text: In reply to message69571: “The Constitution was set aside during the Civil War and has never been in effect since” It is true that Lincoln and the rest of the government following his orders committed wholesale violations of the Constitution in the 1860s. However neither he nor it had any lawful powers but those granted to them by we-the-people in the Constitution, so all violations of the Constitution during that period (and every other) were criminal acts. There is no provision in our Constitution permitting it under any circumstances to be “set aside”. You can think it was, you can give up on asserting your rights, but there is no part of any legitimate law that requires it. No legalistic action can be required to undo what was never lawfully done.Of course, the serious and urgent question remains, how do we stop rmpant invasion of our rights under color of law by our paid servants? Simply, by recognizing that these invasions are merely criminal acts, and enforcing the appropriate laws aganst the people who commit them. HOW?The answer is found in our Constitution. It is part of the plan and process called Tactical Civics (www.tacticalcivics.com), specifically the process of Constitutional law-enforcement led by local Grand Juries supported by Constitutional militia. that I teach and discuss here and on my www.securetheserights.net web-site.
