Bob Barney has been demonstrating this week about how important the 10 Amendments are to the Constitution and what it means to lose the very rights our Founding Fathers had set up to protect us with. He discusses the 8th Amendment on Part II of the Bill of Rights, here.

The judiciary contingent that has aligned itself in a series of cases against President Donald Trump and other Americans is being blasted for violating, over and over, the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on excessive fines.
The condemnation comes from Lawrence Kadish, who serves on the board of governors of The Gatestone Institute.
“It is high time,” he said, “to call on all judges and patriots to put a stop to crimes committed by those who have been elected or appointed to uphold the laws of the nation and the U.S. Constitution, but who instead have been violating the law and assaulting the Constitution – sadly with impunity.”
There have been several examples of egregious federal decisions, such as the determination not to charge when ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton allegedly obstruct justice by reportedly ordering her staff to destroy 33,000 subpoenaed emails with BleachBit and smash two of her 13 BlackBerry mobile devices, he said.
Then, too, he said, Joe Biden has intentionally defied the Supreme Court’s ruling that he was not authorized to make taxpayers pay some $138 billion that was loaned to college students.
