In the United States the Law of the Land is the U.S. Constitution.
The Originalist viewpoint of the document is one that holds to its
meaning at the time it was created. Over time, however, the
original intent has been hijacked, twisted, and subverted by
statist politicians, judges using case law as the basis for
Constitutional Law, a progressive education system, and a media
that is complicit in a real effort to render the Constitution
meaningless in its original form. In a unique style of defense of
originalism, Douglas V. Gibbs examines the myths that have emerged
as a result of a leftist onslaught against this nation as it was
founded, maintaining that the text of the Constitution should be
adhered to in its original intent. The enforcers, and final
arbiters, of the Constitution, however, is not the Supreme Court,
but We The People. The author addresses the most common myths in a
clear and instructive manner, while recognizing and responding to
any possible objections. Does all federal law trump all State law?
Are the three branches of government supposed to be co-equal? Can
the courts legislate from the bench? How about executive orders?
What was the true intent behind the Commerce Clause, and the
General Welfare Clause? Is the separation of church and state in
the Constitution? Where do our rights come from? Is the United
States a democracy? What is the role of government regarding issues
like social justice? What is the true definition of Natural Born
Citizen? Is the Constitution a living document? What are implied
powers, and are they constitutional? Does the President have to ask
Congress before he can wage war? What would the founders think
about Income Tax, and the Internal Revenue Service? Are the courts
authorized to interpret the Constitution in the way they do? 25
Myths of the United States Constitution is an important
contribution to literature on originalism, and the perfect book for
the average person to read to begin their journey in learning the
Constitution. After reading this book, you will look at the Law of
the Land, and the world of politics, with a renewed sense of
confidence. Being informed, after all, is a large part of the duty
we have as Americans in regards to our involvement as an effective
electorate. And, being informed makes you less likely to be fooled
by the crafty politicians The Constitution is only ink and paper if
we don't defend it.
