Weekly Newspaper Column for 11/1/23

 It's Constitutional Watson Part 5


Returning to the series on the constitution and focusing on areas that perhaps are being challenged by some in the government, let me say again that I don't claim to be a constitutional scholar. The concern is that many, especially the younger generation, is not being taught about this important document and how it relates to what's going on in our country. Again, a Patriot is someone that loves his country and is willing to take a stand against the government if and when necessary. Let's look at a couple more clauses:


Article I Section 8 Clause 5 says "The Congress shall have Power To...coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures." Compare that to Section 10 that says "No State shall...coin Money...make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts..." I have discussions with people about the constitution and issues affecting it, often. While I don't claim to have all the answers, we better have the conversations. I welcome your input as well. As one person reminded me of just days before writing this, "the document doesn't enforce these things, we have to enforce it." The federal government has been and continues to try to get away with as much constitutional violations as they can. We MUST hold them to it. As it pertains to this coinage language, what can we gather from it? One, that Congress has the power to coin money. Remember, coin comes from the US Mint- a government agency. Cash comes from the Federal Reserve- a banking entity with some government officials on the Board.. Two, States can't coin money except for silver and gold coin to pay debts. States- our State- need to use this language to keep from fully going to digital currency. Since the Federal Government is destroying our economy and country, the only other alternative would be for States with enough guts, to secede from the Union so they can legally have their own money for the citizens. The idea that most elected officials think we should just go down with the US sinking ship is abhorrent! If we don't somehow someway make our State officials do something, that's likely what'll happen.


Article 6 Clause 2 says: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding." This is commonly known as the "supremacy clause" and unfortunately is wrongly thought by too many people, especially leftists or liberals, that States can't have nullification laws of federal unconstitutional actions. States can't nullify the federal constitution or laws that aren't against it, but it can and indeed better nullify all federal unconstitutional actions.


I had another Patriot Service about 2 weeks ago. You can watch it through one of the ways listed below. Going forward, it will be monthly online. A time of patriotism, encouragement and information. I think it would be good and wise to return to doing them in person locally. See ya next time God willing.
