Sounding the alarm

America Wants To Know occasionally checks out the web statistics for this site, which reveal the phrases people typed into search engines to find it.

Some of them are funny and some of them are a little scary, but none has ever alarmed us quite the way this one did:

"Under what conditions can the Constitution be revoked," the Internet searcher asked.

Well, searcher, here's your answer.

Under NO CONDITIONS can the Constitution be revoked.

No conditions.

None.

The U.S. Constitution is in force during wartime, peacetime, prosperity, depression, Republican administrations and Democratic ones.

It's in force when the president is popular, when the president is unpopular, when there's bipartisan cooperation and when there's partisan battling.

It's in force during the War on Drugs, the War on Terror and the War on Poverty. It's in force whether we use fossil fuels or alternative energy, whether we wear fur or throw paint at it, whether the globe is warming or we're in a new ice age.

Got it?

The Constitution is a signed contract representing the consent of the governed. It cannot be revoked by any government official, under any circumstances, ever.

The Constitution limits the power of the federal government and guarantees that you have rights which may not be infringed by arbitrary government action.

This has gone far enough.

America Wants To Know calls on business people and judges and lawyers and citizens and everyone who cares about freedom to stand up now and stop this slide to dictatorship before it's just one more thing that makes us say, "I can't believe this has happened."

Get on the phone and call your congressmen, your senators, and the White House.

I have a house in Henry Waxman's district and I know how to use it.
