With with one election-year out-of-the-way and another one coming up in the year 2012 one must ask why I am taking stabs at yet another bad sitting senator that is currently representing the great state of Utah with a full year before the actual campaigning for any politician starts? Well let me tell you briefly that Senator Orrin Hatch has been a sitting senator since 1977, and every six years when it is time for reelection, Senator Orrin Hatch always puts on a show of a new awaken conservative look to show the people of Utah that he has changed and that he deserves yet another term. Every time that Orrin Hatch has put on the show of a new conservative awakening “every six years” the people of Utah fail to look at is voting record, fail to judge him according to his works in accordance to the Constitution. So one could say I may have a chip on my shoulder? I like to consider this article that I am writing this article for you the voter to use in order to replace this very bad, very liberal, this 35 year senator who needs to do service to his family by coming home and retiring for good. Now one can also say, that calling someone a traitor is harsh words they may question this article because I use the term traitor? Well by writing this great article, I hope that you read everything that I had to say and investigate into all the grievances that the sitting senator has made against our constitutional rule of law and our freedoms that agree with me that Senator Orrin Hatch is a traitor needs to be replaced in 2012.
List of grievances–Senator Orrin Hatch:
The Counter Terrorism Act of 1995:
Now granted Senator Orrin Hatch was not a co–sponsor or sponsor on this bad piece of legislation, but he was sponsoring a bad piece of legislation that did exactly the same thing at the same time called Senate Bill 3 along with Senator Bob Dole at the time. Which violated our fourth, fifth, and sixth amendment rights. Before I continue on to the Patriot Act “which Orrin Hatch not only supported, but voted for” let me briefly read what our fourth amendment right is supposed to be. Amendment IV reads: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Gratefully all the hard work across the country by good outstanding patriots were successful at defeating these bad pieces of legislation until the Patriot Act of 2001. The Patriot Act of 2001 did multiple offenses toward our fourth fifth and sixth amendment rights, abolished habeas corpus, and did nothing for national defense, but yet the people allowed this to happen because of the grievous act that occurred on September 11th which would be fair to say that all of us do not want another September 11 and want our national defense secure against any attack from our enemies foreign and domestic.
Why is The Patriot Act bad?
Section 501 requires judges to issue source warrants for wiretaps upon application by federal agents, which if you read the fourth amendment which I stated in the previous paragraph you’ll find that the fourth amendment prohibits such actions. There are numerous instances in this act that create the specter of “secret orders”. For example, the clauses following the “shall” issue statement just noticed they the following: “(2) An order under this subsection shall not disclose that is issue for purposes of an investigation described in subsection (a). (d) No person shall disclose to any other person ( other than those persons necessary to produce the tangible things under this section) that the Federal Bureau of investigation has sought or obtained things under this section.” In fact wording such as what I mentioned just now throughout this entire act is very broad and absolutely could be applied to circumstances broader than terrorism, we must assume that the broadness of the statements was purposeful. In fact what else is scary about this entire act is that numerous instances throughout this bad piece of legislation, sounds, like “writs of assistance”. Which coincidentally “writs of assistance”just so happens to be one of the major reasons why the founders drafted the Declaration of Independence. Section 216 of this act reads: “Upon application…, The court shall enter an ex parte order authorizing the installation and use of pen register or trap and trace device anywhere within the United States, if the court finds that the attorney for the government has certify to the court that the information likely to be obtained by such installation and use is relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation. the order upon service of that order, shall apply to any person or entity providing wire or electronic communication service in the United States whose assistance may facilitate the execution of the order. Whenever such an order is served on any person or entity not specifically named in the order, upon request of such person or entity, the attorney for the government or law enforcement or investigative officer that is serving the order shall provide written or electronic search dictation that the order placed to the person or entity being served.”
Basically what this section means, is that any lawyer or law enforcement agency or officer needs to perform an illegal wiretap is to provide certification that it is for an ongoing criminal investigation. Sure you may be saying that this only applies to criminals, but if someone is falsely accused within it be nice if their fourth amendment rights were upheld? This act also places onerous burdens upon businesses to keep financial and other personal records on fellow Americans. Which is not only encouraging Americans to spy on one another, but it also creates a major financial burden on those businesses to keep those records to do the job of the federal government. But it also creates more bureaucracy for the federal government which is bankrupt and storing those records once they are received. This act also dramatically expand the federal government’s powers of surveillance, search, and arrest sets potential harmful precedents for future encroachments on personal liberty. For example all the recent uproar of the TSA’s pornographic body scanners and the touching grope-fest performed by TSA agents. This act also allows law enforcement to perform illegal “black bag” searches, meaning without a search warrant they can search any personal belongings without you even knowing and where in the fourth amendment that I stated earlier grants the federal government to do this? The illegal wiretapping I already have mentioned, but let me also share one more piece of information about this clause. That investigators can now wiretap multiple telephones used by single “subject” with just a simple single court order anywhere in the nation. Previously before this unconstitutional act passage in 2001 says wiretap orders were generally only allow within the jurisdiction of the judge issuing the order and were subject to can constrains the reduce the potential that the abuses would occur.
