Republic of Ireland President Michael D. Higgins to consider the "Abortion Bill" ...
by W. Finnerty Wed Jul 24, 2013 09:00

=== === ===

"The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill will be delivered to Áras an Uachtaráin today for consideration by the president."

"The Oireachtas Bills office will print the bill which will then be sent to President Michael D. Higgins."

"Once the president receives his copy of the legislation, he has a week to decide on whether to sign it into law, or whether to refer it to the Supreme Court to test its compliance with the Irish constitution."


=== === ===

The excerpts in the section above are from the very recent RTE report at:
http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0724/464282-president-higgins-to-consider-abortion-bill/
(Updated: 07:10, Wednesday, 24 July 2013)

Will President Michael D Higgins insist, as appears (to me) to be his LEGAL DUTY under the terms of Article 6.1 and Article 12.8 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland (both referred to below), on having a national referendum to decide the fate of this HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL Bill -- which many believe should, if the best interests of honesty were to be best served, be called "The Abortion Bill" -- so that "in final appeal" it will be "the people" of the Republic of Ireland who will have the FINAL SAY say as to whether or not this Bill becomes law.

Article 6.1 of Bunreacht na hEireann (the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland and as such the SUPREME LAW of the Republic of Ireland) VERY clearly states:

"All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under God, from the people, whose right it is to designate the rulers of the State and, in final appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the common good."

===

Under the terms of Article 12.8 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland:

"In the presence of Almighty God  I Michael D Higgins,  do solemnly and sincerely promise and declare that I will maintain the Constitution of Ireland and uphold its laws, that I will fulfil my duties faithfully and conscientiously in accordance with the Constitution and the law, and that I will dedicate my abilities to the service and welfare of the people of Ireland. May God direct and sustain me."

Similarly for Republic of Ireland Chief Justice Susan Denham under the terms of Article 34.5.1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland:

"In the presence of Almighty God  I, Susan Denham,  do solemnly and sincerely promise and declare that I will duly and faithfully and to the best of my knowledge and power execute the office of Chief Justice (or as the case may be) without fear or favour, affection or ill-will towards any man, and that I will uphold the Constitution and the laws. May God direct and sustain me."

The Constitutionality of Government usurping the rights of "the people" in the Republic of Ireland?
by W. Finnerty Mon Jul 22, 2013 17:39


"The Taoiseach has refused to comment on the possibility that President Michael D Higgins may not sign The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill into law."

"At that stage, if President Higgins refuses to sign the bill into law, it can be referred to the Supreme Court to check its constitutionality, following consultations with the Council of State."

(Published Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - 11:30 AM)

What about the CONSTITUTIONALITY -- and the LEGALITY -- of the way our Government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) is USURPING the right of "the people", "in final appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the common good" through the use of a referendum?

The Republic of Ireland Government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) usurped the Article 6.1 rights of "the people" in connection with the Bankster bailouts (and other major "common good" issues): i.e. usurped the right of "the people" to have the "final" say as to whether or not the  70 billion Euros  bank bailouts (or whatever the exact figure to date is) meets "the requirements of the common good": having due regard for the many www reports concerning the quadrillions of Euros of self-created DERIVATIVES GAMBLING DEBTS which the Banksters have got themselves into; and, which many well-informed people believe can NEVER be paid off because they are far, far too big to EVER be paid off: thanks to the way the Banksters can STILL fraudulently create money from nowhere out of nothing, which they then "lend" to governments around the world, AND charge compound interest on!! (Additional information on the Banksters "Derivatives Problem" can be found via the following www link: http://tinyurl.com/k4jftl4.)

Article 6.1 of Bunreacht na hEireann (the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland and as such the SUPREME LAW of the Republic of Ireland) VERY clearly states:

"All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under God, from the people, whose right it is to designate the rulers of the State and, in final appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the common good."

"Pistols for two Rostov, and coffee for one."

 
     
     
 

Which of the two  "political systems"  will  "the people"  of the world end up with?

 
     
 

TOTALITARIANISM

 OR  

CONSTITUTIONALISM

 
     
 

WAR

 OR  

PEACE

 "Totalitarianism 
 (or totalitarian rule) is a political system where the state recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible."

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism
 
 
 
 "Constitutionalism   is descriptive of a complicated concept, deeply imbedded in historical experience, which subjects the officials who exercise governmental powers to the limitations of a higher law. Constitutionalism proclaims the desirability of the rule of law as opposed to rule by the arbitrary judgment or mere fiat of public officials…. Throughout the literature dealing with modern public law and the foundations of statecraft the central element of the concept of constitutionalism is that in political society government officials are not free to do anything they please in any manner they choose; they are bound to observe both the limitations on power and the procedures which are set out in the supreme, constitutional law of the community. It may therefore be said that the touchstone of constitutionalism is the concept of limited government under a higher law."

Please note that, for technical reasons beyond my control, the dozen or so "Internet Hyperlinks" provided in the "Related Open News Topics" section below will appear as "dead text" in this "Indymedia (Ireland)" comment. However, the original "live working" versions of these hyperlinks can be found (and used) in the edition of the message-text at the www address provided above; and, they were included in this morning's e-mail to the United Nations because, between them, they seem (to me) to provide a pretty good indication/"feel" of just how MASSIVE, VARIED, WIDESPREAD, and DEEPLY ENTRENCHED, the global "government corruption, crime, cover-ups, and impunity" problem really is at the present time: and, most important of all perhaps, I think they also, as a set, supply a tangible "handle" (of sorts) on the very slimy, very extensive, and often very blurred "DENIAL (genuine and/or pretend) MINDSET PROBLEM", which continues to so powerfully, and frequently INVISIBLY, and often from "way behind the scenes", to "fuel and drive" the whole accelerating global phenomenon of "government corruption, crime, cover-ups, and impunity". Has anything really changed fundamentally among the arrogant "ruling elites", I often find myself asking myself, since the days (in the 1400s AD) of the "Borgias Pope Family" in Holy Rome: "The Original Crime Family of The Vatican", as they have been labelled by some?'
 
'A bit like other aspects of the universe itself perhaps, it may be that this particularly nasty MINDSET "type social problem" (as I see it), in very large part a human-brain "software problem" I suspect, which I have long viewed as a major threat for "humanity as a whole", and maybe even for the whole of "Life on Earth" possibly -- when and if the constantly-lurking risk, above and below the surface of the Earth (particularly in the oceans of our World), of "the makings" of a  "Hell on Earth" Thermonuclear World War Three   is taken into account -- is a problem that is half-invisibly expanding outwards (and inwards as well at the same time in its particular case!!) at something approaching the speed of light? Or at least the speed of sound perhaps, and with much of the credit for the "expansion in all directions" due to the bankster owned/controlled MSM (Main Stream Media).'
