Crime is crime. There is no need to label it any other way. Using the word Hate before the word Crime doesn't change anything.
We have allowed our government to pervert our justice system so badly that simple, but accurate, definitions no longer suffice to trigger a proper response tot he crime committed.
How is hate murder any more lethal or serious than murder? I would argue that there has always been hate present in every murderer since Cain killed Abel.
There is no reason why they need to wait 13 years. Here are some of my ideas on how to eliminate State income and property taxes on citizens. Every State could do this::
-
Require a 100% accounting of all the money, expenditures, of every department, program, or agency with unconstitutional spending. If the State Constitution doesn't specifically delegate it, then it must be abolished.
-
Publish the actual cost to run the State government annually with full disclosure and transparency, once #5 has been completed.
-
Establish a minimum of a $1,000,000,000.00 emergency fund that cannot be used for anything other than legitimate State emergencies. Any funds used must be replenished within the span of 4 years of being used.
-
Secure all State Elections 100%. Make it a capital crime to tamper with or commit fraud in the elections.
-
Reduce the State Government to the size and scope the intended when they wrote the State Constitution. Eliminate all departments, all agencies, all programs, all projects, and all roles not specifically delegated to the State Government through its Constitution. End all forms of State welfare, including foreign aid (if any), corporate aid, and domestic welfare programs. This will eliminate most unconstitutional spending. It will also shrink the government back to the size and scope originally intended. All departments and delegated powers that belong to the States will be funded 100% by those States, no federal dollars will be used.
-
Eliminate all State, county, and local taxes on citizens across the board. No other income taxes on citizens of any type at the State level. This includes any form of property tax, and every single State consumption tax: gasoline, diesel, communications, water, etc.
-
Enact sensible tariffs / taxes on any foreign trade, only as approved by the U.S. congress (if any). All excess funds over what is required to fund the limited government would go to paying off the State debt. Once that debt is paid off, all surplus funds would be evenly distributed to all State Citizens at the end of each year, with the exception of replenishing the emergency fund in #3 above.
-
Enact a flat 2.5% tax on businesses, but only on revenue over $1,000,000.00. Cap business tax at a maximum of 5% total when including county, city, and local government business taxes. This would allow small business owners plenty of breathing room to establish and grow a small business to a point of success allowing it to thrive once it was subject to the State flat tax. All excess funds over what is required to fund the limited government would go to paying off the State, County, City, or Local government debt. Once that debt is paid off, all surplus funds would be evenly distributed to all State, County, City, or local Citizens at the end of each year, with the exception of replenishing the emergency fund in #3 above. All other State and County government fee's or charges for businesses owned by citizens of the State would be eliminated. Government is not intended to generate profits, only raise enough revenue to cover the actual cost of running a small and efficient government.
-
Enact a flat 1.5% State sales tax on any non-exempt purchase. The sales tax is capped to a total of 3% which includes county, city, and local sales taxes sharing the additional 1.5%. All excess funds over what is required to fund the limited government would go to paying off the State, County, City, or Local government debt. Once that debt is paid off, all surplus funds would be evenly distributed to all State, County, City, or local Citizens at the end of each year, with the exception of replenishing the emergency fund in #3 above. All other government fee's or charges for businesses must not be more than the actual cost. Government is not intended to generate profits, only raise enough revenue to cover the actual cost of running a small and efficient government. (Food, groceries, water, weapons, ammunition, gasoline, diesel fuel, oil, water, natural gas, propane, utilities, and clothing to be tax exempt)
-
Enact a 2.5% State flat income tax on all non-citizens. If they earn their U.S. citizenship, they would no longer be subject to that income tax. Cap the non-citizen flat income tax at a maximum of 5% total when including County, City, and Local government taxes. All excess funds over what is required to fund the limited government would go to paying off the State, County, City, or Local government debt. Once that debt is paid off, all surplus funds would be evenly distributed to all State, County, City, or local Citizens at the end of each year, with the exception of replenishing the emergency fund in #3 above, and funding the deportation of illegal aliens apprehended or extradited within the State borders. (Would be funding the cost of incarcerating and feeding illegal aliens caught in the State, and transporting them to the nearest available federal illegal immigrant detention center.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting recurring taxes on any type of property. This would prohibit government from infringing on the natural right to actually 100% own property.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment forbidding all non-citizens, all foreign governments, and all foreign companies from purchasing / owning any land or any other real estate within the State. If they already do own some, they have to sell it within 12 months of the ratification of the Amendment. If it is not sold, it will be taken through Eminent domain, and sold at auction to State Citizens, and not to government or corporations.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment establishing English as the official language of The State. Prohibit any government forms, publications, etc., to be printed in any language other than English.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment mandating that the Governor has Line Item Veto power.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment mandating only single issue Bills can be introduced, and all Bills / Laws must be simple, short, and easily understood by any citizen with a high school level of education.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment requiring all deals and all votes in the Legislative Branch be public. The public will see who voted on what, who voted, or didn't, and how each member voted. No more secret backroom deals, and no more secret votes.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment recognizing in every State, County, or Municipal court that jurors are the sole judges of the law and the facts.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment mandating everyone working for the state government, elected or appointed, to be audited by an independent agency every 2 years. This includes all judges, all elected representatives, Governors and Vice Governors, as well as all cabinet members, and all department heads and managers. Make the penalty for violations of their oath or the law expulsion / termination and a lifetime ban from ever again working in the State government, or holding State office. For more serious violations, the penalty should be felony prison time.
