"We the People" isn't just a catch phrase

Opinion and Editorial by Independant Journalist Michael Devine

"We the People" isn't just some catch phrase. Living in a society that is completely controlled by technology. Division in political history and political assassination. "We" are the citizens of these United States. "People" are those of different cultures, origins, and beliefs.

As a nation we should be the land of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

In defense of our citizens; Our government should be willing to follow the laws of the land. Commitment to not allowing illegal immigrants, accept legal immigrants, reduce drug abuse, and so on.

We have agencies that are willing to defend these certain types of laws: Such as the DEA, FBI, ICE, US Marshalls, and even certain types of Military.

We as the people of this nation: Speak with differences that can be agreed upon. Tell our legislation that we don't need new laws; we need to enforce the laws already on the books:

For example: Treason, corruption, embezzlement, limits on foreign investment, foreign invasion, drug invasions, and so on.

I had posted a part 1 on Facebook.

IN this op-ed there was more added to Part 1.

To continue this discussion...

We the People:

We examine a bit of Texas...Recently, Texas declared self-defense of their borders.

Article 4 Section 4

" The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the Executive

(When the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.

So Now in Question: Can the Federal Government over rule this claim :

Simple answer: Yes.

The Federal Government has this known "Supremacy Clause" of the United States Constitution. Establishes that State Laws are subordinate to federal law federal law and regulations. Put simply, Federal law governs State Law; However, this is only the case when Federal and State laws conflict with one another.

Does the States have to listen to Federal Government?

This principle of "anti-commandeering" dates back to the 1842 Supreme Court decision Prigg V. Pennsylvania. In which the justices ruled that local and state law enforcement agencies could not be compelled to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act.

NOW:

The reason for is over illegal immigration.
