Reviewing our Privileges or Immunities

Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution reads: “The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.”

The Fourteenth Amendment reiterated the rights inherent in this clause in the original Constitution, spelling them out in detail so that there could be no mistaking what the clause was intended for.

If the privileges and immunities of citizens of the several states are to be uniform across the states then there must be a federal enforcement of those privileges and immunities. Here in Article IV of the Constitution lies a power of the federal government to overturn state laws that have violated the privileges or immunities of United States citizens, to include those rights, individual or collective, underlying all federal laws and the natural and God given rights inherent in a free people.

The Fourteenth Amendment begins "All persons born or naturalized within the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Intent of this clause is a spelling out of the article IV clause, and to extend citizenship to former slaves. "The jurisdiction" of the United States entitles "citizens of the several states" to "all privileges and immunities" of citizens of the United States.

The second clause of the Fourteenth Amendment completes Article IV, reading: “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United State”.

Due process is a fundamental right of free citizens and therefore is inherent to the privileges and immunities of United States citizens. The Fourteenth Amendment, in it's third clause, extends the right to due process to even non-citizens, who otherwise do not have all of the privileges and immunities of United States citizens:

"[N]or shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".

Equal Protection, inherent in Due Process, is merely spelled out in plain language so there can be no mistaking that Negroes are equal to Whites under the law, whether a citizen or non-citizen.

The Fourteenth Amendment, having created no new powers excepting a due process extension to non-citizens and birthright of citizenship, cannot be construed as a new law which gave the federal government an authority to usurp the power of state government, for the federal balance of powers between Washington and the States is, itself, a privilege or immunity of United States citizens. The Ninth and Tenth amendments, created three years after the Article IV Privileges and Immunities Clause in the original Constitution, unerringly place most powers in the hands of the States, and respectively the citizens, not with the federal government.

The federal Supreme Court should not be regulating religion in the States nor should it be involving itself in a redefining of moral values. The religious values upon which this nation was founded are binding, unless and until the people of the United States give new instructions to the Court. Religious freedom is to be federally protected. Non-procreative deviant sexual activity cannot be a fundamental right of free citizens, but the people through their local governments may freely tolerate or condone such values, as many do today.

States' Liberty Party Brief for Ten Commandments Case

The States' Liberty Party has made initial contact with lawyers for Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, and will attempt to submit an Amicus Brief in support of the Ten Commandment's display in Moore's courthouse.

We hold that the States have a constitutional right to establish State religions, an apparent stronger States' rights argument than Justice Moore is wishing to put forth at this time. Our draft brief, which is the process of being completed and formatted for Supreme Court acceptance now, can be read online at http://liberty-ca.org/documents/brief_cj_moore.doc. We welcome suggestions and ideas toward a successful submission of the brief.

Anyone may submit an Amicus Brief in support of either or neither side, but must receive permission from both parties to the lawsuit or from the Court. The States' Liberty Party has received guidance and help from several Findlaw message contributors with legal backgrounds.

States' Rights for California Governor

The California Recall has become a power struggle between establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats. These same establishment politicians had once argued that a Recall was impossible and would be bad for California.

The States' Liberty Party endorses "States' rights" for governor, now unconcerned whether the recall succeeds or not, for big-money interests are bound to determine future state policies.

We accomplished the exceptional feat of being listed by Gray Davis as one of just eleven extremist organizations supporting the Recall. See "Taxpayers Against the Recall", at www.stoptherecall.com. Click on "Who's Behind the Recall" to find the "offending" organizations.

We do not believe that any of the candidates positioning themselves to win will be helpful toward furthering our message of States' rights, religious principles, and moral values.

If the Recall has helped and further helps States' rights and religious principles, then it will have been a successful campaign, and we are confident that this has already happened.

The States' Liberty Party recall site is at www.RecallGrayDavis.INFO, and is not affiliated with the official recall effort.

The story of Gray Davis an his shoe shine boys calling us conservatives extremist is par for the course for the state of California an the anti-American hordes that live there. Only Communist or Marxist/Democrats would call us extremist because they are trying to tear down the foundation that this country was built on an subvert the will of the Citizens of California. We love the Fox political poll that shows only 23 percent white folks will vote Marxist/Democrat.

I thought that Arnold movies are not to be shown during the recall campaign period due to campaign rules. Well the Terminator was shown on TNT from 9:00pm to 10:30 on August 22, 2003. What about the rule of equal time.