-
Make it a capital crime for anyone in State government to misappropriate, steal, or misuse State government funds. If you betray your oath and the public trust you should have pay the penalty of forfeiting your life.
-
Privatize all eligible services and functions that do not require government.
-
Privatize education (Trades, Pre-K through 12th, and college / university, with State oversight on minimum required educational standards. Encourage school choice based upon merit and performance.
-
No more prosecuting victimless "crimes". If you couple this with repealing all unconstitutional federal weapons laws, and laws against forming local militia's, these actions would save millions to billions of dollars annually, while increasing the safety / security of State Citizens.
-
Require anyone elected, appointed, volunteering, or employed by the State government, in any capacity, to watch the 6-hour U.S. Constitution class taught by Michael Badnarik before they take their Oath of Office. Make the penalty of betraying that oath punishable by prison and a lifetime ban from ever working in the government, or holding office. Video Link: https://youtube.com/watch?v=wp-48d_jSb4
-
Require anyone elected, appointed, volunteering, or employed by the State government, in any capacity, to learn this simple, but critical, principle before they take their Oath of Office. Make the penalty of betraying that oath punishable by expulsion and a lifetime ban from ever again working in the government, or holding office: https://mises.org/articles-interest/not-yours-give
The federal government was never delegated any police powers. Those were exclusively for the States.
As far as police are concerned, we would still need some, but not near what we have today. Certainly not in the form we see them today, either. No militarization of police.
As far as the military, we would not need a large standing force, just a small full-time force, with some reserves and the national guard to augment the defenses of our borders and coasts.
The Militia needs to be fully restored to what was originally intended and established by the framers of our Constitution. The Militia was the primary check and balance against government tyranny. This quote is regarding the fact that government would be foolish to commit tyranny on the People armed and ready to hold them to account:
“When the government fears the people there is liberty; when the people fear the government there is tyranny.” ~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President
We need to seriously start considering forming local militia's in every community around America. I am a firm believer in the fact that we all have a spiritual, moral, and personal responsibility to protect ourselves, our families, our property, and our communities. Everyone should be armed, and fully trained in the use of the weapons they choose to own and use. Everyone should have emergency plans in place for their households, and should be rehearsing these plans with their families to the point that if something were to happen, everyone knows their role, and what they are supposed to do in SHTF situation.
Taken to the next level, if you have good and dependable neighbors, is a neighborhood plan to coordinate defensive actions across larger areas of responsibility. The recent events in the Southeastern United States should make it very plain why this would be a wise course of action, not only for defense, but for coming tot he aid of our communities in times like these.
We need to relearn what it is to be neighbors and build communities of people who care about each other and protect & take care of each other. Neighbors that have each others backs.
When seconds count, the government (including police) are minutes away. In events like this last hurricane, government is either absent, or if they do show up, dictatorial in their response. When tyrannical government is involved, they will be even slower to respond or help. Just look at how Biden & Harris are handling the aftermath of the latest hurricane to devastate the southeastern United States.
I believe that we should form local community militias and form regional militia networks in each state. These militias would train together on a regular basis. They would support each other to protect their communities and citizens from government tyranny, invasions, etc.
