Thanks to the fascists lawn laws of Cortez, I was assaulted by a homeowner for taking pictures of mushrooms while walking home from church last Sunday. After reading about the new weed police (Journal, June 23), I understood why the homeowner was so irate, and why he would do something so foolish as to attack a much larger person while being on camera. Silly laws are driving taxpayers to attack one another. Well done liberals, well done.
So what are we constitutionalists to do about such silly encroachments, such as the grass in our yard being too long, on our personal property and liberty? Only allow the government to take pictures of the bounty of toadstools a good-soaking rain produces? No, I say. Mow when you feel like it and don’t pay the fine. Make them arrest you, go to court, and demand a jury of your peers.
Is anyone interested in setting up a Go Fund Me account in preparation for the first homeowner conservative enough to fight these unconstitutional lawn laws in court? I will donate money to it so that I can walk home from church with a camera taking pictures and not be assaulted.
The founders put a well-known but little-used clause in the Constitution about jury nullification of unconstitutional liberal laws. Preach this! Learn it. Live it. Love it! Nullification is the last hope to retain our republic before we constitutionalists are called by duty to God the creator to dust off the Declaration of Independence, particularly the clause that says “it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government,”
