Barack Obama, as the Republicans gave in to the leftist agenda and passed the Senate Budget Bill, which included raising the debt ceiling, called that government shutdown, and the attempt to defund Obamacare, a "spectacle." It was an embarrassment to the world, he said. Because a constitutional republic like ours is an exception to the rule, and he is embarrassed by it. However, what he battles are constitutional checks and balances put in place by the founders, and those that fashioned the Civil War Amendments. These people put these constitutional provisions into place to protect us from tyranny. What Obama calls obstructionism by Congress, the founders called The People's Voice, and a healthy separation of powers.
The Constitutional Convention, and the Congressional debates over the Civil War Amendments, were not exactly peaceful walks through the park. In fact, the Civil War Amendments were ratified under duress!
In the Temecula Constitution Class we have spent the last few weeks on Amendments 13-15, and I admit we have been on these amendments longer than I expected. . . but there are so many parallels to today's battles between Congress, and a progressive president that believes he has powers the Constitution never granted.
Tonight, at 6:30, at Faith Armory on Winchester Road just west of Jefferson in Temecula, we wrap up the Civil War Amendments.
Join us.
