'Madison knew that states must have the means to defend themselves' Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted a message to social media Monday‚ providing historical context to his recent measures rolled out in order to secure the state’s border. “Texas has the constitutional right to defend itself from invasion. What Texas is doing is exactly what James Madison said would be protected by the Constitution‚” he wrote. The governor then shared an example of how Virginia was previously allowed to use its militia to quell a smuggling racket penetrating state lines. “One of the most crucial rights granted in the U.S. Constitution is a state’s ability to secure its own border. James Madison‚ the ‘Father of the Constitution‚’ emphasized that Article I‚ Section 10‚ Clause 3 would allow Virginia’s state militia ‘to be called forth to suppress smugglers’ who had endangered their state. Those smugglers were bringing contraband into the state and threatened the sovereignty of Virginia’s borders.” He continued the history lesson‚ “Madison knew that states must have the means to defend themselves. John Marshall reinforced this right held by states. He too was an important advocate for ratifying the Constitution‚ and later a Chief Justice on the Supreme Court. Marshall explained that Article I‚ Section 10‚ Clause 3 ‘clearly proves that the states can use the militia when they find it necessary‚’ to respond to an invasion or imminent danger.”Winter Sun Plus is NOW 40% off!

The criminal smuggling activity faced by Texas far exceeds Madison’s criteria for use of a state militia. We will continue to build barriers that deny illegal entry into our state‚ arrest immigrants that cross illegally‚ and fulfill our duty to secure our border‚” the GOP governor concluded his statement.

Congress should prioritize its investigation into the Biden administration’s efforts to silence Americans because of their views. Protecting democracy and the Constitution from Donald Trump and the “MAGA extremists” is a major theme of President Biden’s reelection campaign. As is often the case in American politics‚ President Biden is just as‚ if not more‚ guilty of posing an “existential threat” to the Constitution as those he smears as “extremists.” For example‚ President Biden and members of his administration have waged a campaign to undermine the First Amendment by “encouraging” companies to suppress the expression of “unapproved” views online. The latest example of the administration trying to get a private internet company to censor Americans may be the most outrageous of all. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan recently released a series of emails between Biden administration officials and Amazon‚ the world’s largest online retailer. The government officials wanted Amazon to remove from its online catalog books containing “misinformation” regarding the safety and effectiveness of covid vaccines‚ meaning anything questioning the government’s pro-vaccine propaganda. While Amazon did try to push back some against the administration‚ it did remove at least one “anti-vaccine” book from its online catalog. Amazon also manipulated its search results to make sure books expressing skepticism of vaccines were buried under books touting the pro-vaccine line. The company probably hoped that by “burying” these “dissident” books Amazon could make the administration happy without actually removing all books that question the covid vaccines. The company also promised the administration that it would expand use of a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) warning for books promoting “anti-vaccine” narratives. Some libertarians say that Amazon should not be criticized for its decisions. These libertarians point out that‚ as a private company‚ Amazon has the right to decide what books to sell and also has the right to decide to make it difficult to find books expressing viewpoints the company finds dangerous or distasteful. This is true but ignores one important fact: Amazon’s decision to suppress books critical of covid vaccines was not done to attract consumers who would not shop at a site that sells “anti-vaccine propaganda” or “conspiracy theories.” Instead‚ Amazon acted at the behest of government officials who were seeking to prohibit Americans from accessing alternative views. Amazon may have been eager to cooperate with the government to avoid being subjected to antitrust litigation. At the very time the administration was demanding Amazon suppress covid dissidents‚ President Biden was preparing to appoint Lina Khan‚ an advocate for antitrust litigation against Amazon‚ to lead the Federal Trade Commission.Winter Sun Plus is NOW 40% off! Boost your natural defenses with this powerful vitamin D3 and K formula! It is clear that the US government has been a major spreader of covid disinformation‚ while those challenging the government’s pro-mask‚ pro-vax‚ and pro-lockdown propaganda have been the truth-tellers. Covid is an example of why protecting the First Amendment is vital to protecting not just liberty‚ but also our prosperity and health. Congress should prioritize its investigation into the Biden administration’s efforts to silence Americans because of their views. Congress should then impeach all high-level federal officials‚ including President Biden‚ who took action to violate Americans’ First Amendment rights.
