SOTU: Isn't it interesting...?

Isn't it interesting that the only mention of the Constitution in the president’s SOTU was the requirement to report the State of the Union from time to time.

There was no mention of the COTUS in comments regarding plans or programs; no concern about complaints that many of the president's plans or programs egregiously exceed any Constitutional authority to implement them.

There was no mention of the COTUS when alluding to the take-over by the federal government of our auto industry; our banking industry; or our financial system. No mention of the COTUS in relation to the decision by the Fed to print worthless currency by the truckload to monetize federal debt that investors won’t touch; no mention of the COTUS in connection with the government intervention in our financial system that caused it’s collapse.

There was no mention of the COTUS when the federal government essentially confiscated two-thirds of our domestic auto manufacturing and arbitrarily distributed it to the UAW and Fiat without just compensation to the rightful owners: the shareholders.

There was no mention of the COTUS when the decision was made to drive major commercial and investment banks into bankruptcy while protecting Goldman Sachs. There was no mention of the COTUS when the president was extorting bond holders to forego their long established rights under the bankruptcy laws of the US in the distribution of the auto manufacturers’ assets.

There was no mention of the COTUS when the Congress was implementing clearly un-Constitutionally non-uniform distribution of Medicare taxes for certain States or certain occupations as a bribe for Senate votes.

There was no mention of the COTUS when chastising the SCOTUS; no mention of the COTUS when discussing hate crime legislation (so much for equal justice under law); no mention of the COTUS when discussing protected status for homosexuals even though the practice is an abomination to Jews, Moslems and Christians and subsequently any empowering legislation is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment proscription that the Congress shall pass no laws restricting the free exercise of religion.

There was no mention of the COTUS when discussing the roles of the Legislative, Executive, or the Judicial branches or the issues they considered over the past year.

Isn’t it interesting that every federal officer is required to take a solemn oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the COTUS” before being endowed with any federal authority? Respect for the COTUS is supposed to be the heart of every action by our federal government: but it’s mentioned only for a report required from time to time. God help America!
