Well, well, well....
It seems that in their haste to cram socialized medicine down the throats of the American people, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Barack Obama overlooked Senate amendment 3276, Sec. 2716, part c.
According to reports, that amendment says the government cannot use doctors to collect "any information relating to the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition."
CNN is calling it "a gift to the nation's powerful gun lobby."
And according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), that's exactly right. He says he added the provision in order to keep the NRA from getting involved in the legislative fight over Obamacare, which was so ubiquitous in 2010.
Fuck you, Nancy Pelosi, you god-damned fascist bitch. Fuck you Obama, you jack-booted nazi bastard. And fuck anyone else who has helped us slide down to this point, where the thought of the PRESIDENT willfully violating the Constitution is not just a fear, but a reality.
I just think that using the freedom-destroying Obamacare bill as the method to throw their gun control back into their faces is some delicious irony.
Question: At what point does an otherwise-lawful order become not-so because the authority issuing is itself in breach of the law?

You guys don't see it yet do you?
ReplyDeleteYou now live in a country of men rather than a country of laws. It's here, and it's a very bad thing.
The same is happening in the rest of the old free world. Emotion trumps everything, reason and law mean nothing. These are sad times.
Mark - we've long passed that point. When people and businesses are forced to violate their religious beliefs in order to comply with the law, the lawful order becomes unlawful.
ReplyDeleteAny law that forces me to pay for abortion and contraception goes against my Catholic beliefs, and I have an obligation to refuse to obey that law. Whether I do it through civil disobedience, armed rebellion or other means will be based on what I think will bring the best results.
My problem is that the majority of Americans are obviously perfectly fine with shitting on the Constitution so that they can have their free birth control pills. What, exactly, can I do about THAT?
