The Politico - Tea party forces are seizing on a new strategy in their attempt to purge Senate incumbents from office: the recall. While it’s not entirely clear whether their approach will meet constitutional muster, that hasn’t stopped determined groups of grass-roots activists from trying in nearly a half-dozen states. The most prominent attempt to recall a sitting senator is currently unfolding in New Jersey, where Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez (pictured with this story) awaits a state high court ruling on whether a recall effort against him can go forward.

Constitutional muster. The Constitution is a set of Rules for the government to follow. It is NOT and never has been a set of rules for the People to follow.
The People are superior to and retain all authorities not delegated. The power of recall is one of the authorities that was not delegated. Nor was the power of recall restricted. Our Constitution does not work in the manner 99.99% of the People think it does.
In computer talk, the Constitution is a white list, a list of allowable things. In contrast, restrictions are known as a black list. A white list is always short and manageable. A black list generally grows to an unmanageable size shortly.
The Constitution lists very few restrictions because the government created by the Constitution has very few and very limited powers. The enumerated restrictions apply solely to those delegated powers.
The only way for the People NOT to be able to recall elected officials would be IF the People placed such a restriction on themselves. The government cannot do so because the government is subordinate to the Constitution and to the People.