With the threat of internal attacks in American communities, this is more important than ever. We are in more danger within our borders today than we have ever been at any other time in the history of our Republic. Not since the War of 1812, and the Revolutionary War, have we faced the threat of attacks domestically, and within our cities, suburbs, and communities.
By doing this, we no longer have to rely on government. We can help ourselves, and our communities. More importantly, we would no longer be subject to early morning raids by police on members of our own communities. No more innocent Americans killed by no-knock warrants, nor due to LE going to the wrong address and shooting innocent people. The power would be returned to the people, where it always belonged.
I can agree, however, there will need to be someone collecting the tariffs. Abolish the IRS, and establish an all-new External Revenue Service (ERS) with no police powers, just accountants.
Not on non-citizens. I also took the founding fathers advice on how much is too much:
“It would be thought a hard government that should tax its people one tenth part.” ~ Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) US Founding Father
Citizens do not pay a federal income tax in my proposal, just like our Founders intended.
Lately, it is all I think about. As I come up with new additions that pass the Constitutional litmus test, I add or amend these proposals. I have another one geared for the States, as well.
That is 100% a violation of their rights, as long as they are American citizens. I cannot support this, and neither can anyone who believes in the Constitution.
What if all 77 million people that voted MAGA united to boycott paying federal income taxes until these conditions were met:
-
A 100% full forensic accounting of all the money, expenditures, of every department, program, or agency with unconstitutional spending is provided to the American People. If the Constitution doesn't specifically delegate it, then it must be abolished. Require that the federal budget be balanced every year.
-
Publish the actual cost to run the federal government through an annual forensic audit with full disclosure and transparency, once #5 has been completed.
-
Establish a $1,000,000,000,000.00 federal emergency fund that is used only for legitimate emergencies. Any funds used must be replenished within the span of 4 years of being used.
-
Secure all Federal Elections 100%. Make it a capital crime to tamper with or commit fraud in our elections.
-
Reduce the federal government to the size and scope the founding fathers intended when they wrote the Constitution.

-
Eliminate all federal taxes on American citizens across the board. No other income taxes on citizens of any type at the federal level. This includes every form of property tax, and every single federal consumption tax: gasoline, diesel, communications, water, etc.
-
End all entangling alliances with foreign nations. This includes the U.N., NATO, WEF, and any other alliance or treaty that interferes with our sovereignty and independence. End all Treaties that are not favorable to the USA, or compromise our sovereignty in any way.
-
Enact sensible tariffs on foreign trade, just as the framers of our Constitution intended. All excess funds over what is required to fund the limited federal government would go to paying off the federal debt. Once that debt is paid off, all surplus funds would be evenly distributed to all American Citizens at the end of each year, with the exception of replenishing the emergency fund in #3 above.

Enact a 5% federal flat income tax on all non-citizens living in our country. If they earn their citizenship, they would no longer be subject to that income tax. All excess funds over what is required to fund the limited government would go to paying off the federal debt. Once that debt is paid off, all surplus funds would be evenly distributed to all American Citizens at the end of each year, with the exception of replenishing the emergency fund in #3 above, and funding the deportation of illegal aliens apprehended or extradited within our borders.
-
Charge $100,000.00 for a four year student visa, and $200,000.00 for a 4 year H1-B Visa. Include the President Trump's Gold Card Visa program by charging $5,000,000.00 for this visa to qualified foreigners, with a cap of 2 million Gold Card Visas issued at any one time. Taking American school slots and American jobs is going to cost non-citizens. Any person, company, or school that is caught using any visa fraudulently will be fined $250,000.00 per incident for Student and H1-B, and $1 million for Gold Card Visa's. These funds would help defray the cost of deporting illegal immigrants. All excess funds over what is required to fund the limited government would go to paying off the federal debt. Once that debt is paid off, all surplus funds would be evenly distributed to all American Citizens at the end of each year, with the exception of replenishing the emergency fund in #3 above. Any person in the United States on a Visa is subject to having their Visa revoked immediately for engaging in unethical or illegal conduct or activities, or for any act or participation in protests against the United States of America. This includes stealing, damaging, desecrating, or destroying our flag, or advocating the violation or overthrow of our Constitution.
