Sun Journal Letter to the Editor: Supremes, by Jeff Lewis

December 17, 2011
George Orwell has been credited with saying, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is revolutionary.”

Those for and against ObamaCare, and those for and against state-based immigration laws such as Arizona’s SB-1070 shouldn’t be too joyful in the U.S. Supreme Courts’ decision to hear those cases on appeal.

According to the “supreme” Law of the Land, the U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 2, Clause 2, ALL of those cases should have been heard in the Supreme Court under the “original jurisdiction” mandate.

Instead, they are being heard in “inferior” federal courts by judges who had no Constitutional authority to hear or rule on them.

The sovereign States in the Union were never supposed to have to go to the federal courts on bended knee. Millions of taxpayer dollars have been squandered playing the game, and the Rights of the People continue to be in peril from our own government.

Alexander Hamilton spoke directly to this issue in Federalist 81. We cannot restore Constitutional governance by ignoring the Constitution.
