New Google/Blogger crap SUX

Finally ran the gamut of the new Google hurdles imposed on Blogger, and after pages and pages of generated errors, I'm finally able to access my Blogger blog again.

Blogger couldn't have made a bigger mistake. BLEAH.

Man--I didn't think I'd be able to blog here again because Google kept telling me that my email account was invalid and that my Blogspot URL was invalid.

Anyhoo, this is a brief note to mention that another Blogspot blog worth looking at (for radio hobbyists) is Arnie Coro's:

WHEREAS:
The Congress has powers over foreign affairs under Article 1 Section 8 part 10;

WHEREAS:
Article 1 Section 8 Part 10 reads
"The Congress shall have Power...To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations" and is reinforced by Article 1 Section 8 Part 3;

WHEREAS:
Article 1 Section 8 Part 16 reads
"The Congress shall have Power...To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress" and is reinforced by Article 1 Section 8 Parts 11 thru 15;

IT IS INCONCEIVABLE TO ALLOW UNINDICTED FELONS TO CONTINUE TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES; THE LAW IS THE LAW. Republicans that fail to recognize the laws of the United States aid and abet felons in the commission of their felonies and should be indicted on such grounds themselves.

"A law repugnant to the Constitution is void." --Justice John Marshall, in Marbury v. Madison

Let's face it--Conservatives are communists.

When there's unpaid or low paid labor, the corporation loses its customer base. The providers of labor are also where the demand comes from, in that supply/demand equation.

Therefore it follows that cheap labor is NOT capitalism. When the corporation doesn't pay a wage a person can live on, the corporation expects the state to support the worker by entitlements, and work done for the corporation is more for the privilege of being "productive" and only for the benefit of the corporate collective, since it is NOT for actual fair compensation for work performed.

That's not capitalism--that's communism.

Never A Strict Constructionist Or States' Rights Crusader When Ya Need One

I find it most incredible that Bush Appologists are claiming commander-in-chief powers to legitimize warrantless wiretapping of U.S. citizens who are governed by the supreme law of our land, the U. S. Constitution. Unless the NSA is a department of the Pentagon, it doesn't rise to the militia stanards required by Article 2 Section 2.

Of course Dubya might not have lied to the nation--because he might have been advised to do so. More than just Dubya is complicit in these felonies.

For instance, in order for a piece of legislation to claim any kind of War Power from any War Power Act, it would have to have usurped the power granted only to the Judiciary to interpret the Constitution for itself. No piece of legislation or resolution has the power to alter or edit or eliminate any portion of the U.S. Constitution for that would be a violation of Article 5.

This also means that no judge has the power to alter or edit or eliminate any portion of the U.S. Constitution either, by rendering an "interpretation" favorable to the person who appointed him. That, too, is a violation of Article 5, which is the only way to alter, edit, or eliminate any portion of the U.S. Constitution.

No power of any office in the United States is expandable by judicial "interpretation", in fact. That is prohibited by the 10th Amendment, which states that the only powers even the president has are express powers only, as specifically granted by the U.S. Constitution, and all other powers are reserved for the States and the people.

The 10th Amendment argument is what States' Rights conservatives always thump, like the NRA always thumps the 2nd Amendment. Where did all these people disappear to? Can't find hide nor hair of a single one of 'em these days.

The U. S. Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land--Legislation is to comply to it; it is not to comply to Legislation. Further, Judicial rulings are to comply to it--it is not to comply to Judicial rulings.

Am I surprised? Not only no, but HELL NO.

Gonzales Should Be FIRED.

Alberto "Tortured Logic" Gonzales just issued his legal opinion that Congress enabled the president to conduct warrantless wiretaps as if Congress can change the 4th Amendment of the Constitution without first the Constitutionally required process of amending the Constitution first.

No legislation can change the Constitution or its amendments. Only a Constitution Amendment can make the 4th Amendment go away.
