Property Rights are Sacred
The principle of reasonable use of
property is enshrined as one of the
great trinity of rights acknowledged in
both the Fifth and Fourteenth
Amendments, on par with life and
liberty. Property and one’s home are
explicitly protected in the Third,
Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth
Amendments, and impliedly in the
penumbra of the First, Second, Ninth,
and Tenth Amendments. See U.S. Const.
amend. III (“No Soldier shall, in time
of peace be quartered in any house,
without the consent of the Owner, nor in
time of war, but in a manner to be
prescribed by law.”); U.S. Const. amend.
IV (“The right of the people to be
secure in their persons, houses, papers,
and effects, against unreasonable
searches and seizures, shall not be
violated . . .”); U.S. Const. amend. V
(“nor be deprived of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law;
nor shall private property be taken for
public use, without just
compensation.”); U.S. Const. amend. XIV
(“nor shall any State deprive any person
of life, liberty, or property, without
due process of law.”); Lawrence v.
Texas, 539 U.S. 558, 562 (2003)
(“Liberty protects the person from
unwarranted government intrusions into a
dwelling or other private places. In our
tradition the State is not omnipresent
in the home.”); Lucas v. South Carolina
Coastal Council, 505 U.S. 1003, 1016
(1992) (right to use property for
non-noxious uses is a fundamental
“stick” in the property rights bundle).

Primary or
Election?
The Primary Elections are right around
the corner, but if you are registered
anything other than the two Big Box
Parties you are denied your Right of
suffrage. One must realize that there
are two components of the electoral
process that take place. First, is the
right for
all
citizens
to vote in the elections as per the
Constitution for the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, Article 1, Section 5.
Currently, not
all
citizens registered to vote are allowed
to participate in
all
elections. If you are registered as a
Democrat or Republican, this concept
will first seem a little foreign to
you.

It’s
un-constitutional to “prevent the free
exercise of the right of suffrage.”
Today our
legislators have violated the contract with
the people known as the Constitution for the
United States and the Constitution for the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. All of our
legislators have gone to great lengths to
keep anybody but Democrats and Republicans
off the ballots and show no shame in doing
so, even at the expense of violating what
they swore to uphold.

Politicians
Denying the Right to Keep and Bear
Arms!
Evidence of an Individual Right
Another jurist contemporaneous to the Founders, William Rawle, authored "A
View of the Constitution of the United States of America" (1829). His work was adopted as a constitutional law textbook at West
Point and other institutions. In
Chapter 10 he describes the scope of the Second Amendment's right to
keep and bear arms:
The prohibition is general. No clause in the constitution could by any
rule of construction be conceived to give congress a power to disarm the
people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general
pretence by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate
power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a
restraint on both.
This is another quote where it is obvious that "the people" refers to
individuals since Rawle writes neither the states nor the national government
has legitimate authority to disarm its citizens. This passage also makes it
clear ("the prohibition is general") that the militia clause was not intended to
restrict the scope of the right.

Constitutional
Checks and Balances on Government Have
Been Neglected
The Checks and
Balances or Separation of Powers devised
by the framers of the Constitution were
designed to prevent the majority from
trampling the Rights of the minority
and, to prevent government from usurping
its Constitutionally Delegated
Authority. Based on their experience,
the framers shied away from giving any
branch of the new government too much
power. The separation of powers provides
a system of shared power known as Checks
and Balances.
No one branch, in theory,
can overpower the others or the state
governments because of the series of
checks and balances created in the
Constitution. Every branch has the power
to check the actions of another.
Under this system, it is almost
impossible for one person to gain too
much power.
