If it please the Court,
I have a layman’s question
about this federal government shutdown.
I’m guessing you all have noticed
in the Constitution’s Preamble
that it’s purpose includes
to create a more perfect union.
I’m wondering if you are concerned,
as I am,
that when the President swore to defend that Constitution
maybe he hadn’t read
and actually comprehended his administrative responsibilities
toward achieving this “more perfect union”
Rather than throwing all his administrative resources
behind creating a more perfectly partisan disunion,
which I believe the background discussion notes
from the forefathers’ constitutional convention mentions
as something they all hoped
authentic democratic intention
would preclude.
With this historical-contextual conservative background
in mind,
I would like to hear your legal opinion
about the President’s constitutional right (or wrong)
to disproportionately shutdown federal government staffing
and financial resources
in those States where the majority did not vote for him.
I guess my follow-up question,
If this is the President’s constitutional right,
to create a more perfect partisan disunion,
then does it follow
that the corporations and private citizens
in Blue States
should be paying a reduced federal tax rate?
to avoid historical problems
of no taxation without representation.
