The Boston Globe Cries: The #FreePress Fallacy

by KrisAnne Hall, JD

The Boston Globe printed an Opinion piece as a rebuttal to all the “fake news” accusations.  Their new hashtag professes “#FreePress is not the enemy.”

It is true Freedom of Press is not the enemy, Freedom of Speech is not the enemy either – They are two of the foundational principles of Liberty that make America great. But since we are on the topic, let us examine the nature of the true enemy. You see, Free Press is not a person, it is a principle.

1. The enemy is a group of people who call themselves journalists joining together in a cabal to push their social and political agenda and then call it Free Press.
2. The enemy is an organized clan of media pundits who drive their agenda by demonizing the true market place of ideas and targeting opposing opinions with their tar-and-feather tactics of division.
3. The enemy is any politician that encourages and or supports this politically and sociologically driven agenda to silence opinions they do not approve of or which may threaten the power they possess.

Thomas Jefferson said it so eloquently to John Norvell, June 14, 1807:

Government Exceptions to the 4th Amendment; Where are they?

by KrisAnne Hall, JD

Judges these days seem just fine with allowing the government exceptions to the 4th Amendment.  That doesn’t surprise me, I went to law school.  So its even less surprising that federal agents have no problem using the “permission” of the courts to violently assault the rights to property and due process of the American people.

I know that law schools DO NOT teach the Constitution…they teach CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. Those are not the same things. Constitutional Law classes teach that men and women in black robes know more about the Constitution than the men who wrote it. They also teach that these same black-robed constitutional illiterates can rewrite the Constitution through precedent and opinions based on their erroneous law school education.

by KrisAnne Hall, JD

In 2018 the people of the State of Washington voted to infringe upon the rights of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.  We know that essential rights like these do not come from government, they are inherent to the right of all people pursuant to the Laws of Nature and the duty of self-preservation.

The Inalienable Right To Life

by KrisAnne Hall, JD

The Supreme Court, in Dobbs v. Jackson (2021), correctly held that abortion is not a federal issue, but a State issue based upon the 10th Amendment of the US Constitution.  The 10th Amendment reads:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Because the Constitution never delegates the power to the federal government, within any branch, to define life or give permission to government to control life, the Supreme Court held that as a “power not delegated” it is thusly reserved to the States to decide.  It is important to note that the Supreme Court did NOT outlaw abortion, or end the debate over abortion in any way.  If anything, by correctly overturning twenty-one years of unconstitutional precedent, the Supreme Court re-fired this debate.  Now what we see is the  increasingly popular to use the 10^th Amendment to justify carte blanche legislative authority within the States.  

The current rhetoric is that because of the 10^th Amendment, States can “pass whatever laws they want” claiming that if a State wants to legalize abortion, the 10^th Amendment gives the State the power to do so. I would like to assert that some issues cannot be legislated by the States and in particular legalizing abortion is NOT a legitimate authority of the State and here’s why:

We cannot fully understand the 10^th Amendment until we understand of the 9^th Amendment as well. The 9^th Amendment says:
