I can not believe what John Best has written over the last week on his blog, Autism Fraud. The subject matter is totally at variants with the original thrust of the blog to the point that John should make a decision. Start a new blog, or rename the current one to something more relevant.
I have previously criticised the original 13th amendment as contrary to the freedoms we have for any American citizen to run for public office. I would suggest that this is why it was never ratified. That is the only explanation I can derive from it's failure to be included in the Constitution. An amendment can not be just dropped as John is seemingly suggesting. If John wishes to prevent people from being elected he must run against them if he can, or run a campaign against them to encourage others to vote for other candidates. I honestly believe John doesn't really understand the concept of freedom for all.
But this diatribe regarding the military oath is just staggering! Mind boggling even!
I'm not a political expert, but if the members of Congress are subject to the same rules of privilege as the President then the only way a member of Congress can be removed is by impeachment, or whatever the term is for them. For that to happen there has to be a certain set of circumstances that allow for it, as was the case with Richard Nixon. If John is aware of anything like this he needs to name names and describe their activities and how they warrant a relevant order from Congress. At present he has not. He is simply generalizing and as a consequence making himself look like a bona fide traitor. The military has no power over Congress. They never have and they never will either. The structure means that they ultimately take their orders from their Commander-in-Chief, and that is the President. Any member of the military that disobeys the President would be subject to an immediate court martial and dishonorable discharge from the service. And yet that is what John Best appears to be seeking.
This is more evidence that John Best is guilty of treason as I have mentioned previously. He should be arrested and charged same.

On the original 13th amendment, Anthony, I've done some research and this is what I found.
First of all, it has nothing to do with lawyers. It's to do with titles (King, Prince, Lord etc) and I think it was done to prevent any English interference by stealth. The amendment wasn't dropped. It just hasn't been ratified by enough states yet. I saw a site that claimed that only 13 were needed and the 13th (Virginia) ratified it in 1819. The trouble is - at that time there were 21 states and according to the law that I read, they needed 16 to make it stick and not 13 (ie three quarters of the states). So as it stands, it is still waiting to be ratified by the states - even today. And it won't be because it's not relevant like it might have been in the early 1800's.
Should also tell you that Best is a former Air Force officer.
