Episode 769: Confirmations, Constitutions, and Conventions

Dan Clements, Your Constitutional Warrior Monday April 3, 2017

Today we will see if judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination will come out of committee and go to the full Senate for confirmation. Democrats have threatened a filibusterer, and are calling out the Republicans for even thinking about taking the nuclear option. Lest we forget Harry Reid-D did just that in 2013, Senate goes for nuclear option-Politico. As usual, the Democrats want it both ways and are made when rules they invoked are used against them.

The Constitution Party is having it’s Spring 2017 National Committee Meeting in St. Louis May 5-6. The keynote speaker will be Constitution Party VP nominee Dr. Scott Bradley and he will be addressing the topic of “The Perils of a Con-Con”. We have spoken at length on my program about how I disagree with my party on this subject, but I look forward to hearing Dr. Bradley address this issue once again.

Finally, the Convention of States project is moving ever closer to their goal of calling a convention of states to address the short comings that the founding fathers knew would exist because they knew they were not all knowing. In order to drain the swamp, some fundamental changes need to be made on how our government operates, and return the stolen power of the states and the people back to where it rightfully belongs!!!

Daily Bible reading: Act 10:39-43 And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42 And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. 43 To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.”

Quotemeal: “Christ, having sacrificed himself once, is to eternity a certain and valid sacrifice for the sins of all faithful.” — Huldrych Zwingli