Dear Feinstein

I really sympathize with you because you have a very difficult job right now. And it is a financial crisis that you did not directly create. However, as a result of NOT assertively tightening out borders, Hispanics are flooding to our country and burdening our precious resources and tax dollars. And this abuse is all at the expense of the California tax payer! You OWE it to the American citizens and tax payers to protect this state from crisis and bankruptcy.

I saw Diana Bonta (California Department of Health Services) on the "Today Show" (Feb.26, 03). Dishonest Hispanics abusing our system is a serious and escalating problem. This recent Dental/Medicare fraud scam is just another example of Hispanics abusing our state and pushing it toward bankruptcy. The hospitals and emergency rooms in border states such as CA are going bankrupt because of the unnecessary influx of Hispanics. And you do nothing about it. The fastest growing segment in California's prison population are LATINOS whom now require additional needs such as ESL classes all at the expense of the TAX PAYER. Approximately 80% of crimes are committed within one's own socio-economic group. One of the primary causes of death for Latino males ages 15-25 in Southern California ARE at the hands of other LATINOS. Hispanics routinely victimize other Hispanics in the greater LA area. HISPANIC gangs extort protection money (unlawful tax) from other honest harder working Hispanics who want to start their own business. In one case, David Montiel Cruz, an illegal immigrant who kidnapped a 9-year-old girl in San Jose, Calif., in June, had been arrested by police for auto theft and was found using multiple aliases. His illegal status was known to local officers, but San Jose police forbade cops from questioning the immigration status of suspects. In another case in Houston, Walter Alexander Sorto, ticketed several times for traffic violations, stands accused of the abduction, rape and murder of three women. "A 13-year-old girl, Laura Ayala, was abducted just days after Sorto had been charged with failure to appear in court; no arrest had been made. Recent blood evidence has linked him to her disappearance in addition to the slayings he and his associates had already been accused of." In Los Angeles County there were 164 Hispanic perpetrators of hate crimes in the county in 1997, compared to 119 white offenders, according to a study by University of Hawaii professor Karen Umemoto. Latinos are fast becoming the primary predators in California. This excess crime depletes our precious resources. One Latino organization recently criticized a non-Hispanic politician/congressman for publicly saying that he is opposed a low-income housing project in his downtown because it would then be flooded with Hispanics having babies and turn into a slum. He cited the example of a similar housing project in Santa Ana, CA. But instead calling attention to the economic waste and financial tax burden that those housing projects create, as a society we turn a blind eye to this very serious problem because it's too politically sensitive. But assertiveness, not sensitivity or vote pandering, is exactly what we need to get this state out of our financial crisis. I commend that politician/congressman. He ISN'T the one writing graffiti on walls, putting bullets in gangster's guns, shooting other Hispanics, or getting teenagers pregnant. All of this crime and waste are at the expense of the taxpayer! 28-year-old Kristopher William Eggle, a National Park Service ranger in the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona, was gunned down on Aug. 9, 02 by a dirty Mexican drug trafficker. It's absolutely shameful that this young man is not getting the national recognition and honor he deserves. We need to tighten our borders and reduce the services granted to illegal immigrants. I really hope that you emphasize that the predators of this recent Medicare Insurance crime are Hispanics. We need to educate the general public of this growing problem. And the future only looks bleaker because Hispanics will soon become the majority population, but yet the vast majority of them don't possess the skills, education, or the tax revenue potential to carry this state out of crisis. All we need to do is look at what Hispanics have done to Mexico! Do you want California to be as defunct and corrupt as Mexico? The American taxpayer is doing more to help Hispanics than the Mexican government. The greatest criticism should be levied at the Mexican government for not taking care of it's own people. Mexicans bail their own country like a sinking ship and that's because the Mexican government is DERELICT OF DUTY, GROSSLY NEGLIGENT, SHAMEFULLY CORRUPT, and SEVERELY INCOMPETENT. So who now becomes responsible for Mexico's incompetence? The California tax payer! HENCE, our current financial crisis.

You owe it to the American people to explain exactly why their health insurance costs keep going up, the state is going bankrupt, the prison budget is surpassing that of education, and why unlawful Hispanics are exploiting our limited and precious social services!! You need to do some homework and visit these links. We need to tighten our borders!

Please do your homework. Thank you,

Halderman
