True or False Friday

True or False Friday:

FALSE!  


Our country has known famine, disease, war, terrorism, death, natural disaster, and much more. No matter however pressing the exigency of the time may appear, the “Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people . . . at all times, and under all circumstances.” Ex Parte Milligan, 71 US 2, 120 (1866); Twitchell v Blodgett, 13 Mich 127, 149-50 (1865).  And as you can see by these citations, this has been a well understood principle in the United States Supreme Court and the Michigan Supreme Court for well over 150 years.

This is the same man who has been giving business owners all across Michigan "legal" advice, claiming to be a "Constitutional Lawyer" representing many of these businesses in their situations. This is the same man who created the "Constitutional L

We get our rights from God, not the Government

The people of the United States are each entitled to a “separate and equal station [by] the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.”  Decl. of Indep. We are “all created equal . . . endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.  That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men.”  Decl. of Indep.
