Preservation of the CONstitution

To the Editor:
August 2000 issue of Media Bypass

In the Letter from the Publisher in the June issue, Jim Thomas brought
reality to Media Bypass readers.

If those who missed the article would make it their business to read
the publisher's letter, they would not be too anxious to agree with
their forefathers that Washington, Lincoln, Franklin, Roosevelt and
Truman were the great presidents. On the contrary, the above would
probably qualify as the biggest losers.

The Act of Congress that created the Supreme and inferior courts,
established the Office of Attorney General and also the persons to act
as Attorneys for the United States - prosecutors - was in reality, 35
sections of Amendments to the Constitution that first had to be
approved by the people. Washington and the Congress kept the amendments
secret from the people for six months. Washington's signature added to
the amendments was then passed off as a law. Congress and the President
then carried out constitutional functions and passed laws for 11 months
without any court sitting and available to the people to challenge
their blatant unconstitutional acts. The first six Supreme Court
Justices should have refused to accept Washington's nominations for the
knew that in the future, posterity would be denied the right to a
[im]partial court to hear constitutional issues.

Lincoln should not have been so quick to participate in a military
action in South Carolina. His action caused most southern states to
leave the Union, and the constitutional contract was broken. As
President, Lincoln should have called for a convention of northern and
middle states to draft a new Constitution of all free states. Lincoln
chose to preserve a Constitution that had been causing the people
neverending trouble and more than a million from both sides were
deprived of their lives.
