A Legal Basis For Resistance

A legal basis for lawful Resistance and Rebellion--

The powers of the President and the Executive Branch derive from the Constitution. If the President and his Agents are acting in an illegal and unconstitutional manner, then their authority is null and void. No illegal or unconstitutional action can therefore be "official", and the Supreme Court doctrine that asserts a President can commit illegal actions while in office is defunct and should be once again challenged in the courts and in the streets, if necessary.

A relevant excerpt from the Declaration of Independence, the founding document of our Nation--

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."

Our lives, our liberties, and our pursuit of happiness are being threatened by this rogue fascist regime. We have the right to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government. If they are going to subvert the law, violate the Constitution, and destroy our government, we have the right to resist and to establish a new government. We are the people and we do not consent to this false and despotic regime.