-
Require all legal immigrants to live within the United States for 14 years before allowing them to become a U.S. Citizen (8 years for those married to a U.S. citizen, or for a minimum of 8 years honorable military service). During this time they must earn their citizenship and prove they truly intend to become an American, to include passing an exam proving they are 100% proficient in the English Language. They would also be required to pass an extensive exam covering true American history, the principles upon which our Constitutional Republic was established, and have a thorough knowledge of our Constitution, and our federal government. They would be required to watch the video series listed in #30. This would also eliminate most green card scammers, green card divorces, etc.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment establishing English as the official language of These United States of America. Prohibit any government forms, publications, etc., to be printed in any language other than English.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment forbidding all non-citizens, all foreign governments, and all foreign companies from purchasing / owning any land or any other real estate. If they already do own some, they have to sell it within 12 months of the ratification of the Amendment. If it is not sold, it will be taken through Eminent domain, and sold at auction to State Citizens, and not to government or corporations.
-
Eliminate Social Security, and the Social Security Administration. This could be done by establishing a "cut-off" age. Anyone over that age gets to finish out their Social Security payments. Anyone under that age gets all of the money they put in over the years refunded in a lump sum payment that is not taxed. They would also receive a full refund of their spouses contributions, if they are deceased. This could easily be funded by all the other unconstitutional expenditures that would be stopped, as noted in #5 above. Anyone that did not pay into SS will not get SS. Once the unconstitutional / socialist program finishes paying out, then it would be forever abolished.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment mandating that the President has Line Item Veto power.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment mandating only single issue Bills can be introduced, and all Bills / Laws must be simple, short, and easily understood by any citizen with a high school level of education.

Make the penalty for violations of their oath or the law expulsion / termination and a lifetime ban from ever again working in the government, or holding office. For more serious violations, the penalty should be felony prison time.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting recurring taxes on any type of property. This would prohibit government from infringing on the natural right to actually 100% own property.
-
Re-task the IRS to collect non-citizen income tax, tariffs, and the business taxes. Take away their "police" powers (No guns or arrest power), and make them the accountants and auditors they were created to be.
-
Privatize the USPS by selling it. Retain all government specific tasks (passports, etc.) by moving them under other Constitutionally delegated departments.
-
Enact a Constitutional amendment to impeach any federal judge, including sitting SCOTUS Justices, for failing to render decisions in accordance with the Constitution. The interpretation of the laws is the proper and peculiar province of the courts. A constitution is in fact, and must be, regarded by the judges as a fundamental law. It therefore belongs to them to ascertain its meaning as well as the meaning of any particular act proceeding from the legislative body. If there should happen to be an irreconcilable variance between the two, that which has the superior obligation and validity ought of course to be preferred; or in other words, the constitution ought to be preferred to the statute, the intention of the people to the intention of their agents. On every question of construction of the Constitution let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or intended against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment limiting all federal judges to 6 year terms in office, with a maximum of 2 terms of office in the Judicial Branch.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment eliminating any requirements of a law degree, or any legal experience, to be elected or appointed as a federal judge. This applies to all levels of federal courts, including the SCOTUS. Instead, candidates are required to have an inviolable reverence and extensive knowledge and understanding of the Constitution, and the principles upon which the framers of the Constitution established our Republic. #30 and #31 are particularly important for federal judges to understand and master.
-
Enact a Constitutional Amendment requiring all candidates for any elected or appointed federal office be a natural born citizen to be eligible, and can't hold any other citizenship. These requirements apply to hold a security clearance or to be employed (to include volunteers) within the federal government.
-
Make it a capital crime for anyone in government to misappropriate, steal, or misuse our government funds, in any manner. Same principle as if you robbed a bank. The difference is it is a government public trust situation, and should have the penalty of forfeiting the life of any guilty party.
-
Require anyone elected, appointed, volunteering, or employed by the federal government, in any capacity, to watch the 6-hour Constitution class taught by Michael Badnarik before they take their Oath of Office. Make the penalty of betraying that oath punishable by prison and a lifetime b
I am all for this, and feel it goes well with my own proposals on how to regain control over our government and force it to operate within the very narrow and limited framework of the Constitution.
How could we make sure this happens? What if all 77 million people that voted MAGA united and boycotted paying federal income taxes until these conditions were met:

Make it a capital crime for anyone in government to misappropriate, steal, or misuse our government funds, in any manner. Same principle as if you robbed a bank. The difference is it is a government public trust situation,
It is time to form militias again, and to refuse to accept laws and rulings that violate the limits of power delegated to government.
You realize that it wasn't individual patriots that held the government in check, it was individual patriots united in militias that did that.
