Way PAST Time
“The American Revolution was not a common event. Its effects and consequences have already been awful over a great part of the globe. And when and where are they to cease? But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. While the king, and all in authority under him, were believed to govern in justice and mercy, according to the laws and constitution derived to them from the God of nature and transmitted to them by their ancestors, they thought themselves bound to pray for the king and queen and all the royal family, and all in authority under them, as ministers ordained of God for their good; but when they saw those powers renouncing all the principles of authority, and bent upon the destruction of all the securities of their lives, liberties, and properties, they thought it their duty to pray for the continental congress and all the thirteen State congresses. There might be, and there were others who thought less about religion and conscience, but had certain habitual sentiments of allegiance and loyalty derived from their education; but believing allegiance and protection to be reciprocal, when protection was withdrawn, they thought allegiance was dissolved. Another alteration was common to all. The people of America had been educated in an habitual affection for England, as their mother country; and while they thought her a kind and tender parent, (erroneously enough, however, for she never was such a mother,) no affection could be more sincere. But when they found her a cruel beldam, willing like Lady Macbeth, to “dash their brains out,” it is no wonder if their filial affections ceased, and were changed into indignation and horror."We begin by stating the obvious. The Occupational Safety and Health Act, which created OSHA, was enacted by Congress to assure Americans “safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resources.” It was not—and likely could not be, under the Commerce Clause and nondelegation doctrine—intended to authorize a workplace safety administration in the deep recesses of the federal bureaucracy to make sweeping pronouncements on matters of public health affecting every member of society in the profoundest of ways….
On the dubious assumption that the Mandate does pass constitutional muster—which we need not decide today—it is nonetheless fatally flawed on its own terms. Indeed, the Mandate’s strained prescriptions combine to make it the rare government pronouncement that is both overinclusive (applying to employers and employees in virtually all industries and workplaces in America, with little attempt to account for the obvious differences between the risks facing, say, a security guard on a lonely night shift, and a meatpacker working shoulder to shoulder in a cramped warehouse) and underinclusive (purporting to save employees with 99 or more coworkers from a “grave danger” in the workplace, while making no attempt to shield employees with 98 or fewer coworkers from the very same threat). The Mandate’s stated impetus—a purported “emergency” that the entire globe has now endured for nearly two years, and which OSHA itself spent nearly two months responding to—is unavailing as well. And its promulgation grossly exceeds OSHA’s statutory authority.
For similar reasons, a stay is firmly in the public interest. From economic uncertainty to workplace strife, the mere specter of the Mandate has contributed to untold economic upheaval in recent months. Of course, the principles at stake when it comes to the Mandate are not reducible to dollars and cents. The public interest is also served by maintaining our constitutional structure and maintaining the liberty of individuals to make intensely personal decisions according to their own convictions—even, or perhaps particularly, when those decisions frustrate government official…
There is no clear expression of congressional intent in § 655(c) to convey OSHA such broad authority, and this court will not infer one. Nor can the Article II executive breathe new power into OSHA’s authority—NO MATTER HOW THIN PATIENCE WEARS.”
Here, the court invokes the legal doctrine known as "Let's Go Brandon!".
Will the Ruling Junta comply?
Thus far, the Democrat Regime has viewed Americans, particularly the majority Trump supporters, the same way as Democrats viewed runaway slaves in 1857: "The black man has no rights we are bound to respect."
That court decision ratified a tyranny and plunged the nation into Civil War. This court decision stands almost alone in thwarting the current tyranny.
The Occupation Cabal is untethered from legality because it is untethered from morality. Once you jettison the foundation, the Consent of the Governed, all other tyrannies are permissible.
However, they maintain the thinnest of pretensions to the law in order to forestall a revolution. When they sever that cord completely, they know others will be compelled to respond. The façade must be maintained in order to foist even more evil on the nation.
Our Founders had a revolution. Last Nov. 3rd, the Uni-Party Syndicate conducted a counter-revolution to our Founding, severing the government from the Consent of the Governed. A restoration would therefore be a counter-counter-revolution. It would not be an “overthrow”, as the government has already been overthrown.
I’m not advocating for a revolution. I know what happens. But I’m not running from it, either. I’m advocating for the revolution we already had. But as John F. Kennedy put it, “…Those who possess wealth and power…must accept their own responsibilities. They must lead the fight for those basic reforms which alone can preserve the fabric of their own societies. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”—Actual Pres. John F. Kennedy, to Latin American diplomats, March 13, 1962
Corporate and State power are now so incestuously joined as to make Mussolini flush with envy. Those are your revolutionaries.
I think it is just a matter of time before they drop the last pretenses and go full-Totalitarian.
That, we will not abide. We’re Americans.

"matter of time before they drop the last pretenses and go full-Totalitarian"
ReplyDeleteWonder what pretenses are remaining. Already there is no rule of law.
