It’s just an amendment. How can anything possibly go wrong??
Oh, just about everything!
Article III, Sec. 2, cl. 1, U.S. Constitution, enumerates the powers of the federal courts:
“The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;…”
“Judicial Power” refers to the power of courts to hear and decide cases.
Amendments are part of the Constitution. Thus, federal courts have power to decide issues addressed by Amendments.
The PRA would transform “families” and “children” from matters over which the federal government now has no lawful authority to matters under the total control of the federal government.
The PRA is a delegation of lawmaking power over families and children to the federal government.
Congress may make whatever laws it pleases pertaining to YOUR children; the Executive Branch may issue whatever rules or orders it pleases pertaining to YOUR children – and under Section 3 of the PRA, federal judges will decide whether these laws, orders & rules serve the government’s interest. If so, you lose.
Lawsuits involving these matters would become cases “arising under this Constitution”, or “Laws of the United States”, or “Treaties”, which would ultimately be decided by five (5) judges on the supreme Court. The authority of millions and millions of American parents would be transferred to five (5) judges on the supreme Court.
That Court has a long history of perverting every word of our Constitution it touches. It is suicidal to transfer Family Authority to that Court.
