Progressives have been on a crusade to undermine the
U.S. Constitution well over a century.
The 1946 Administrative Procedure Act was a godsend to totalitarians who
scoff at the concept of a republican form of government. This law created a fourth branch of
government that works independently of Congress. Soon, the totalitarians that infest these bureaucracies
will implement laws that circumvent the treaty making process and undermine our
sovereignty.
The Environmental Protection Agency has provided a
blueprint on how to bypass our Constitution, and subsequently Congress, by
funding special interest groups, and in turn, they sue the federal government
i.e. the EPA, who then settles out of court, advancing that agencies agenda and
power. Devious isn’t it? Well now, they’re taking this show on an
international stage.
The Obama administration and his leftist minions
just can’t seem to get the Senate to betray the American people with a
Kyoto-style environmental treaty. They
know this will never happen without a full blown revolt. Instead, they’ll use the courts to advance
their agenda, just like they’ve done before. CNS reported the following:
It’s quite clear under Article 2, Section
2 of the Constitution that after the president signs it, any binding
international law agreement has to be ratified by the Senate,” Horner
explained.
But he noted that “activist green groups,
in conjunction with the New York attorney general’s office, have already
developed plans to use the federal courts to force Americans to drastically
reduce their energy consumption whether or not Obama signs a new climate change
treaty in Paris next year” to replace the expired Kyoto Protocol.
Horner
predicted the White House strategy in a 2009 paper published by the Federalist
Society, in which he wrote: “It appears that Kyoto will be the subject of a
controversial effort to sharply revise U.S. environmental treaty practice….
waiving the Constitution’s requirement of Senate ratification by reclassifying
the product of talks as a congressional-Executive agreement, not a treaty.”
(See Kyoto II ...Emerging
Strategy.pdf)
”You can’t just dismiss this if you know
what they’re trying to do,” Horner said, pointing to a copy of a court pleading
drafted by environmental activists that he received from the New York attorney
general’s office under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request two years
ago.
The draft lawsuit argues that the federal
government should be required to honor its international commitments even if
they are not ratified by the Senate.
The strategy
was confirmed in June by Yvo De Boer, the UN’s
former climate chief. “If the U.S. feels that ‘internationally legally binding’
has little value, and that the real value lies in legally-binding national
commitments, then these regulations can be the way for the U.S. to show
leadership,” De Boer said.
“We know where this is going,” Horner told
CNSNews.com. “As they intend, it will end up in the courts, not the Senate. The
issue would come down to 'How do you implement it?' and that is where stunts
like the NY AG's come in. You get a court to turn these gestures into law
and/or a friendly administration to roll over and get a court's blessing by
settling a ‘sue-and-settle’ case.”
“You can’t trust
the courts not to do that, and it will be as good as ratifying” a climate
treaty as far as Americans are concerned, added Horner, author of Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud and
Deception to Keep You Misinformed.
And the totalitarians at the EPA get more and more
power, while the American people lose their liberties.
