The American empire is built upon a lie which is sad because as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Truth is the summit of being: justice is the application of it to affairs...; and whatever instances can be quoted of unpunished theft, or of a lie which somebody has credited, justice must prevail, and it is the privilege of truth to make itself believed."

The constitutional truth is simple: the political branch of government can't initiate an invasion against an Indian tribe or foreign Nation but, if either should invade the United States first, war is justified in retaliation.

The constitution set up the US Supreme Court as truth's champion but it has become politicized and, in consequence, it does what it feels is politically expedient rather than uphold the constitutional truth.

In 1871 Congress tacked a rider onto that year's Appropriations Act negating the Indian tribal sovereignty recognized by the constitution's amendment, defence and treaty clauses and their constitutive interpretive precedents. The unconstitutional Indian wars ensued.

In 1973 the same thing as had been done by Congress to the tribes was done to foreign Nations by the War Powers Act which pretended to give the President jurisdiction to declare and wage war if he of she feels there is an emergency due to economic competition.

The unconstitutional Indian and foreign wars are prefect crimes in the sense of being carried out above the law with absolute impunity because the judicial branch wilfully obstructs and ignores the conflict between the constitution and the ordinary legislation.

The constitution's articles and the original and authoritative precedents interpreting them are presented alongside the ordinary legislation abrogating the constitution in detail at http://mightisnotright.org/.

In this context US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is the only judge in North America since 1871 to have been true to the judicial oath of office to uphold the principle of constitutional supremacy upon regard for which the existence of constitutional democracy depends.

The obstruction and ignoring by the other judges and the Court bureaucracy of the abrogation of the amendment, defence and treaty clauses have converted the constitutional democracy into an empire, which is precisely what the Declaration of Independence rebelled against and the constitution resolved not to repeat.

People should stop personally attacking Judge Thomas and should instead thank him for being the constitution's friend in need when all the others have been fair weather friends.

The finance industry problems are only a symptom as are the other indicators of social, economic and moral breakdown: all symptoms of the decline and fall of the truth standard for lack of a judicial champion to defend it.

Unless and until the constitutional truth is upheld by the rest of the Supreme Court truth itself will have no champion and this message will continue to trickle down to every schoolyard and work place in the nation and the world the nation influences.
