The American Republic, July 4, 2025

 

 - by New Deal democrat


From the Declaration of Independence:


When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the options of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The history of the present King … is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.


He has refused his Assent to Laws… 

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance…

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures…

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world…

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury… 
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences….

In the past year, the Supreme Court has declared:

That the President is a de facto King, above the law.

That the President’s abolition of birthright citizenship can stand unrestrained.

That the President may arrest and deport people to any third country willing to take them, without any due process.