Health Care
For about the last two years, Senator Orrin Hatch has been condemning and fighting against ever so grievous unconstitutional socialized medicine bill that we all know as Obamacare. Now don’t get me wrong Orrin Hatch has been completely correct in his stance against Obamacare, it actually support his stance on Obamacare. However wouldn’t it be interesting to know that the Senator Orrin Hatch not only co-sponsored Medicare part D “which was the most grievous, biggest version of socialized medicine that America has ever seen”. He also sponsored CHIP which is a socialized healthcare plan for children nationwide. Course then again, it is no wonder why so many special interest large pharmaceutical corporations have donated thousands upon thousands of dollars to Orrin Hatch. Not to mention that the sitting Senator Orrin Hatch has a son that works as a lobbyist for PhARMA. Senator Orrin Hatch back in 1992 supported and co-sponsored yet another socialized medicine piece of legislation called The Health Security Act of 1992. In this piece of bad legislation the term the public option was used, I find this ironic since one of the main items of concern that Orrin Hatch had expressed about Obamacare was that it contained the public option. The thing I must ask any one of you that reads this great article as I mentioned big government, socialist medicine, bailouts, Tarp, is this. Where in the Constitution does it authorize the redistribution of wealth? What I mean by this question is this, taking funds from one in the means of taxation to give to someone else in means of good services or money.
Other such offenses.
Other Bad Legislation
In this next section I will try and get to as many with a very brief description of each bad piece of legislation that violates the Constitutional rule of law, starting from most recent to oldest.
FDA Food Safety Modernization Act “S510″ – Yes, I know what you are thinking and why I be opposed to food safety? This bill does not protect food for starters, but the federal government should have no business in regulating our food supply. In fact if you study Karl Marx and his teachings like I have done it talks about regulating the food supply of the people. Anyways back to the bill. This bill not only gives more intrusive power to the FDA, but it also mandates anyone who wants to do a bake sale to get a health the partner permit to do so or to sell carrots at farmers markets. It also prohibits any individual from growing their own garden for either resell purposes or used to feed their own families. Now you may say that the senator voted against this bad piece of legislation, however why is it then that Senator Orrin Hatch is listed as a co-sponsor? Why is it that the Senator Orrin Hatch was the defending this bad piece of legislation for half of the year in 2009, before the clear objection from his constituents only after the ousting of his good friend Senator Bob Bennett?
Confirmation Barbara Milano Keenan for Supreme Court Justice. Why is this lady, gay activist bad for the Supreme Court? Feel free to read this great article, on the site.
Confirmation Ben S. Bernanke To Be Chairman Of The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Yes, the same guy that thinks inflation is good.
Amendment to H.R. 3590 to protect and improve guaranteed Medicare benefits. Simple statement is, that this program was unconstitutional to begin with, and is actually one of many reasons why our health care is to damn high.
Confirmation of Cass R. Sunstein, of Mass., to be Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Whom I consider one of the most dangerous men in America today. But then again please listen to his own words in this video and judge for yourself.
The Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, this act is the federal government even more encroachment power upon the states in this day and age of the federal government owns majority of the land in each state for example out here in Utah the federal government owns about 85-90% of the land.
Confirmation Hillary Rodham Clinton, of New York, to be Secretary of State. Need I explain more about this poor choice?
Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 -This act allows the federal government to dictate to any one such employer that it is unlawful to terminate anyone according to how the federal government thinks is discriminatory. Let me just say that this completely violates the free market system if so someone doesn’t want to work for an certain employer but that person has the right to find a different line of work. But also that employer also has the right to hire and fire whom ever they please, and that employer does something wrong in how he terminate someone in the free market weeds that employer out of the marketplace.
Confirmation Timothy F. Geithner, of New York, to be Secretary of the Treasury. Why is this guy bad? Well I’ll let you listen to a couple videos and listen for yourself. Also listen to his own words. Not to mention he is a tax cheat.
Confirmation Daniel K. Tarullo, to be a Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Not only the Federal Reserve is it unconstitutional privatized banking needs to be abolished but this man also sports a one world currency.
Confirmation Eric H. Holder, Jr., of the District of Columbia, to be U.S. Attorney General. Need I say more?
Hatch Amdt. No. 80 to H.R. 2; To codify regulations specifying that an unborn child is eligible for child health assistance. This piece of legislation adds to the Social Security program, and according to the lies that Washington has told us all these years about Social Security about it being a retirement program. How is this act justifiable for retirement? Sounds to me like this is just another entitlement subsidiary.
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008- This infamous piece of legislation is better known as TARP.
The FISA Amendments Act of 2008 (also called the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008, Gee another bad piece of legislation that authorizes illegal wiretaps that can be extended to violate all American’s rights.
Then there was that moment when Senator Orrin Hatch voted to censor the internet, last November.
I can keep going and going and going, all it takes is just a little bit of time to look over 35 years of settlements time in the U.S. Senate. Most of what I spoke about today in this article happen with in just the last two years of course with some exceptions. I plan on giving you a link to the actual senator’s website which lists every piece of legislation he has voted on or against within the last five years. Lastly, I like to explain to near death experience that our Constitution almost faced back in 1987 thanks to our Senator Orrin Hatch. That experience was regarding his balanced-budget amendment that he has proposed every year for the last 35 years in the U.S. Senate instead of doing what is right and fighting to cut spending dramatically. When this flawed amendment to the Constitution of the United States failed in the early 80s, Senator Orrin Hatch then start twisting the arms and encouraging the Utah state legislatures to call for constitutional convention, and this movement moved our nation into almost seeing that convention occur in 1987 where we got within two states of having that convention. Luckily Utah rescinded their call in 2001, along with other states in different years making the count to approximately 9 states now. So now you can see just a little bit of reasons why Senator Orrin Hatch is a traitor to U.S. Constitution and the longer he stays in Washington the more our Constitution will be undermined. So please I beg of you, continue to do your research on top of the research I have gave you today in this article and look towards someone else to replace the sitting 35 year senator.
