| Commentary on CURRENT EVENTS - May 28, 2006 |
| If there is one thing that all public officials have in common, whether duly elected or appointed, it is that they all are supposed to take an ' OATH OF OFFICE ' prior to assuming their public duties. There is an emerging amount of case law that if it is found that any given public official has not taken his ' Oath of Office ' then whatever votes taken, or policies rendered, in the performance of their duties performed, those actions are ' null & void ' , ab initio ! When Our Founding Fathers finalized our form of government as a Democracy within the framework of a Republic, they assumed that everyone practiced a commonly accepted moral code modeled after the Biblical Republic established by Moses on Mt. Sinai. As much as Moses tried to govern on an even basis, the workload became too much for him alone, thus he was forced to establish a Judicial System in which he personally became the Chief Justice to handle the most difficult cases. In Exodus, Chapter 18, beginning at Verse 13, Moses became the people ' s representative in the face of The Divine Laws in order to show the people the way to live and the duties they were to perform. He expected the people to select capable persons who understood the Divine Laws, besides being personally trustworthy as well as selecting those who hated dishonest gain ! By any stretch of the imagination, that is a far cry from what we see taking place within America today ! When the Mosaic standards are followed, legal disputes are handled by local magistrates in the county seats, and if applicable to all, then to district courts comprised of more than one county seat. And if disputes cannot be settled there, then they move on to the State Supreme Court, as the county seat for all the counties within a state. Finally, if disputes cannot be settled in a state supreme court, then they can be moved forward all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court which in effect is the county seat for all the states. When it works properly, the Rights of the People are protected within the framework of an honest legal system! From Mt. Sinai until now, persons elected to public service have been required to take an ' Oath of Office ' and from Colonial days until now, by making a public declaration, and then in writing as filed with their County Clerks respectively. The ' Oath of Office ' is no different in principle and effect than the ' Oath ' to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, in a Court of Law. Just as someone can be held personally accountable for false swearing, lying & perjury in a court of law, and punished accordingly ~ so too can public officials be held accountable when they commit acts of commission and omission that violate the public trust! The oath to be taken by the president on first entering office is specified in Article II, Section 1, of the U.S. Constitution: " I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. " The oath taken by all others in public service, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil or uniformed services, including those serving in the military, derives its authority from Title 5, Part III, Subpart B, Chapter 33, Subchapter II, Section 3331, and states as follows: ' I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God. ' The ' Oath of Office ' carries with it supporting & defending the BILL OF RIGHTS as part of the Constitution therefore anyone in public office who advocates any violation of the Bill of Rights, in any form or effect, has by definition violated their sworn Oath and therefore should be evictedconvicted accordingly. To publicly swear to uphold an Oath, and then not do so, is no different than someone false swearng, lying or committing perjury in a court of law ! This is the easiest key to judge the performance of every public official within the context of their duties performing the public trust! Therefore any public official who advocates disarming the Citizens of this nation, or spying on the public, or advocating ' extraordinary renditions ' , detaining without formal charges, or ' torturing ' prisoners or civilians, or breaking into homes under the guise of official business, or carrying out the egregious sections of the misnomer called ' The Patriot Acts ', is committing a violation of their respective ' Oath of Office ' and should be tried and punished accordingly! This includes the almost 800 so-called ' signing statements ' whereby the ' Bush regime ' picks and chooses what aspect of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the laws of this country it chooses to uphold and to shamelessly break! As the direct and proximate result, there are few, if any, within the ' Bush regime ' that could escape being charged and prosecuted accordingly to the fullest extent of the law ~ including capital results ~ were they held fully accountable ! Since the public sees such a wholesale disrespect for the laws in general, and the Constitution in particular, including the respective ' Oath of Office ' , our nation has had to recently endure even high-ranking state officials stand on public platforms advocating and praising illegal aliens as they demonstrate in opposition to proposed laws to curtail and end the illegal invasion of America! The direct & proximate result, from the White House downward, is an embarrassing deterioration of respect for what they were supposedly elected to public service to uphold ~ THE PUBLIC TRUST & THEIR ' OATH OF OFFICE ' ! Similar conditions were faced by Our Founding Fathers and they chose to divorce themselves from a corrupt king and his parliament and form these United States. The choices facing American Citizens are now almost the same ~ the ballot box or the cartridge box! The easiest solution would be to elect capable and honest persons as Moses instructed ~ and if so, then those persons will have to come Free of any and all Special Interests! They must also possess a full working knowledge of a representative Republic. But that also prescribes that the People know and protect their Rights! Only one alternative political party offers these principles within its ' 10 POINTS of REFORM for AMERICA ' and that is the Reform Party USA ~ reorganized under the integrated management system of its Charter & Bylaws. Within this framework Our Republic can be reformed and saved for future generations! Join the struggle for a better America tomorrow! Join the Cause for Reform today! Register to vote Reform today!
