Because Professional politicians see it the other way around does not make it true, or right.
Neither a Badge, Nor a 6-Figure Government Paycheck, Give Petty Tyrants the Authority to Violate Your Rights.
For the purpose of Section 242, acts under “color of law” include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official’s lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim.
The American system is Rule by Law, not Rule by Men. However, city and state-level petty tyrants are having people arrested, jailed, and fined–not for breaking actual laws (real lawbreakers are being let loose on society); but for violating the emperial edicts of professional politicians.
Under Rule of Law, our public servants, whatever office they hold, are not exempt from the law themselves. They must not only uphold the law, but also obey it just like the barber or restaurant owner on Main Street, USA. These professional politicians (who have been caught breaking their own “rules” that citizens get arrested for) have no authority to issue these decrees that violate your rights (as protected by actual law); no citizen is obligated to obey them; and no court is obligated to enforce them, even though they have “the color of law.”
That some courts are enforcing these illegal orders tells you, quite blatantly, that they are not operating according to the Constitution (which they swear to uphold and which is the law of the land). Their allegiance is actually to something other than the law of our country, and they are operating according to that, instead.
They get away with it because most of the people living here let them. They obediently bend over and drop their pants.
But there is a growing minority who will not bend over, and they are armed. This is why the Cold Civil War might turn hot.
UPDATE: On a California beach, of all places, some people stood up for their right to peaceably assemble (1st Amendment). It would be nice to see patriots unite for the right to go to Church (also 1st Amendment) or conduct business, but maybe this is a start.
