IS THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT GOOD?

Amendment divides libertarians Few issues divide libertarians the way the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution does. Gene Healy has observed that “[c]lassical liberals of good faith have found themselves on either side of the issue.” On the one side are those who praise the amendment for circumventing the power of the states to prejudice, police, regulate, or otherwise use force to impose discriminatory laws on their citizens. On the other side are those who, while acknowledging the problematic nature of state misconduct and wrongdoing, are not willing to condone the transfer of power from states to the federal government, and in particular to the federal ...

On a warm fall day in South Dallas, ten revolutionaries dressed in kaffiyehs and ski masks jog the perimeter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park bellowing "No more pigs in our community!" Military discipline is in full effect as the joggers respond to two former Army Rangers in desert-camo brimmed hats with cries of "Sir, yes, sir!" The Huey P. Newton Gun Club is holding its regular Saturday fitness-training and self-defense class. Men in Che fatigues run with weight bags and roll around on the grass, knife-fighting one another with dull machetes. "I used to salute the fucking flag!" the cadets chant. "Now I use it for a rag!" "A knife changes ...

US Coup in Ukraine: Oliver Stone's Documentary by Stephen Lendman Coups are a US specialty. Replacing legitimate governments with pro-Western stooge ones. Ukraine is Exhibit A. The latest example. America's newest colony. For sure not the last. Washington tolerates no sovereign independent states. Subservient ones only. Last February, longstanding US plans culminated with ousting Ukraine's democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovich. This writer's edited and contributed to book "Flashpoint in Ukraine: How the US Drive for Hegemony Risks WW III" explains today's most important geopolitical issue. The gravest one since WW II. East/West confrontation. ...

On October 23, 2001, the Office of Legal Counsel issued a legal opinion that would shock most Americans if they realized its full implications. By all appearances, it is still in effect, judging by military surveillance operations taking place in the U.S. by the Department of Defense and the military command within it, the National Security Agency (NSA). The opinion was entitled: Authority for Use of Military Force to Combat Terrorist Activities Within the United States (emphasis in original). What is the Office of Legal Counsel – or "OLC" for short – that made such a bold move? It is a secretive office in the Department of Justice. The purpose of the OLC is ...
Law enforcement ‘desperately’ trying to hide use of surveillance cell towers

Law enforcement organizations around the country are desperate to keep the public unaware of the use of Stringrays, a surveillance technology that secretly monitors cell phones, even as courts and lawmakers are starting to fight back. That’s the conclusion of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which tallied up a year’s worth of public records requests by American media organizations, as well as court and legislative actions, related to the government’s use of the technology, also known as IMSI catchers. “We’ve long worried about the government’s use of [Stingrays, which] masquerade as a legitimate cell phone tower, tricking phones nearby to connect to ...

Who'll Sanction the Sanctioner? by Stephen Lendman America imposes sanctions recklessly. Like street bullies shoving around anyone they please. Because who'll stop them? Washington acts lawlessly. Against targeted states. For political reasons. With no international law permitted authority to do so. Security Council members alone may impose sanctions. Not individual nations against others. US veto power has final say. Preventing other SC members from targeting America. Reason enough to bar countries from voting on issues relating to themselves. Who ever heard of defendants sitting on juries in its own trials? Which ones ever had acquittal authority by veto power? No nation ...

Perfect Storm Conditions Threaten Ukraine by Stephen Lendman A previous article discussed Ukraine heading for disaster. Facing fascist dictatorship. Civil war. Mass impoverishment. Extreme deprivation. Troubled nuclear reactors. Possible bankruptcy. Even economic collapse. A nation rife with problems. Plundered for profit. IMF-style complicit with corrupt Kiev officials. In October, the Russia Insider web site headlined "Organ Harvesting in Ukraine: Troubling Revelations." Saying "(b)odies of dead Ukrainian soldiers found with their stomachs cut open and organs missing." Their hearts, kidneys and livers harvested. For huge sums recipients willingly pay. ...

