You're right, Gip! Nevertheless, I urge you to maintain faith in our Constitution and your vocal and actional support of it. We must never accept it as "irrelevant". "Silence" and "Inaction" against wrongful actions infers our approval of those actions.

 

There's a near-term issue that may well arise which would demand our faith in the Constitution, and would demand our actions in support of it. We're hearing now that Obama may impose some gun-control "laws" using Executive Order. Executive Orders have been issued by both Democrat and Republican Presidents, and have usually (but not universally) been upheld in our courts. The difference between most of those prior Executive Orders and the potential Order by Obama is this:

 

NO Executive Order is lawful if it exceeds the Constitutionally-authorized powers of the Executive!! If Obama was allowed to do so, and if his action was later upheld by the Supreme Court, an Executive Order outlawing media criticism of the President could be issued and upheld as well. I urge all gun-owning members here to disobey any unConstitutional Executive Order issued by this President or by any other President, regardless of party!
