"If someone's constitutional rights are infringed, it's up to the courts to take action, not this board," Kelly said.
Au contraire. If someone's constitutional rights are infringed, the injury has already occurred. The purpose of these resolutions is to preempt that violation of rights.
Kelly's statement puts the cart before the horse; in real terms, people's lives will be ruined with little to no probability of being rebuilt.
Case in point: Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. His reputation has been destroyed, his lifetime of accrued assets totally depleted, and even if his case is reversed and/or thrown out, he's SCREWED.
That is not what life in America is supposed to be like.
It's atrocious, and unacceptable. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
