Should be mandatory reading for everyone, especially the Congress. Written By a Mr William N Grigg at Pro Libertate.

The opening salvo is a quote for Joseph Story, Chief Justice, that should turn your blood cold. To wit;     "[T]he majority has at all times a right to govern the minority, and to bind the latter to obedience to the will of the former.... In a general sense the will of the majority of the people is absolute and sovereign, limited only by its means and power to make its will effectual."

Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, III, 327, 330

Good Lord, the majority has a right at all times to govern the minority. Unequivocally?

Then this by Lenin;   "The scientific concept of dictatorship means nothing else but this — Power without limit, resting directly upon force, restrained by no laws, absolutely unrestrained by rules."

Vladimir Lenin

excerpt   

A constitution merely prolongs the pretense that a political government can be limited by laws that it will interpret. Eventually, every constitutional government will embrace Lenin's ruling formula -- "Power without limit, resting directly on force."

The function of the judiciary is liturgical: It transmutes the restrictive language of the constitution into a mandate for government action. This process is called "state-building" – and the purpose of the judiciary, insists Professor Jack M. Balkin of Yale Law School, is to "ratify significant revisions to the American social contract."

According to Balkin, "the most important function of the federal courts is to legitimate state building by the political branches." It does this by supplying the appropriate scholarly conjurations every time those in charge of the State seek to enrich their powers at the expense of individual liberty.

In this fashion, the relatively modest constitutional state of the early 19th century – which, Balkin notes with palpable disapproval, "didn't do very much more than national defense and customs collection" – built itself into the omnivorous monstrosity he calls the "National Surveillance State." This is an entity that claims the authority to slaughter, torture, and imprison anybody on the planet for any reason. From Balkin's perspective, the role of the courts is not to protect the rights of the individual, but to issue the occasional theodicy justifying the inscrutable ways of the divine State.

And so we have Dear Leader and his socialist/Leninist mob.

I've said this for years. It's a three-legged stool: the schools, the media, and the vast unelected administrative side of government. If we can cut off just one leg, the stool will topple... eventually. If we can take away two, it'll be a lot quicker. I say we go for all three, and watch the whole damn thing collapse into the dirt where it belongs.

Tee, the Dear Lady, as you call him, is the culmination of 150+ years of national government force.

Nope. Shooter had it right, although your take on the situation is pretty close. Dear Leader is using the FORCE of administrative government right now, not the farce. The farce is in the way it's presented to its victims and its so-called "beneficiaries."