“ 'The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the milita, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right.” ~ Nunn vs. State 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251(1846)
“The object of this clause [the right of the people to keep and bear arms] is to secure a well-armed militia.... But a militia would be useless unless the citizens were enabled to exercise themselves in the use of warlike weapons. To preserve this privilege, and to secure to the people the ability to oppose themselves in military force against the usurpations of government, as well as against enemies from without, that government is forbidden by any law or proceeding to invade or destroy the right to keep and bear arms.” ~ John Norton Pomeroy (1828-1885) American lawyer, legal writer An Introduction to the Constitutional Law of the United States 239, at 152 (New York, Hurd & Houghton 3d ed., rev. & enl. 1875).
“It is always dangerous to the liberties of the people to have an army stationed among them, over which they have no control ... The Militia is composed of free Citizens. There is therefore no danger of their making use of their Power to the destruction of their own Rights, or suffering others to invade them.” ~ Samuel Adams (1722-1803), was known as the "Father of the American Revolution." 3 Samuel Adams, Writings 251 (Henry A. Cushing Ed., 1906).
“The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers delegated directly to the citizen, and is excepted out of the general powers of government. A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power.” ~ Cockrum v. State 24 Tex.394, at 401-402 (1859)
“While the people have property, arms in their hands, and only a spark of noble spirit, the most corrupt Congress must be mad to form any project of tyranny.” ~ Rev. Nicholas Collin (1746-1831) Episcopal pastor, friend of Benjamin Franklin Fayetteville Gazette (N.C.), October 12, 1789
“The right is general. It may be supposed from the phraseology of this provision that the right to keep and bear arms was only guaranteed to the militia; but this would be an interpretation not warranted by the intent. The militia, as has been explained elsewhere, consists of those persons who, under the law, are liable to the performance of military duty, and are officered and enrolled for service when called upon. . . . [I]f the right were limited to those enrolled, the purpose of the guarantee might be defeated altogether by the action or the neglect to act of the government it was meant to hold in check. The meaning of the provision undoubtedly is, that the people, from whom the militia must be taken, shall have the right to keep and bear arms, and they need no permission or regulation of law for that purpose.” ~ Thomas Cooley (1824-1898) 25th Justice and a Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court (1864-1885) General Principles of Constitutional Law, Third Edition, 1898
“Whereas civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as military forces, which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms.” ~ Tench Coxe (1755-1824) American political economist Writing as "A Pennsylvanian," in "Remarks On The First Part Of The Amendments To The Federal Constitution," in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789, p.2 col.1
“The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American ... the unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.” ~ Tench Coxe (1755-1824) American political economist Pennsylvania Gazette, February 20, 1788
“The militia, who are in fact the effective part of the people at large, will render many troops quite unnecessary. They will form a powerful check upon the regular troops, and will generally be sufficient to over-awe them” ~ Tench Coxe (1755-1824) American political economist An American Citizen IV, October 21, 1787
“What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. ...Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.” ~ Elbridge Gerry (1744-1814) of Massachusetts, Signer of the Declaration of Independence and Member of the Constitutional Convention spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment, I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17, 1789
“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense...” ~ Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) American statesman, Secretary of the Treasury The Federalist Papers, No. 28
“The great object is, that every man be armed.” ~ Patrick Henry (1736-1799) US Founding Father
“Have we the means of resisting disciplined armies, when our only defence, the militia, is put in the hands of Congress?” ~ Patrick Henry (1736-1799) US Founding Father
“It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.” ~ Justice Robert H. Jackson (1892-1954), U. S. Supreme Court Justice US Supreme Court, American Communications Association v. Douds, 339 U.S. 382, 442 (1950)
“For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well organized and armed militia is their best security.” ~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President Eighth Annual Message, November 8, 1808
“What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.” ~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President November 13, 1787, letter to William S. Smith, quoted in Padover's Jefferson On Democracy, ed., 1939
“The people are not to be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full possession of them.” ~ Zachariah Johnson June 25, 1788, Virginia Constitutional Ratification Convention. Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, Jonathan Elliot, ed., v.3 p.646 (Philadelphia, 1836)
“A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves...and include all men capable of bearing arms.” ~ Richard Henry Lee (1732-1794) Founding Father Additional Letters from the Federal Framer (1788) at p. 169
“An efficient militia is authorized and contemplated by the Constitution and required by the spirit and safety of free government.” ~ James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President Eighth Annual Message, December 3, 1816
“It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens, and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle.” ~ James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President "A Memorial and Remonstrance", 1785: Works 1:163
“Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it.” ~ James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President Federalist #46, January 29, 1788
“Americans need never fear their government because of the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation.” ~ James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President
“That the people have a Right to mass and to bear arms; that a well regulated militia composed of the Body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper natural and safe defense of a free State...” ~ George Mason (1725-1792), drafted the Virgina Declaration of Rights, ally of James Madison and George Washington Within Mason's declaration of "the essential and unalienable Rights of the People," -- drafted by Thomas Jefferson, George Mason and others, and later adopted by the Virginia ratification convention, 1788
“Who are the militia, if they be not the people of this country...? I ask, who are the militia? They consist of now of the whole people, except a few public officers.” ~ George Mason (1725-1792), drafted the Virgina Declaration of Rights, ally of James Madison and George Washington in the Virginia Convention on the ratification of the Constitution, June 16, 1788, in_Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution,_ Jonathan Elliot, ed., v.3 p.425 (Philadelphia, 1836)
“Of the liberty of conscience in matters of religious faith, of speech and of the press; of the trial by jury of the vicinage in civil and criminal cases; of the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus; of the right to keep and bear arms.... If these rights are well defined, and secured against encroachment, it is impossible that government should ever degenerate into tyranny.” ~ James Monroe (1758-1831), 5th US President
“A 'well regulated militia' was thus one that was well-trained and equipped, not one that was 'well-regulated' in the modern sense of being subjected to numerous government prohibitions and restrictions.” ~ Glenn Harlan Reynolds (1960-)
Impeachment is not the only legitimate and Constitutional method to remove corrupt and/or incompetent judges.
You also have the investigative and prosecution method, as stated above by WinsAnon. But there are also other ways.
Another remedy people have forgotten is Quo Warranto. The common law writ of quo warranto has been suppressed at the federal level in the United States, and deprecated at the state level, but remains a right under the Ninth Amendment which was understood and presumed by the Founders, and which affords the only judicial remedy for violations of the Constitution by public officials and agents. A critical key to achieving federal constitutional compliance is to resurrect quo warranto and other common law writs. This involves reasserting and strengthening the original All-Writs Act and repealing or declaring unconstitutional legislation, such as the Anti-Injunction Act, and those Rules of Judicial Procedure, that have restricted the jurisdiction of federal courts to accept petitions for these writs and grant a fair hearing ("oyer") and a decision on the merits ("terminer") on such petitions.
Quo warranto - the legal term for a writ (order) used to challenge another's right to either public or corporate office or challenge the legality of a corporation's charter. When the authority of an offical or corporation to take action is challenged, a quo warranto action may be used to demand that the right upon which they base the action be stated.
Why is this important to you? Because Quo Warranto, like Jury Nullification, is one of the most powerful remedies available to the people against government abuses of power.
There is also:
Writ of Prohibition - "Prohibition is a process by which a superior court prevents an inferior court or tribunal possessing judicial or quasi-judicial powers from exceeding it's jurisdiction in matters over which it has cognizance or usurping matters not within it's jurisdiction to hear or determine. A means of restraint on judicial personnel or bodies to prevent usurpation of judicial power, and it's essential function is to confine inferior courts to their proper jurisdiction and to prevent them from acting without or in excess of their jurisdiction; it is preventive in nature rather than corrective." - Black Law Dictionary Sixth Edition id 842
And, finally, We, the People, have the right to directly remove anyone from office that is in breach of their duty and their oath. The Declaration of Independence clearly states this. Government has no power, except for what we allow it to have. That, unfortunately, is not common knowledge today, as it was in the days of the founders of our Republic. Regardless, it doesn't make it any less true.
If the 2020 Presidential election cannot be proven with the Republicans having control of the Presidency, as well as both chambers of Congress, then it will never happen under our government.
That will leave The People convening our own Grand Jury, and referring to DOJ the charges, as the only legitimate way left to make it happen.
Once the 2020 election is proven to have been stolen, everything done under the usurper Biden is null and void.

The States are one of the checks and balances against federal tyranny. When that fails, it falls upon the only source of all government power.
