While I agree with your premise that as a Republic we are a nation of laws and the Constitution is there to regiment that rule of law, and I subscribe to John Adams’ adage that the Constitution was made for a moral and religious people” I disagree with the general assessment that the law was just bent or circumvented. I.e. changes to the election laws and procedures are the purview of State Legislators rather than the purview of Secretaries of State via executive action or changes to rules. Laws were broken but the current system is so infiltrated by evil doers in all 3 branches of government that we are left in a dire position if we want to get our Republic back. We should pay heed to Bonhoeffer’s warning “silent in the face of evil is evil itself”and never lose sight of our Founding Fathers’ legacy of courage, fortitude and faith, to fight for liberty when in the course of events we find ourselves under the rule of tyrants. And as to the military, it has a duty, to defend the Constitution and the Republic.
Federal judge Louis Guirola Jr, 06 Jul 2024: Ruled SCOTUS’s overturning of the Chevron doctrine means the Biden Regime’s latest interpretation of Title IX cannot require Mississippi healthcare providers to perform transgender-related services.
Loper Bright Enterprises, a family fishing company, was being driven out of business because they couldn't afford the $700 per day they were being charged by the NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) to monitor their company.
The thing is, federal law doesn't authorize NMFS to charge businesses for this. They just decided to start doing it in 2013.
Why did they think they could get away with just charging people without any legal authorization?
The 1984 SCOTUS Chevron decision: Unelected Regulatory Bureaucrats were the "experts", so the courts could just defer to the Unelected Bureaucrats "interpretation" of the law.
So, for the past 40 years, federal agencies have been able to "interpret" laws to mean whatever they want, and the courts had to just go with it.
It was called Chevron Deference, and it put bureaucrats in charge of the country.
It's how OHSA was able to decide that everyone who worked for a large company had to get the jab or be fired.
No law gave them that authority. They just made it up.
It's how the ATF was able to decide a piece of plastic was a "machine gun."
It's how the NCRS was able to decide that a small puddle was a "protected wetlands."
It's how out-of-control agencies have been able to create rules out of thin air and force you to comply, and the courts had to simply defer to them because they were the "experts."
Imagine if your local police could just arrest you for any reason, and no judge or jury was allowed to determine if you'd actually committed a crime or not. Just off to jail you go.
That's what Chevron Deference was.
It was not only blatantly unconstitutional, it caused immeasurable harm to everyone.
Thankfully, it's now gone.
We haven't even begun to feel the effects of this decision in the courts. It will be used, for years to come, to roll back federal agencies, and we'll all be better off for it.
And that's why politicians and corporate media are freaking out about it.
Focusing solely on the Legislative branch regarding this matter would tend to give a pass to the Justice department . . . Consider ==>
240815 The Chevron Doctrine stems from the 1984 Supreme Court case Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. It established a legal test for determining when courts should defer to a government agency's interpretation of a statute that it administers.
The Chevron Doctrine was this little legal nugget that basically said, "Hey, courts, if Congress wrote a law that's as clear as mud, just trust the agency in charge to figure it out." It was like giving the keys to the kingdom to federal agencies, allowing them to interpret laws as they saw fit.
Now, imagine a world where big, bad monopolies on medical technology (like those pesky med beds) were running amok, crushing innovation under their tyrannical heels. The Chevron Doctrine was like their best buddy, helping them keep their iron grip on the market.
You see, with the Chevron Doctrine in place, these monopolies could lobby the agencies to interpret laws in their favor, effectively blocking any upstarts from entering the scene with their fancy new med beds or other medical marvels. It was like a legal shield, protecting them from the harsh winds of competition.
It’s likely the only group that will live up to the oath…to defend and protect from all enemies. I’d add the worst of the enemies are the traitors from within…the military will uphold their oath….outside of DC. The national guard.🇺🇸
Most of what is written sounds wonderful and agreeable. However, Our very government has become corrupt to the point that We The People can not change it. It has been proven many times that no election in this nation is trust worthy, and therefore VOTING CAN NOT REPRESENT THE VOICE AND WILL OF THE PEOPLE. Now I am not a highly educated man by any means, ( I actually hail a G.E.D. from C.T.C. ) I gave 20 of my best years defending this Republic as a soldier in the U.S. Army, and saw first hand that appsolute power apsolutely corrupts many. I appreciate your elegant words of persuasion that the people must possess a deep understanding of our Constitution and what it stands for before we can expect so sort of change in our government ONLY by using existing twisted rules & laws written by enemies of this nation. I disagree strongly with the premiss that We the People can not expect our military to reestablish control over our current beligerent government by REMOVING IT. There is no other way to reestablish A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE without the power of our loyal military. In closing; I do not want war on our soil. I do not want US citizens once again, killing and destroying each other. I DO NOT WANT TO BE A PART OF WAR AGAIN, but my oath like millions of others, to defend from foriegn and domestic enemies, has not expired.
There's a lot more we can do than just vote, and there's a lot more that needs to be done than just vote. I, too, retired from the military, but I would ask: Did African Americans have the military to save them? The National Guard stepped in a few times in some states, but that's about it—not in the way that some people suggest today, not even close. How do you think African Americans felt when tens of thousands were lynched, enslaved, and oppressed, even after the Emancipation Proclamation, continuing into the early 60s? Did they have a vote? How did they reclaim their right to vote? How did they truly gain their freedom? Think about that for a moment.
And then consider the labor movement. How long did that struggle last? Do you know how many children and people were killed during the labor movement? Their rights were violated far more egregiously than ours are today, by a long shot. So, I don’t agree with the notion that voting is the only thing we can do. I'm not ready to give up, and I’m not saying you are either. But the problem is that too many people think voting is the only option. It’s not. There’s a lot more that can be done. Just look at what the Democrats are doing. I refuse to be beaten into submission or to believe that my government is so broken that it can’t be fixed because a bunch of blue-haired liberals handed it over to foreigners. No, I’d rather die trying to take it back, even if it’s with my vote.
And who is it that our military is loyal to? You should know that the military is just as political as anything else. Our loyal military, when I was in, was loyal to the Constitution. Any subversion is an unlawful order, no matter who gives it, including the president. You do understand that, right? A president can give an unlawful order, too. And you're obligated not to follow it, just as you're obligated to follow lawful orders.

The national guard is likely the military organization to live up to its oath. DC and the TV generals have become traitors to their oath.
I would add to that the tier one and two assets. We are fanatics about our constitution.
Amen🇺🇸
