Not sure if Whitehead was as concerned about inviolate Constitutional rights when the COVID measures were enacted, or when conservative voices were silenced by the Big Tech/government partnership. That doesn’t mean he’s wrong about birthright citizenship, it just means he may be inconsistent. From John Whitehead at rutherford.org:
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear… If the Bill of Rights were to be broken down, all groups, even the most conservative, would be in danger from the arbitrary power of government.”—President Harry S. Truman (August 8, 1950)
Let us be very clear.
The Constitution is not a suggestion or a negotiating tactic. It is not optional.
Government officials do not get to pick and choose which laws they will obey.
The Constitution is the supreme law of the land: a binding contract between “we the people” of the United States and those we hire to govern. It spells out our expectations for transparency and accountability, limits the government’s authority, affirms the purpose of government as protecter of liberty and property, and reinforces that we are the masters and government agents are the servants.
Thus, any decision by a government official to suspend the rights enshrined in the Constitution should not be undertaken lightly or for political gain or expedience, nor can it be done without following the strict parameters laid out by its creators and the courts.
Bottom line: any attempt to unilaterally override any aspect of the Constitution should alarm every American, regardless of party affiliation.
Which brings us to the Trump Administration’s ongoing attempts to weaponize concerns about national security in order to wage war on the rights enshrined in the Constitution.
We have been inundated with executive orders issued by President Trump purporting to protect national security interests by gutting free speech, eroding equal rights protections, sidestepping the separation of powers, and pushing us ever closer to martial law and outright dictatorship.
Behind the façade of national security lies a more insidious threat: a permanent shadow government—the Deep State—using every “emergency” to tighten its grip and expand unchecked executive authority.
Trump’s most effective ploy to seize power has been his use of illegal immigration to stoke fear and chill dissent. He has used it as a justification to do away with due process, expand the police state, deepen military involvement in domestic policing, and intimidate the nation into compliance.
Even his bid to unilaterally end birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants is just another Trojan horse masquerading as a concern for national security.
Is that why Brandon let in 20 million to make citizenship worthless?
So cute the belief in Magic Soil and plug in any group and keep on rolling.
Moscow by spring, Beijing by summer.
Honk, honk.
The Whitehead’s are useless idiots.
“The Constitution is the supreme law of the land: a binding contract between “we the people” of the United States and those we hire to govern. It spells out our expectations for transparency and accountability, limits the government’s authority, affirms the purpose of government as protecter of liberty and property, and reinforces that we are the masters and government agents are the servants.”
Please tell me in what way the US government (not an individual president) has NOT violated the above quote.
