Amerika

America hovers in suspense over internal drama that has been overshadowed by the Iran turkey shoot.

In Congress, efforts are underway to have voter verification. Every other civilized nation has this, but in America we are discussing how diversity and women may be unable to have the right identification cards.

Before the Supreme Court, the question of birthright citizenship waddles through discussion. Despite clear evidence that the 14A was never intended to citizenize foreigners, the “equal protection” language implies a universal right to show up and demand the same rights as citizens.

What this is coming down to, painfully slowly but inevitably, is a collision between the Constitution 1776-1867 and the Constitution 1868-2026; the former, based upon “natural rights,” limits government while the latter, under “civil rights,” expands it.

If SCOTUS takes the path of least controversy, they will legalize birthright citizenship. This will be unfortunate at first and good in the long run because it will place conservative focus on repealing the 14A, Lincoln’s little Communist experiment.

This might be best in the long run because until we get rid of that “equal protection of the laws” verbiage, every law will be made into a civil rights law because otherwise, it will be found unconstitutional and removed by the courts.

Even more, we are going to have to have a discussion on “judicial review,” originally the doctrine — it seems to me — that courts would have a veto power on whole laws, but with Marbury v. Madison, it became the idea that courts could selectively re-write laws.

With judicial review and “equal protection” in effect, the courts are going to twist every law into an assertion of civil rights, and this will continue until the 14A is repealed.

We are seeing more broadly the problem with limited power, namely that it ties its own hands with precedent, which means that whichever party inserts a wide-reaching precedent will control the future. Lincoln’s progressives knew how to conquer America.

The 14A can be invalidated if we grow some balls because it was enforced through the threat of starvation. The defeated Confederate states needed to get back in the Union to have functional economies, but they had to sign the amendment first.

Even more, it can be repealed because we have seen that, in the long run, “civil rights” means that the bureaucracy takes over everything in the name of “our best interests” which leads to massive taxation which leads to people not reproducing, women in the workforce unable to bond, social isolation from the crisis of diversity, and other side effects of trying to keep the bureaucracy afloat despite its inability to do anything well or cheaply.

We are headed toward that crisis point one way or another. Total remigration is the moderate solution. Ending the socialist programs and taxes is a practical response. Reducing the role of government to military and a few other things is common sense.

In the name of defeating enemies, we contorted our own beliefs, and those precedents then bound us like chains, so now we are trying to find a path out of the chains not for “freedom” but simply for function in a dysfunctional dystopian world gone totally mad.
