Disclaimer: This site exists for the exploratory and practical purposes of empowering and proving theoretical and applicable consent powers in the 9th Amendment and Declaration of Independence, even the writings of the founding fathers, for the protection of the Constitution against the threats posed by enemies both foreign and domestic, now evident. It is acknowledged and conceded that such powers are largely untested in court and congress, and mostly undefined outside of this exercise. It is somewhat legally ambiguous to work inside of the current system of jurisprudence and federal governance while simultaneously holding it accountable against the missteps of both major parties to the chagrin of conflicts of interest by legal counsel and absence of law to fill those gaps. In the respect that such exploratory authority has no real enforcement outside of partially successful recall and attempts to petition courts and officials, as a matter of course and law is limited. It is a peaceful endeavor, else irreparable harm exists in crossing the line of unthinkable and unimaginable risk. However, in gaining traction politically, some of our positions and petitions have been instrumental in changing policy and practice while supplanting and mitigating both authoritarian and dictatorial rule, yet simultaneously stopping misguided egregious laws and corrupt acts from taking root by bringing them to light and forcing the issue to bear. We have also recently filed a lawsuit to further these aims. In effect, we have kept unrestrained power at bay and found safe harbor for liberty. And, we continue this fight so long as it remains in our purview and destiny. ~Stephen L. Rush Constitutional Defender
