The Constitutional Covenant
Remember this document? Government officials of all levels swear to uphold and protect it when they take office. It's the contract/covenant between the governed and those that govern. No one has the right or authority to violate the Constitution, both Federal and State. When they do, they are breaking the Law and the faith of the American People. And remember, the Federal government can only do what the Constitution allows them to do. Anything more is treason against the People.
