Questioning All: constitution of U.S.

UPDATE 12/26/11 - Post about the Comment left on December 25th 2011 at 6:30 PM below - We have the power to make a difference and information of what that bill is, that is mentioned in the comment.

UPDATE As of December 7, 2011 - Not one Tennessee Elected Official has gotten back to me about my email. So it seems they too don't care about our Constitution nor the Citizens of Tennessee having their rights taken away by the Federal Government. This is so sad in that We the People don't have any elected official that is willing to actually stand up for the Country and our Constitution! This is what the State of the Union is now like - the U.S. and State Citizens have been abandoned by their elected officials and what our Forefathers had created in the form of a "More perfect Union."

Copy and paste this if you would like to all of your State representatives - obviously change Tennessee to what ever state you are in.

Here is my post of this solution.

Here is the link to all the State's individual State Government Websites

(If someone writes something better to send to their "State" officials, please send it to me and I will put it on the blog) I wrote this trying to show how the States can take action on their own and protect their State Citizens against Unconstitutional Federal Laws.

HERE IS THE EMAIL:

Due to the unconstitutional executive orders and the unconstitutional McCain/Levin bill in the Defense Authorization Act that just passed the Senate on December 1, 2011.

I am asking for a Bill to Recognize the Constitution of the United States as THE LAW of the State of Tennessee.

I am asking the Tennessee State Elected Officials on the State Level to Pass a Law that keeps the Constitution of the United States in Affect IN FULL! I am asking that a State Law be enacted that says ANY Federal Law or Executive Order that is directly against the Constitution of the United States for the Legal Citizens of the United States is not recognized nor is a law in the State of Tennessee!

Here are the reasons why I am asking for the Tennessee Legislative branch to take these steps to protect the U.S. citizens of Tennessee.

The McCain Levin bill authorizes the U.S. Military to police the streets of the United States and do renditions of U.S. Citizens and they can be held without rights, trials, charges or a lawyer on suspicion of being a "terrorist" against the United States.

I am asking that the state NOT Allow the military nor the Federal government to be allowed to take any U.S. Citizen in the State of Tennessee and will not recognize the McCain Levin Bill, due to it being directly against the Constitution of the United States and the State of Tennessee.

The description in the bill passed by the U.S. Senate is exactly as follows:

____________________________________________________________________________

b) Covered Persons- A covered person under this section is any person as follows:

(1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks.

(2) A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.

SEC. 5. DETENTION WITHOUT TRIAL OF UNPRIVILEGED ENEMY BELLIGERENTS.
An individual, including a citizen of the United States, determined to be an unprivileged enemy belligerent under section 3(c)(2) ... may be detained without criminal charges and without trial for the duration of hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners in which the individual has engaged, or which the individual has purposely and materially supported, consistent with the law of war and any authorization for the use of military force provided by Congress pertaining to such hostilities.

_________________________________________________________________________________

As you can see the U.S. Senate directly passed a bill that is completely Unconstitutional!

Here are the United States Bill of Rights:

First Amendment – Establishment Clause, Free Exercise Clause; freedom of speech, of the press, and of assembly; right to petition

Tenth Amendment – Powers of States and people.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Here is where State LAW OVERRULES Federal Law when the Federal Law is directly against the Consitution of the United States!

Article VI, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, known as the Supremacy Clause, establishes the U.S. Constitution, U.S. Treaties, and Federal Statutes as "the supreme law of the land." The text decrees these to be the highest form of law in the U.S. legal system, and mandates that all state judges must follow federal law when a conflict arises between federal law and either the state constitution or state law of any state. (Note that the word "shall" is used, which makes it a necessity, a compulsion.) However, the Supremacy Clause only applies if the federal government is acting in pursuit of its constitutionally authorized powers, as noted by the phrase "in pursuance thereof" in the actual text of the Supremacy Clause itself.
The "supremacy clause" is the most important guarantor of national union. It assures that the Constitution and federal laws and treaties take precedence over state law and binds all judges to adhere to that principle in their courts. - United States Senate^[1]

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.
