Susan Lynn says: “Defending our nation from foreign invaders, serving justice through the courts and constructing an orderly monetary and bankruptcy system are enumerated powers in the Constitution.”

So who is going to enforce this as we have an unknown possible foreign invader in the White House, the courts refusing to serve justice because “We the People” and so far no one else has “standing” in the courts”, and the banking system can’t get much more distressed with out total collapse?!!?!?

What is our plan to get America back on track? How do we get our nation protected from foreign invaders, justice served through the courts, and our banking system back in order with voting corruption, radical Democrats in power, do-nothing Republicans, and a majority unwilling to vote them out of power?!!?

God have mercy on us all, because the above mentioned sure don’t!

Dear Ms. Representative Lynn,
That is a beautifully written understanding of America. You make me stand proud to be an American with words like these. I am really glad you are a Representative in elective office, after reading this I believe you have the quality of character and patriotism to have earned much respect for being true to representing those who voted for you. My hats off to you Madame.
How I love such clear logical description of the instruments and concepts of we as people and our Republican government.

Please write more.
Bravo!

I’m having this argument in the comments section of Jeff Scheribner’s article “On This Ron Paul is Wrong” on americasright.com. This article goes to the heart of our difficulty in allowing the Constitution function as designed. It appears a fatal flaw exists in conservative thinking that precludes the necessary faith in the absoluteness of the Constitution. When the Constitution was in the process of ratification by the states, some wanted various changes made prior to ratification. Madison insisted it could only be taken in toto forever. We profess to believe in strict adherence to the Constitution yet we seem to be incapable of relinquishing our little preferences to tweak it. It would appear “neocons” are as lacking in regard for the sanctity of our Constitution as liberals. The disagreement between liberals and conservatives is not whether or not to strictly abide by the Constitution, it is which parts to abide by.

I’ve had a difficult time coming to grips with this, especially regarding foreign entanglements, but I have yet to find a logical argument against the idea that the Constitution is an all or nothing proposition. This brief document seems to have some mystical absoluteness to it.

We easily accept the idea that one cannot be a little bit pregnant yet we have such difficulty accepting that one cannot be a little bit Constitutional.

We can be a free people under the Constitution but we cannot be a free people while being free of the Constitution “in toto forever”.

This is a beautifully written statement of American values, and Rep. Susan Lynn would have my vote if I lived in the geat musical state of Tennessee. NOT ALL in Congress should be cast out.