“Constitutions are violated, and it would be absurd to expect the federal government to enforce the Constitution against itself. If the very federal judges the Constitution was partly intended to restrain were the ones exclusively charged with enforcing it, then “America possesses only the effigy of a Constitution.” The states, the very constituents of the Union, had to do the enforcing.” ~ John Taylor (1753-1824) usually called John Taylor of Caroline, served in the Virginia House of Delegates, US Senator, writer, political pamphleteer c. 1790
This is one of the primary reasons we are supposed to have local militia's to protect our communities. The Framers of our Constitution understood the dangers that we would need to defend against, and this is one of them.
The U.S. Constitution is the one, and only, Supreme Law of the Land. Sharia law is not compatible, in any way, with the Constitution. In fact, the whole concept of Sharia law goes against the principles upon which our Republic was established.
We have allowed our government to severely hurt our ability to handle these matters, as intended by the framers of our Constitution.
We have no militia's left to speak of, thanks to our government villainizing them with their propaganda and false rhetoric. A gross violation of the prohibition of government infringement of our preexisting God-given right.
The solution, in my opinion? We need to seriously start considering forming local militia's in every community around America, just as intended by the founders of our Constitutional Republic. These would not be controlled by government, but could choose to assist government, if requested.
I am a firm believer in the fact that we all have a spiritual, moral, and personal responsibility to protect ourselves, our families, our property, and our communities from all threats.
Everyone should be armed and fully trained in the use of the weapons they choose to own and use. Everyone should have emergency plans in place for their households, and should be rehearsing these plans with their families to the point that if something were to happen, everyone knows their role, and what they are supposed to do in SHTF situation.
Taken to the next level, if you have good and dependable neighbors, is a neighborhood plan to coordinate defensive actions across larger areas of responsibility. The recent events in the Southeastern United States, as well as the cartel activity along our borders, should make it very plain why this would be a wise course of action, not only for defense, but for coming to the aid of our communities in times like these. We need to relearn what it is to be neighbors and build communities of people who care about each other and protect & take care of each other. Neighbors that have each others backs.
When seconds count, the government (including police) are minutes away. In events like this last hurricane, government is either absent, or if they do show up, dictatorial in their response. When tyrannical government is involved, they will be even slower to respond or help. Just look at how Biden & Harris handled the aftermath of the latest hurricane to devastate the southeastern United States, and their slow response to the cartel and foreign gangs committing acts of terror against our communities.
I believe that we should form local community militias as well as form regional militia networks in each state. These militias would train together on a regular basis. They would support each other to protect their communities and citizens from criminals, gangs, government tyranny, invasions, etc.
With the real threat of attacks on Americans, this is more important than ever. We are in more danger within our borders today than we have ever been at any other time in the history of our Republic. Not since the War of 1812, and the Revolutionary War, have we faced the threat of foreign attacks domestically, and within our cities, suburbs, and communities. By restoring our right to form militia's, we no longer have to rely on government. We can help ourselves, and our communities. Just as our Creator intended, as recognized by the framers of our Constitution.
Last, but not least, our government must repeal all unconstitutional laws targeting our right to form militia's, our right to bear arms, and our right to self defense.
POTUS doesn't need an EO to do that, he already has the power to ignore them. The courts have NO authority to infringe on the Executive Powers or Branch.
“The province of the Court is solely to decide on the rights of individuals... . Questions, in their nature political or which are, by the Constitution and laws, submitted to the Executive, can never be made in this court.” ~ John Marshall (1755-1835) US Supreme Court Chief Justice Marbury v. Madison, February 23, 1803
“[N]othing in the Constitution has given [the judiciary] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the executive to decide for them. Both magistracies are equally independent in the sphere of action assigned to them… the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional, and what are not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature & Executive also, in their spheres, would make the judiciary a despotic branch.” ~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President Letter to Mrs. John Adams, September, 1804
“The powers properly belonging to one of the departments ought not to be directly and completely administered by either of the other departments. It is equally evident, that none of them ought to possess, directly or indirectly, an overruling influence over the others, in the administration of their respective powers. It will not be denied, that power is of an encroaching nature, and that it ought to be effectually restrained from passing the limits assigned to it.” ~ James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President Federalist Paper 47, 1788
“To maintain the ascendancy of the Constitution over the lawmaking majority is the great and essential point on which the success of the [American] system must depend; unless that ascendancy can be preserved, the necessary consequence must be that the laws will supersede the Constitution; and, finally, the will of the Executive, by influence of its patronage, will supersede the laws ..." ~ John C. Calhoun (1782-1850) American statesman
“I acknowledge, in the ordinary course of government, that the exposition of the laws and Constitution devolves upon the judicial. But I beg to know upon what principle it can be contended that any one department draws from the Constitution greater powers than another in marking out the limits of the powers of the several departments.” ~ James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President speech in the Congress of the United States, June 17, 1789
“The truth is, that, even with the most secure tenure of office, during good behavior, the danger is not, that the judges will be too firm in resisting public opinion, and in defence of private rights or public liberties; but, that they will be ready to yield themselves to the passions, and politics, and prejudices of the day.” ~ Joseph Story (1779-1845) US Supreme Court Justice Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833
“Constitutions are violated, and it would be absurd to expect the federal government to enforce the Constitution against itself. If the very federal judges the Constitution was partly intended to restrain were the ones exclusively charged with enforcing it, then “America possesses only the effigy of a Constitution.” The states, the very constituents of the Union, had to do the enforcing.” ~ John Taylor (1753-1824) usually called John Taylor of Caroline, served in the Virginia House of Delegates, US Senator, writer, political pamphleteer c. 1790

Then blame all of the others who voted against the constitution, and not the one who voted correctly.
