Justice Department attorneys are advancing an argument at the Supreme Court that could allow the government to invoke international treaties as a legal basis for policies such as gun control that conflict with the U.S. Constitution, according to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

Their argument is that a law implementing an international treaty signed by the U.S. allows the federal government to prosecute a criminal case that would normally be handled by state or local authorities.

That is a dangerous argument, according to Cruz.

“The Constitution created a limited federal government with only specific enumerated powers,” Cruz told the Washington Examiner prior to giving a speech on the issue today at the Heritage Foundation.

“The Supreme Court should not interpret the treaty power in a manner that undermines this bedrock protection of individual liberty,” Cruz said.

In his speech, Cruz said the Justice Department is arguing “an absurd proposition” that “could be used as a backdoor way to undermine” Second Amendment rights, among other things.

And it doesn’t just end there. If the U.N. wanted, they could mandate the freedoms given to us by the Founding Fathers, restricting things we take for granted. Just as Sen. Cruz said, we should be using the U.S. Constitution to evaluate treaties, not the other way around. President Obama and Eric Holder need to be held accountable for this egregious abuse of power, and realize that they were elected to support democracy, not to rule America.

The Department of Justice Attorneys led by Eric Holder have just started advancing an argument at the Supreme Court that could allow them to invoke international treaty for policies such as gun control and conflict with in the United States. This would include conflicts like the planned EBT shortage. It would also enforce the unconstitutional UN Small Arms Treaty that was signed by John Kerry despite the US Senate garnering the 53 votes necessary to block it from ever being signed. The act itself was committing Treason under Article 3 of the Constitution.
This petition filed by the DOJ and Obama’s Administration would give them the power and authority to implement the treaty signed by the US and allow federal prosecutors the right to prosecute criminal cases that would be normally handled by state and local authorities. One might also argue if this gives the DOJ the authority to over ride the ruling of Posse Comitatus or the ruling of international troops on US Soil!
I Read All 10 Pages Of Your Liberty Gun Rights. But I, For One, Don't Trust "o" Or Holder One Bit!! They Need Tried And Convicted For Treason And War Crimes!! Why The House Doesn't Start Protecting US Is Beyond Me. The Speaker Needs To Be Replaced With Someone Who Will Protect The Honor And Dignity Of The United States!!
