PREVENTING ZOMBIE CONSTITUTIONALISM REQUIRES CARE AND FEEDING OF THAT CONSTITUTI

PREVENTING ZOMBIE CONSTITUTIONALISM REQUIRES CARE AND FEEDING OF THAT CONSTITUTION – OFTEN BY PATRIOTS
—“There is a serious danger in the myth of zombie constitutionalism. There is great power in the traditions and heritage of our nation that were codified into the Constitution, and we should continue to rally around them, but the document itself will no save us.”– @AuronMcintyre

Blackstone’s Commentaries, The Federalist Papers, the Declaration, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are incomplete.

There are about major eight holes in the constitution because the founders assumed the aristocratic tradition, the common law and christian faith, and the clarification of those holes is non trivial but possible – I’ve done most of the work.

That said the constitution is the closest effort a scientific government possible, and european (especially anglo-germanic) traditionalism is the closest to political empiricism possible: because (a) commonality in common law (dissent), (b) concurrency in voting legislation (assent) (c) sovereignty of the people not the government and (d) the right to bear arms to replace it.

We can update that constitution to cover the original holes and address the subsequent ‘crimes’. And we can add our group strategy to it so that it is founded in a purpose.

For traditionalists (meaning government by empirical evidence of the behavior of mankind) we must understand, that there is no other way of concretely persisting anything of any precision in the modern world other than constitutional declarations, the science that justifies them, and the group strategy we seek to fulfill – then reinforced by repetition in the governent and the courts, and in application in daily life.

The only thing that will save us is prosecution of those who fail to defend it, as well as those who transgress against it, and the only way to do that is a market for that suppression and that market is the court of common law.