Both the Democrats, and the Uniparty seem to always want to raise taxes and never want to reduce spending. I have the way to eliminate income taxes, while also fully funding LEGITIMATE spending, as provided for within each States Constitution.
Here are some of my ideas on how to eliminate State income and property taxes on citizens. Every State could do this. This is the way:
Require a 100% accounting of all the money, expenditures, of every department, program, or agency with unconstitutional spending. If the State Constitution doesn't specifically delegate it, then it must be abolished.
Publish the actual cost to run the State government annually with full disclosure and transparency, once #5 has been completed.
Establish a minimum of a $1,000,000,000.00 emergency fund that cannot be used for anything other than legitimate State emergencies. Any funds used must be replenished within the span of 4 years of being used.
Secure all State Elections 100%. Make it a capital crime to tamper with or commit fraud in the elections.
Reduce the State Government to the size and scope the intended when they wrote the State Constitution. Eliminate all departments, all agencies, all programs, all projects, and all roles not specifically delegated to the State Government through its Constitution. End all forms of State welfare, including foreign aid (if any), corporate aid, and domestic welfare programs. This will eliminate most unconstitutional spending. It will also shrink the government back to the size and scope originally intended. All departments and delegated powers that belong to the States will be funded 100% by those States, no federal dollars will be used.
Eliminate all State, county, and local taxes on citizens across the board. No other income taxes on citizens of any type at the State level. This includes any form of property tax, and every single State consumption tax: gasoline, diesel, communications, water, etc.
Enact sensible tariffs / taxes on any foreign trade, only as approved by the U.S. congress (if any). All excess funds over what is required to fund the limited government would go to paying off the State debt. Once that debt is paid off, all surplus funds would be evenly distributed to all State Citizens at the end of each year, with the exception of replenishing the emergency fund in #3 above.
Enact a flat 2.5% tax on businesses, but only on revenue over $1,000,000.00. Cap business tax at a maximum of 5% total when including county, city, and local government business taxes. This would allow small business owners plenty of breathing room to establish and grow a small business to a point of success allowing it to thrive once it was subject to the State flat tax. All excess funds over what is required to fund the limited government would go to paying off the State, County, City, or Local government debt. Once that debt is paid off, all surplus funds would be evenly distributed to all State, County, City, or local Citizens at the end of each year, with the exception of replenishing the emergency fund in #3 above. All other State and County government fee's or charges for businesses owned by citizens of the State would be eliminated. Government is not intended to generate profits, only raise enough revenue to cover the actual cost of running a small and efficient government.
Enact a flat 1.5% State sales tax on any non-exempt purchase. The sales tax is capped to a total of 3% which includes county, city, and local sales taxes sharing the additional 1.5%. All excess funds over what is required to fund the limited government would go to paying off the State, County, City, or Local government debt. Once that debt is paid off, all surplus funds would be evenly distributed to all State, County, City, or local Citizens at the end of each year, with the exception of replenishing the emergency fund in #3 above. All other government fee's or charges for businesses must not be more than the actual cost. Government is not intended to generate profits, only raise enough revenue to cover the actual cost of running a small and efficient government. (Food, groceries, water, weapons, ammunition, gasoline, diesel fuel, oil, water, natural gas, propane, utilities, and clothing to be tax exempt)
