b'Your Constitutional RightsBy Randy MillerDirector of the Constitutional Sheriffsand Peace Officers Association for ArizonaR egarding the CDCs moratorium against evictions, this is a perfect example of why the people must understand our constitutions and pay attention to all branches of the federal/general government. An article was addressing the bantering back and forth between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Joe Biden. This statement is a huge issue that thestates failed us by not interceding on behalf of the people.Kudos to Governor DeSantisfor his stance.Governor DeSantis said, Biden\'s even forgotten about the Constitution itselfas we saw with what he did with this moratorium."Then, the author of the article stated, The moratorium to which he referred was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\'s extending the ban on rental evictions, despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling it could be done constitutionally only through legislation in Congress.I didnt find a SCOTUS opinion on the CDC and the moratorium, but there are two lower court opinions. I respectfully disagree with this opinion on several constitutional grounds.First, Congress doesnt have legislative authority over the property of the people.Federal authority is limited to what is enumerated under Article I, Section 8.Additionally, Congress cannot delegate lawmaking authority to the executive branch; this violates Article I, Section I, and the separation of powers. Please show me an authority for the fourth branch of government called the Administrative Branch with their own law-making authority and courts to adjudicate their administrative law.NO such thing.No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law as stated in the Fifth Amendment.Our homes and rental properties are not under their legislative jurisdiction.Our founders were keenly aware of the importance of contracts and agreements made between the people.It was specifically prohibited for the states to enact law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, (Article 1, Section 10, Clause 1) and the power to do so was not a grant to Congress.It was the states that created the general government with limited specific functions to10% OFFmaintain harmony and peace among the states and to maintain the Union.Laws made must conform to the Constitution. In Marbury v Madison, 1803, Chief Justice John Marshall said any law repugnant to the Constitution is null and void.Additionally, in New York v United States, 1992, the court held in agreement to the Constitution, that The federal government, we held, may not compel the states to enact or administer a federal regulatory program. Yet, despite previous court cases in support of the Constitution, we now have federalANY REGULAR PRICED ITEMcourts believing that the general government has a magic wand in times of self-declared emergencies that suspends state sovereignty and the peoples rights that the Constitution was specifically designed to protect.There are no exceptions to the protection of our rights. Excludes Tools & Equipment.The appellate court opinions are all based on federal statutes and no constitutional basis Mention Arizona Real Country Magazine.to support these laws was attempted. In fact, the court specifically cites HR133 as continuing the No Eviction Mandate, which was signed into law, and 42 U.S.C. 264(a). Ever wonder how our courts are systematically destroying the original intent of our Constitution?Its because the people dont know it, have lost interest, and have taken our rights and liberties for granted.We have some great justices on the bench; I dont mean to categorize them all.Justice Clarence Thomas is an originalist as was Justice Antonin Scalia. I admire and respect them both. However, it is my opinion; there is a long history of arrogance and activism on the bench that has assisted in the usurpation of power from the states to the general government by assisting the incompetence and deliberate attacks on it in Congress.Ill leave you with a couple of quotes: In the 1920s, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes explained why God-given rights are no longer secure.He said, We are under aconstitution, but the Constitution is what we say it is.Roscoe Pound was the Director of Harvard Law School from 1916 to 1936, influencing thousands of future judges, law professors, and attorneys. In his book Pound, Law, and Morals, published in 1924, on page 14 he said, The state is the unchallengeable authority behind legal precepts.The state takes the place of Jehovah handing down the tables ofthe law to Moses.In 2004 during a television special, The Coral Ridge Television Ministry, Judge RobertBork said, The Constitution is being rewritten by judges.Source for quotes: Book, Betrayed by the Bench, How Judge-made Law Has Transformed Americas Constitution, Courts, and Culture.
