U.S. Supreme Court's 1968 Haynes v. U.S. decision: Haynes, a convicted felon, was convicted of unlawful possession of an unregistered short-barreled shotgun. He argued that for a convicted felon to register a gun waseffectively an announcement to the government that he was breaking the law and that registration violated his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. The court, by an 8 - 1 margin, agreed, concluding: "We hold that a proper claim of the constitutional privilege against self-incrimination provides a full defense to prosecutions either for failure to register a firearm, or for possession of an unregistered firearm."
(Summary from American Rifleman magazine, March 2000, page 20) So, when these gun registration schemes are announced, be very aware that only lawful gun-owners are required to register their firearms. Unlawfulowners are exempted from registration laws due to their constitutional protection against self-incrimination. Amazing….. but true.

KEEP AN EYE ON SCOTUS - EITHER THEY RULE BY U.S. CONSTITUTION OR...????
Submitted by: Nancy Battle
Rep. Steve King of Iowa said: "Constitutionally, Congress can reduce the judiciary to nothing more than Chief Justice Roberts, sitting at a card table with a candle"
Now that’s why if Congress passes a law and we the people think it’s wrong, we can throw them out of Congress and change the law. We’re the sovereign; we get the final word on whether the law’s any good or not. But if you put it over to the judges, they pass a ruling and say well, we determine this law is not a good law, what recourse is there from that? You wait another 70 years until you get a new court and get a different decision? No. At that point, the judiciary has become your sovereign. That’s exactly what John Marshall pointed out. Thomas Jefferson agreed emphatically.
Jefferson said, “The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not would make the judiciary a despotic branch.” He said the Constitution on this hypothesis is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please. He said guys, if you’re going to say that the judges have the right to decide what’s constitutional and what’s not, not only does that make the judiciary a despotic branch, it makes the Constitution like something of wax that they can twist and shape into any form they please.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL NLRB CONTINUES TO FIGHT OUR OWN LEGAL SYSTEM!
Dear Conservatives,
The next big showdown at the United States Supreme Court is just around the corner -- and your National Right to Work Foundation is right in the thick of it.
In January a federal appeals court relied on arguments made by Foundation staff attorneys -- who filed an amicus brief on behalf of four workers with cases pending before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) -- and stuck down Barack Obama's "recess" appointments to the Board as unconstitutional.
Next, Foundation attorneys asked the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to enforce its decision and make the illegitimate NLRB cease and desist, and the Court has already ordered the NLRB to file a response to justify its continued operation.
Meanwhile, another Foundation-assisted challenge is pending in a different federal circuit.
And now the Obama Labor Board announced it will appeal the D.C. Circuit's opinion to the High Court.

WRITE SCOTUS TELLING IT THAT 'CRIMINALITY MUST NOT GO UNPUNISHED'
Submitted by: Lady Byrd
Breaking news! Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts schedules a case by Attorney Taitz regarding Obama’s forged IDs to be heard in conference before the full Supreme Court
Press release!
Law offices of Orly Taitz
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States John Roberts scheduled a case by attorney Orly Taitz dealing with Barack Hussein Obama’s use of forged IDs to be heard in conference before the full Supreme Court.
The case titled Noonan, Judd, MacLeran, Taitz v Bowen provides a mountain of evidence of Barack Obama using a last name not legally his, forged Selective Service application, forged long form and short form birth certificate and a Connecticut Social Security number 042-68-4425 which was never assigned to him according to E-Verify and SSNVS. Additionally, this case provides evidence of around one and a half million invalid voter registrations in the state of California alone.

OBAMACARE DESTRUCTIVE TO AMERICA AND IS SHAMEFUL
Employers, Doctors, Obamacare and US Supreme Court Cases
Neither the U.S. Congress or one of their unconstitutional cabinets has any authority to steal the fruits of my labor and increase my private health care insurance premium by any amount of dollars to subsidize people with pre-existing conditions or any condition for that matter. Involuntary servitude means: "Two essential elements of involuntary servitude are involuntariness, which is compulsion to act against one's will, and servitude, which is some form of labor for another.".....

ROUND 2 - OBAMACARE BEFORE SCOTUS AGIAIN!
Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel
I have TWO important developments I must tell you about. You may have already heard about the FIRST item on the news today, since it has been headlining on Fox News, World Net Daily, Politico, the Drudge Report, and many other media outlets…the U.S. Supreme Court granted Liberty Counsel’s Petition for Rehearing in the ObamaCare case of Liberty University et al v. Geithner!
The Supreme Court’s ruling says that Liberty Counsel’s “Day in Court” against ObamaCare is far from over! We will be sharing much more about this God-given opportunity to stop ObamaCare in the courts in coming days.
SECOND, today my team and I are intensely preparing for a major lawsuit challenging the latest outrageous legislation to come from California – a new law which actually forbids counselors from helping clients overcome sexual identity confusion or same-sex attractions! I will be in court on Friday for that landmark case.
We urgently need your prayers – and our nation needs your prayers – that BOTH of these landmark pieces of litigation continue to enjoy God’s favor and ultimate success. Please see my very important update below – Mat. |

