The Answer Is No

WE THE PEOPLE met in Philadelphia “in order to form a more perfect Union.”  (Preamble)  Yet even the document being replaced dismissed division, since its full title was the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union.  (Emphasis added)  For during the Revolutionary War, it was a matter of national security—“Join or Die.”

     TREASON—“levying war” against the United States “or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort”—is the only crime defined in the Constitution because it is a threat to the life of the Republic.  (Article III, Section 3, Clause 1)  And if the Civil War was an act of treason, then the Battle of Capitol Hill was the equivalent of Fort Sumter.  But what is an appropriate response? 

     The gentleman from New York, who resides at Mar-a-Lago, did not accept the outcome of the last   election.  If the results are the same, he will not accept this one.  And he will see to “the termination of...the Constitution.” 

     THE OATH requires us to support and defend the supreme law of the land “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”  (Emphasis added)  The Chief Traitor is a domestic enemy.  Thus, there are consequences.  “So help me God” means the Constitution, yes; the Chief Traitor, no—no to his election, no to his certification, and no to his inauguration. 

     In the aftermath of the Revolutionary War, the Articles of Confederation, and the Federal Convention, James Madison said, “America united, with a handful of troops, or without a single soldier, exhibits a more forbidding posture to foreign ambition than America disunited, with a hundred thousand veterans ready for combat.”  (The Federalist Papers, No. 41)  Indeed.  But now, with the crossing of the Rubicon, it is time to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility…and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”  (Preamble) 

     THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES must act.  The rebellion must be crushed.  Failure to do so would be grotesque neglect of duty.  For the one who swears to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution” must “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” and the Constitution is “the supreme law of the land”—the first law.  (Article II, Section 1, Clause 8; Article II, Section 3 & Article VI, Clause 2)
