THE CONSTITUTIONAL BURIAL

THE US CONSTITUTION, ANCHOR OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT

The US Constitution is the anchor of American government. The great freedoms, rights and protection afforded us in that magnificent document are believed by most Americans to be sacred and inspired. There will always be a threat to such a document. That threat can be overt and we can plainly see it happen or it can be a subtle threat which comes a day at a time. It is always the subtle threat that should concern us most. That will come through gradual special interest, special privilege and special distinctions of class that will challenge the very meaning of the constitution. Our two most cherished privileges, Equal protection of the laws and due process are constantly being redefined in the American judicial system.

THE CONSTITUTION DID NOT INTEND A RULING CLASS

When we examine the American Judicial system closely, we clearly see a dominant special privileged class evolving, taking away due process along the way. This privileged class dominates our entire justice system today with their own rules, laws and disciplines even if those rules contradict the due process clause of the US constitution. This dominant culture has laid the unequal and heavy hand of oppression upon the citizenry of this nation. We are faced with a real conflict between the contemporary lawyer meaning of "equity and justice" and the intent of "due process" under the US constitution.

THE US CONSTITUTION vs. CASE LAW RULINGS BY LAWYER JUDGES

It would probably be safe to say that not a day passes in this nation without scores of lawyer-judges making a ruling "case law" (the judges opinion based upon a prior judges opinion) which is in total conflict with the Bill of rights of the US constitution. Many of those case law rulings will conflict with the US XIV amendment. Any complaint of this nature, even on appeal will be dismissed with the time worn legal phrase of "judicial discretion." The constitution becomes more deeply buried each year under the landslide of thousands of these "case law" rulings in the state and federal district courts by lawyer-judges. It would be an economic and time impossibility for thousands of these rulings to ever reach the US Supreme Court to be tested upon the grounds of constitutionality. Only a fraction of cases involving the issue of civil rights violations could ever reach the US Supreme Court for a test.

REVIEW OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONFLICT WITH THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM

As we review our constitution, let us keep in mind the very reason for its existence. The constitution is a "people charter," designed by the people and for the protection of the people. It is also obvious the main thrust and intent of the constitution was to protect the people from any dominant ruling class, including the heavy hand of any government body.

The important consideration is the dominance of the highest court in the land with all lawyers. There is a strong argument against lawyer dominance in any area of our society and certainly in the highest echelons of government. We can now see that danger in the halls of the US Congress where lawyer dominance runs as high as 66% in the US Senate. It is highly probable that Congress could triple their efficiency and productivity without all the lawyers whose chief forte is wordy, time manipulation. This type of mindset is easily translated into thousands of new, unneeded, burdensome laws. Ultimately the most important law for American citizens is embedded in the US Constitution.

The Judicial system has all but buried the US Constitution with volumes of "case law" rulings which has in theory if not in fact become the law of the land. All Americans should stand fast by the US Constitution and insist upon legal reform of any segment of government that would abandon or violate the principles of that great document.

Consider this! We now have lawyers making the laws, lawyers judging us in the laws, lawyers defending us in the laws, lawyers interpreting the laws and lawyers administering the laws. What a constitutional conflict! Only legal justice reform can resurrect the US Constitution. It must begin with lawyer deregulation in the judicial branch of government and extend to ending lawyer monopoly in other branches of government.

SPECIAL MESSAGE TO THE READER

Next to God and family, nothing is more important to any American than the freedoms, liberties, rights and due process we are guaranteed under the US Constitution. Those freedoms, liberties, rights and due process are slipping away and it is time for all Americans to stand fast by the constitution. What can you do?