OBAMA'S 2ND TERM BODES DISASTER FOR AMERICA
Submitted by: Diane Ward
Obama's Second Term Transformation Plans
The 2012 election has often been described as the most pivotal since 1860. This statement is not hyperbole. If Barack Obama is re-elected the United States will never be the same, nor will it be able to re-capture its once lofty status as the most dominant nation in the history of mankind.
The overwhelming majority of Americans do not understand that Obama's first term was dedicated to putting in place executive power to enable him and the administration to fulfill the campaign promise of "transforming America " in his second term regardless of which political party controls Congress. That is why his re-election team is virtually ignoring the plight of incumbent or prospective Democratic Party office holders.
The most significant accomplishment of Obama's first term was to make Congress irrelevant. Under the myopic and blindly loyal leadership of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats have succeeded in creating an imperial and, in a second term, a potential dictatorial presidency.
During the first two years of the Obama administration when the Democrats overwhelming controlled both Houses of Congress and the media was in an Obama worshipping stupor, a myriad of laws were passed and actions taken which transferred virtually unlimited power to the executive branch .

FREEDOM"S LIGHT DIMS UNDER OBAMA
"The Light of Freedom, The Inverse Square Law
and the Glimmer Man!"
from - The Parallax Prophecies -

We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

The farther you get from a source of light, the dimmer the light becomes. In fact there is a law in physics called the Inverse Square Law that says when you double the distance from a light source, the light is dimmed by 4 times. The dawn of the bright "light" of freedom occurred some 221 years ago when the Constitution was ratified by the 13 colonies. Four presidential terms later, after freedom's light was lit, according to the Inverse Square Law, freedom's light was 16 times dimmer. But freedom's light started to grow dimmer even before the fourth presidential term. The second president of the United States, John Adams, one of the drafters of the U. S. Constitution, passed the "Aliens and Sedition Act" that was so contrary to constitutional principles that Adams might just as well have set fire to the constitution right then and there. When Jefferson became president he had the law repealed, but by then the cat was out of the bag and breaking the Constitution got just a little easier.

Conservatives,
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court opened its new term and immediately directed the Department of Justice to respond to the question of why Liberty Counsel’s case against ObamaCare should not be reheard by a federal appeals court.
The High Court directed the federal government to respond to our Petition for Rehearing within 30 days.

DEMAND THAT SCOTUS REMOVE KAGAN FROM VOTING ON OBAMACARE
Is Supreme Court illegitimate on ObamaCare?
From the Desk of: Steve Elliott, Grassfire Nation Important Update on the petition you signed calling for Kagan's Recusal. See below. Conservatives, As it stands now, the Supreme Court's ObamaCare decision will be legally illegitimate because one of its members is not qualified to participate in the decision. I'm talking of course about Elena Kagan -- Obama's former Solicitor General who wholeheartedly supported the passage of ObamaCare and oversaw the development of the legal strategy to defend the law in court. |

SIGN PETITION TO SCOTUS - DECLARE OBAMACARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Dear Freedom Fighter,
Americans for Prosperity has been a leader on the issue of healthcare reform since 2008. We're working to show how the individual mandate is unconstitutional, and we believe the entire health care law must be struck down.
Later on this month, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider the constitutionality of several parts of the President's wildly unpopular health care package. While the President and his allies managed to force this health care package on the American people two years ago, now we have a chance to get it overturned with your help.
Americans for Prosperity has been a leader on the issue of healthcare reform since 2008. We're working to show how the individual mandate is unconstitutional, and we believe the entire health care law must be struck down.That's why we're making sure all of Washington knows we oppose the unconstitutional affront to our health care freedoms. On March 27, we're going to hold a rally opposing the health care bill, and present the Supreme Court with a statement, signed by thousands of patriotic Americans, asking the court to strike down this unconstitutional bill. We need your help to send a message to Washington.
Will you sign our statement, asking the Court to strike down this unconstitutional threat to our health care freedoms?

DEMAND THAT KAGAN EITHER RECUSE HERSELF OR BE REMOVED FROM SCOTUS - Section 28 U.S.C. 455
Excerpt from Life and Liberty PAC
BY LAW KAGAN MUST RECUSE HERSELF
The law, (Section 28 U.S.C. 455) clearly states that a justice "shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might be reasonably questioned" or "(w)here he has served in governmental employment and in such capacity participated as counsel, adviser or material witness concerning the proceedings…"
Kagan and the DOJ, by claiming attorney client privilege in hiding ObamaCare emails, have inadvertently proven the case for her recusal. She clearly provided legal counsel for the defense of ObamaCare, yet she expects to now rule as a Supreme Court Justice on its Constitutionality.
