Can it ever be a crime to expose gov acts that are UNCONSTITUTIONAL? Daniel Ellsberg - VIDEO

56. In our system, the Supreme Court is the arbiter of what is or is not Constituitonal...

For everyone else, it is an opinion.

Now, an appellate judge or a Constitutional Scholar has a well informed opinion, but it is opinion none the less, and everybody's got one.

There are people who are of the opinion that Obama is violating the Constitution because he was born in Kenya and is going to come into their house and take their guns. What can they do to expose what is in their opinion an egregious violation of the Constitution? Clearly, mailing Ricin to members of the government is not a way to expose what they see as UNCONSTITUTIONAL acts.

What can a Sovereign citizen do to expose what he sees as the unconstitutional act of a police officer writing him a ticket or a Census worker demanding he fill out his census papers? Shooting people who are doing things that he thinks is UNCONSTITUTIONAL is against the law.

Yes, it can be a crime to expose gov acts that are UNCONSTITUTIONAL if one breaks other laws to do it. A common citizen in our representative democracy does not have the authority to decide something is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. He has the right to act within the law.

Now, I think there should be stronger protections for whistleblowers. There also should be a way their concerns can be investigated by someone who is not part of what they think might be UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