Obama Says Only He Can Ignore the Constitution President Obama never ceases to amaze me. Now, this is a guy who taught Constitutional law at the University of Chicago. Presumably he knows and understands how the branches of government are supposed to work. But, apparently, he doesn’t think the Constitution applies to him. (Link sources from here.) Mind you, he says that this exception only applies to him. Future Presidents shouldn’t be allowed to show discretion in doing their jobs, just him. I’m not sure exactly how he figures that he’s so special. Now, in case you weren’t paying attention in civics class during your school years, our Federal government is ...

Cuba Bashing by Stephen Lendman It's longstanding. Long ago it wore thin. It continues. Even from supportive embargo-lifting media. In October, New York Times editors expressed support for lifting it. Calling it "senseless." Wanting diplomatic relations established. After over half a century without them. At the same time, outrageously calling Cuba an "authoritarian government that harasses and detains dissidents. (M)any fear speaking openly and demanding greater rights." After Obama's outreach, Times editors called Cuba "a repressive police state." Polar opposite hard truths. Its government insists it has no political prisoners. Individuals ...

Supreme Court: Searches that spawn from illegitimate traffic stops are now OK in court

Supreme Court: Searches that spawn from illegitimate traffic stops are now OK in court The Supreme Court struck another blow to the Bill of Rights with its 8-1 decision to expand police powers in situations where the police perform traffic stops based on imaginary laws. The Heien v. North Carolina decision held that an officer’s “reasonable mistake of law” can lead to an allowable search and arrest for contraband. The case arose from a 2009 traffic stop in North Carolina, in which motorist Nicholas Heien was stopped by police for driving with one broken brake light. That stop led to a search of Heien’s vehicle, which in turn led to the discovery of illegal drugs. ...

Thoughts on New Year's Eve by Stephen Lendman Heading into 2015, things look grim. Domestically and abroad. US presidents able to govern like despots. Unilaterally claim emergency powers. Declare martial law. Suspend constitutional rights. Rule by diktat. With or without congressional and/or judicial authority. Based on alleged national security threats. Real or contrived. Deploying US combat troops on US streets at their discretion. Unheard of in so-called democracies. Wage naked aggression on their say. Order anyone killed anywhere for any reason. Including US citizens. Or detain them indefinitely. With no formal charges filed. No trial. No habeas rights. No judicial fairness. ...
We Investigated ourselves and found all of our justifications justified: Cops Can Enforce Non-Existent Laws With Impunity.

Ignorance of the law is an excuse ... if you are a cop. American police no longer need to know what the law says or to enforce it correctly. They can implement a non-existent law with impunity even if it results in the apparent violation of constitutional rights. This may have been apparent to many as a police practice but now it is officially the law of the land. On December 15, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled on Heien v. North Carolina. Facts of the Case In 2009, Sergeant Matt Darisse made a clear “mistake of law” in conducting a traffic stop. He pulled over a car driven by Maynor Javier Vazquez and owned by Nicholas Heien who was sleeping in the back. ...
FBI Report Accidentally Exposes Severity Of America’s Police State

(TheAntiMedia) A recently published FBI report accidentally proves that while the police claim cops face growing threats from rowdy populations–like in Ferguson–the opposite is true. The report presents law enforcement deaths in 2013. The report found that across the entire country, only 76 LEOs were killed in “line-of-duty” incidents. 27 died as a result of “felonious” acts and 49 officers died in accidents–namely, automobile (ironically, of the 23 killed in car accidents, 14 were not wearing seat belts–a violation for which cops routinely ticket drivers). More officers die from accidents than actual murders on the job. The report also outright ...

The Legality of Secession by George Desnoyers October 13, 2005 When they originally ratified the U.S. Constitution, at least three states – New York, Virginia, and Rhode Island - included clauses asserting the right too secede from the Union at a future time. Of the three states, the ratifications by New York and Virginia were considered necessary for the Union to have a chance to succeed. The debates within those two states received great attention. Both were large states, and their ratifications were uncertain for several months. Virginia’s ratification (with a vote of 89 to 79) came on June 25, 1788 and New York’s (with a vote of 30 to 27) on ...
