As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Thomas Jefferson was the first Democrat in America. The author of the Declaration of Independence, was not limited to the tree of liberty being watered with blood. Jefferson in fact in the Whiskey Rebellion, when he was later installed as President, took the excise tax off the farmers who were in rebellion.
In the Shay's Rebellion, he advocated for so mild of punishments that it actually encouraged people to rebel.
In Thomas Jefferson though, he was not focused on armed rebellion, but equally on nullification. Nullification is simply ignoring the federal regime for infringing on rights.
Writing in reaction to Shay’s Rebellion, Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to James Madison saying rebellions were a "medicine necessary for the sound health of government" and that "honest republican governors" should be "so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much."
What many people fail to grasp is that rebellions and insurrections aren’t always found in physical confrontations, and the "medicine necessary for the sound health of government" can be applied just as effectively through the nullification of unconstitutional federal acts. Incidentally, Jefferson referred to nullification as the "rightful remedy."
Thomas Jefferson in negotiating treaties had the power of the Louisiana Purchase. He deployed the US military against pirates. He understood the power of a President. He also would be the first to denounce these unConstitutional Executive Orders. No President has the right to shut down pipelines as Obama did as Biden did. No President can issue orders in these disgusting acts of tyranny. Ronald Reagan had not any authority to blackmail states into seat belt laws.
The fact is John Roberts and the Supreme Court have ripped up the Constitution in Obamacare to Sodomy, as others did aborticide.
Congress is nothing but an infringement. The 1968 Gun Control Act is unConstitutional. Abuse of impeachment is unConstitutional.
If you look at the memos leaked on the Capitol riots, there is a DOJ and FBI discussion that 800 people should not be charged as it will clog up the courts. It would take years for these trials to be heard. In noting that, if everyone ignored all of these infringements as in nullification, there is not any way to deal with that many millions of people. I'm not advocating that, but making the point, that there is not a system in place to deal with widespread nullification.
George Washington gave amnesty and pardoned two convicted for treason. Would it not have been wonderful if Donald Trump had given amnesty, instead of saving himself. Would it not have been Jerry Ford diplomatic if Joe Biden had offered amnesty, even as Abraham Lincoln did.
Is it not alarming, to see the 21st century politicians, hunting down Americans, calling them terrorists, abandoning them, when George Washington and Thomas Jefferson embraced their Americans They did not set them up to frame them. They had compassion and affinity with their Americans.
