Chief Justice than have your character destroyed or perhaps have a tragic 'accident' cut short your life or that of someone near and dear to you. Writer has extensive experience investigating corruption at all levels and the average sheeple do not have a clue as to the pervasive corruption that compromises virtually all aspects of their daily lives.

When I first read the referenced article I said 'oh shit' three times. I rarely say that more than twice. I was that shocked and concerned. Let's see how many times you say 'oh shit' after you read the article.
