My Own Perfect Idaho - liberty, democracy and constitution

Fourteen U.S. States have filed lawsuits against the controversial 'Obamacare' introduced into federal law by President Barry Soetoro's Democratic Party. The States variously argue that the measures are unconstitutional.

The States involved are, at various levels: Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington.

Other States may follow.

This blog is taking a neutral stance on 'Obamacare'. Here in Britain, we have a National Health Service that - despite it's many flaws - does often do a fantastic job. We do not know enough about America's previous healthcare arrangements to comment on the difference in the arrangements which 'Obamacare' would usher in.

However, this blogger is a BRITISH constitutionalist. We'll say more on that when the General Election is called, but this blogger will be backing ALL minor parties who have our national constituion at their heart of ethos.

The U.S. Constitution is one of the greatest written documents in the world - and it was based upon our OWN written Constitution. More on that in a moment.

As 'Obamacare' was voted upon, this blogger was moved by the speech of the Republican Minority Leader John A. Boehner. Here is that speech - and it contains plenty for us here in Britain to reflect upon:

The brilliant conservative libertarian Ron Paul has plenty to say on the matter, too:

So, with defiance of citizens and constitution as a theme, we have to turn to Britain and the European Empire.

We have no States filing lawsuits against the unconstitutional Lisbon Treaty. Unconstitutional? Yes. Read the Bill of Rights 1689. It's all very well and good Members of Parliament using that document to defend themselves against criminal charges over their expenses... but that document should also be used against the Lisbon Treaty.

The Bill of Rights 1689 - one of the documents that inspired the American Constitution - quite clearly states:

"And I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm. So help me God."

Now, one could attempt to dismiss the Bill of Rights 1689 in a number of different ways. However, to do so would create another Constitutional crisis in Britain because Her Majesty The Queen is only our Monarch as a direct result of events surrounding that document.

In a country of some sixty million or more people, only TWO individuals have taken this corrupt Government to court over the Lisbon Treaty - patriotic UKIP supporter Stuart Wheeler and Conservative backbencher Bill Cash. Both lost in their attempts... but, as far as we know, neither attempted to use the Bill of Rights 1689 in the way that we have described to challenge the United Kingdom's signature upon the Lisbon Treaty.

Once this corrupt Government is swept from power, this blogger will write to the incoming Government's Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary about these matters.

There is no point writing to the current Government. It is corrupt, it is rotten - as is this Parliament.

Yet one of our central themes on this blog when the election is announced will be our demand for any would-be Member of Parliament to uphold their vows of office and to uphold the Constitution of this green and pleasant land.

Meanwhile, as the election approaches, it may be worthwhile remembering this. We were reading through the court documents on Stuart Wheeler's website. In response to his legal challenge to the Lisbon Treaty, a Government lawyer wrote to the Court:

"The Claim is based upon political statements, consisting of, and analogous to, manifesto commitments, which cannot give rise to legitimate expectations."

You have that in writing from a lawyer working for the Government. Manifesto promises aren't worth the paper they're written on.

This blogger would like to send our congratulations and gratitude on behalf of British libertarians to the U.S. State of Idaho.

Idaho has taken a stand against the naked body scanners which were rushed into airports all over the world.

You can read some of the background to Idaho's very welcome stand in this report over on the Alex Jones site, Prison Planet.

The State of Idaho obviously has a spine.

May the flame of freedom that Idaho has sparked reach a scorching crescendo that ripples across the Atlantic and sets the people of Britain free.

Meanwhile, the political class in our Parliament want to SPEED UP the roll-out of naked body scanners. Well, they know what they can do, don't they..? Cretinous swine.

This announcement comes on the day that we learn that the police have been called in over misuse of the naked body scanners.

Yet this corrupt Government wants more? They can kiss my naked ass...
