Mailed a letter to Chief Justice Roberts today.

Here is a letter I wrote to Chief Justice Roberts today.
I have no idea if it will simply end up in the trash, but I spent the cost of a stamp anyway.

The Supreme Court of the United States
One First Street NE
Washington, DC 20543

Dear Chief Justice Roberts

I hope you will count it no presumption that I seek your leave to address you on behalf of my grandchildren. They like me currently reside within the borders of the State of New York. After recent events I am confused and concerned when it comes to teaching them about the meaning of being an American Citizen.

My parents were US Citizens. I was born in Missouri shortly after the Second World War. Since moving to New York in 1988 I was appalled at the lack of regard for the US Constitution in this state. In many senses I always knew that in the end the Constitution would prevail. However, recently I am beginning to feel like a man without a country.

I was always one who prizes liberty and human rights and have always been a tax paying productive citizen, but lately I am beginning to feel that I have nothing but a strong kinship with the America I swore to protect when becoming a Police Officer in 1970. I learned to appreciate the Miranda decision and Supreme Court rules that restricted my power as a Peace Officer while protecting the rights of sovereign citizens of these United States. Our great nation in all of history that was founded on the precept of limited governmental power, equal rights and respect for all humankind, for the poorest and weakest of us as well as the richest and strongest.

As our Declaration of Independence put it, “We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…”

It must be recognized that our model was never one of perfection, but of ceaseless aspiration. From the outset, for example, America denied the African slave his freedom and human dignity. But in time we righted that wrong, albeit at an incalculable cost in human suffering. We atoned for our sins with blood.

Our impetus has almost always been toward a fuller, more all embracing conception and assurance of the rights that our founding fathers recognized as inherent and God-given.

Now there are men amongst us that have excluded God or the mention of our creator in schools, government buildings, functions and institutions. With God out of the way and on the verge of extinction in our legislative bodies, can the extinction of inalienable rights be far behind?

As stated I am resident of the State of New York and thought that I was also a citizen of the United States of America. As a resident of New York, our state legislature has recently passed a set of laws that to most individuals seem to segregate us from the rest of the United States. We no longer have the same rights and privileges of citizens in other states as set forth by the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution.

These new laws not only infringe on our rights they also create putative restrictions on other US Citizens travelling into New York State. It is akin to crossing the border of another country. It is now the burden of the traveler from another state to familiarize themselves with the laws of the State before entering. I am not talking about speeding or tax rates; I am speaking of rights as set forth in the first ten Amendments, commonly referred to as the Bill of Rights.

Is it within the rights of a state to ignore and circumvent the Constitution?
Can New York or any other state create law that ignores the Miranda Rights and authorizes torture to obtain statements from suspects?
Can New York pass laws that allow Law Enforcement to enter ones home to search without limits or reason?
Can New York pass laws that mandate the registration of your faith with the state?
Can New York infringe my right to keep and bear arms by making me register with the state every time I purchase ammunition?
Can New York infringe my right to keep and bear arms by making me register with the state every time I purchase a hand gun,
Can New York infringe my right to keep and bear arms by making me register with the state every time I purchase a long gun based on how it looks?
Does the State of New York have the right to turn it’s legislative back on the Supreme Court of the United States of America?

I can ask these questions to ten separate lawyers and officers of the Court and will get ten different opinions and that in itself is shameful. So I am asking you sir.

I need to know! As a Resident of the United States of America, am I and my grandchildren guaranteed the same rights that others have as set forth in the Constitution, or does the state in which we reside have the authority to do as they please. Am I a citizen of the United States of America or a Citizen of New York State?


Sincerely,
 
That letter will probably get you on a list of some sort.

First, your questions are rhetorical.

Second they assume the answers to the critical issues.

Third, the chief Judge doesn't determine what is and is not constitutional. That's the function of the court, not an individual judge.

If it gets me on a list of some sort, so be it.

As a New Yorker I now do not have the same rights as the other states. And woe be to any other US citizen crossing the NY Border.
The Question stands:
As a Resident of the United States of America, am I and my grandchildren guaranteed the same rights that others have as set forth in the Constitution, or does the state in which we reside have the authority to do as they please.
 
I think you nicely presented your case.
I wouldn't have put any god stuff in there, because there is an implication that you'd like to see the First Amendment modified or ignored. That weakens your argument IMO.
