Who Checks and Balances the Federal Government?

We seem to be living in an age where a substantial minority believe the federal government is the country. They believe Washington D.C. and its armies of bureaucrats and magistrates can dictate whatever policy they deem appropriate. These statist have no regard for the restraints of the U.S. Constitution if it conflicts with their ideology. They believe their special brand of moral supremacy benefits the general welfare whether we the people like it or not.


Recently, General Assemblies across the country are being sued by liberal organizations in the hopes of redrawing congressional districts that favor the Democratic Party. A three judge panel just screwed North Carolina’s midterm elections by demanding our elected representatives reconfigure our whole state except one district or they will appoint a third party to do it for them. Our primaries are completely screwed and we may not have our midterm elections until next year, thanks to these scumbags.


Now who in the hell gave these three judges the authority to dictate our congressional districts? Certainly, the U.S. Constitution didn’t. As a matter of fact, Article I specifically grants that power to the General Assemblies who’re solely responsible for this outcome.


It has become quite apparent that there is no check and balance when it comes to the federal government. The States Rights doctrine of nullification and secession provided an avenue of sovereignty, but that was taken away when Lincoln invaded the South; now we are at the mercy of Beltway courtesans and their totalitarian offspring.


The Abbeville Institute published an article that pretty much sums up the mess we are in:


While the founding fathers and the ratifying conventions of Sovereign States specifically designed and endorsed a constitutionally limited federal government with the States as co-equal branches, it is clear today that we are living under the iron-rule of a supreme federal government capable of forcing its subjects to “hear and obey.” Professor Edward S. Corwin, writing in 1941, noted that there were no longer any limits to the powers of the federal government. He approvingly observed, “the National Government is entitled to employ any and all of its powers to forward any and all of the objectives of good government.” [7] And of course, the elites who control the federal government get to decide what is and what is not “good government.” Today, there is no doubt as to where supreme governmental power resides—it resides with the elites who control the federal government. All nine Federal Supreme Court Justices in Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1 (1958), “…declared the basic principle that the federal judiciary is supreme in the exposition of the law of the Constitution.” [8] In Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186 (1962) the Federal Supreme Court instructed state legislatures regarding the apportionment of the legislatures of the once sovereign states—clearly demonstrating that “states” had become mere provinces of Lincoln’s newly and unconstitutionally created Federal Empire. If we are courageous enough to measure the current supreme federal government by the American political metric of consent, then we are forced to admit that the federal government has been weighted in the balance and found wanting! It is an illegitimate government power.



It must be nice to be a federal judge where one can do as they damn well please. That is one branch that doesn’t have to worry about checks and balances.
