Hey Prof., Shalom!
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today with the utmost respect for your profound constitutional scholarship and the invaluable guidance you have provided me.
However, there comes a time in the course of human events when even the favorite or number-one student must stand upon their own experiential knowledge in matters of circumstance and situation. That time has come for me. My knowledge is forged in the lived reality of my ancestors, and the country built upon our chattel-enslaved ancestors’ backs—a reality we experience vicariously and presently as we reap the compounding, generation-destroying consequences of 245 unrequited years of suffering.
Therefore, after conducting extensive research and study of your and Senator Paul’s 28th Amendment proposal (S.J. Res. 189), I have come to realize that this is a fundamentally very bad and dangerous idea. As well as being distracting from fundamental, foundational Remedial federal laws of reconciliation for the harms done, will subsequently, ultimately, fail to accomplish what is truly needed for full “actual freedom,” as explicitly promised in Sentence 2. B of the Emancipation Proclamation:
“and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.”
1. Two Distinct Heritages: The House and the Willing Immigrant
For us, black, federalized citizens, our American Dream is vastly and understandably different from that of white American citizens. Every other group in this nation—whether white, black, brown, red, yellow, or olive, including illegal aliens—shares one common heritage: the heritage of willing immigration.
Our struggle and concern is not with illegal immigrants, nor anchor babies, nor white citizens, nor any partisan electoral machinery—including the notorious, anti-black, Johnsonite, chattel-slave-owning, Jim Crow, KKK Democratic Party.
Our dispute is directly with the three branches of the Federal Government, which co-equally birthed the American African Freedmen under their protective and true progressive-advancement “wing” and Jurisdiction, via the 1861-62 Confiscation Acts, 1863 Emancipation, the Thirteenth Amendment, 14th and 15th, particularly the 1866 Act, that gives substance to them each respectively, and the Enforcement Acts 1871-72, the establishim of the Department of Justice, etc.
This unique relationship dates back directly to the military interventions of 1861–62 during the early days of the War to liberate our ancestors, and subsequently to the POTUS office.
When the POTUS demonstrates that he has the structural power to execute his sworn promise to the Constitution, but allows emotional and political fears to render him impotent in this matter, the Constitution and the Emancipation covenant grant us the right to flee for refuge under direct military protection.
2. The “Smoking Gun” and the Lock on the House
The fatal error of the modern anchorist strategy is that it treats the 14th Amendment as though it is a generalized piece of immigration law meant to create birthright citizenship. It is not. Birthright citizenship by virtue of the soil was already the organic law of the land for free people prior to 1866.
The true “Smoking Gun” lies in identifying the mysterious three-word phrase: “All persons born…”
Your 28th Amendment movement ignores the fact that this birthright citizenship was already in place. Under chattel slavery, a slave was denied citizenship not inherently because of race, but because they were stripped of status, held as property without rights.
Once the 13th Amendment broke those chains, the Civil Rights Act of 1866—walking through its ten precise sections—acted as the custom-made “remedial medicine” to restore that status and bring the Freedmen into the pre-existing House.
The 14th Amendment was enacted solely to LOCK that medicine so a hostile Congress could never repeal it, which logically cleared the path for the 15th Amendment.
By forcing a foreign, illegal element into a “suit” that does not fit them, and using a remedial medicine never brewed for them, you deal a final hammer blow against American Africans—technically robbing them of their exclusive historical equity and converting it into federalized immigration law.
Accordingly, either way the Court decides, Trump or Barbara, and not MORATORUM, as well as POTUS not withdrawing, the moment that occurs, technically, American African will have been returned to the dangerous state of super vulnerability, as a lamb about to be attacked by a pack of starving, American dream-eyed wolves from all angles.
Like awakening from a long, realistic dream, this generation posterity, descendant children, i.e., “this baby only…”, of the chattel slaves, has been a full, 161-year circle into the future and back to their/our original, post 13th Amendment limbo existence of being legally, a NOBODY, having no official recognitin, nor therefore name, or purpose as a “these people”, like awakening from a long, realistic dream.
On another note, I will explain the grave to the USA, should that indeed occur, stripping the Remedial, federalized citizenship and giving it to a new class of federal citizens, etc.
3. The Drift of Custom and SCOTUS in Contempt
The Congress of the United States (COTUS) has failed to insist that the POTUS protect the laws it legislated, particularly at this crucial, soulful center of our Union Republic. Furthermore, the Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) utter drift has wrongly empowered itself to legislate from the bench, thereby violating the Constitutional arrangement of joint, coequal, not tiered, separation of powers, i.e., “checks and balances” rule, being in contempt of the US Constitution and the Court of Heaven.
By prioritizing federal border-breaching international fugitives (who are fugitives, not refugees, but according to The Act, Section 4, under the Freedoms Bureau) over federal citizens in cases like Trump v. Barbara, any such ruling is based purely on CUSTOM—a false premise repeated so long it masquerades as law, noting the Won Kim Ark case, the most major federal drift, led and santioned by the SCOTUS.
This judicial overreach warrants the immediate visitation and enforcement of Section 2 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 by the pertinent investigating and arresting authorities designated in Sections 3, 4, 5, 8, and 9. Because it violates Section 10, the highest court in the land stands in contempt of itself. If the courts accept this premise, they effectively nullify Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 of the Constitution, which gives Congress exclusive power over Naturalization.
Had there been strict enforcement from the beginning of Reconstruction carried all the way until rights were “as is enjoyed by white citizens”—as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. admonished and warned—this modern illegal immigration and birthright crisis would never have occurred. This crisis is simply the consequence of 161 years of federal dereliction of duty.
4. The Impracticality of the 28th Amendment
The 28th Amendment strategy is an unfeasible, nation-destroying distraction. Pushing it means launching into decades of vicious congressional battles and media wars that will spill into the streets of the court of public opinion. It creates chaos, confusion, and unrest, all while the True Subject Beneficiaries are rapidly staggering into oblivion from generational trauma.
Instead of chasing a decades-long distraction, doomed to ultimate failure, you must encourage the POTUS and the military to immediately obey Sentence 2. B., of the Emancipation Proclamation and accept the immediate timeframe of a National Moratorium to pause the system, return to the text, and separate immigration law from the sacred, exclusive remedial laws of the 14th Amendment.
5. The Higher Court, the Double Hypocrisy, and Legacy
The more that J.D. Vance, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and so many other Christians proudly boast of being a “Christian Nation” while failing to follow the business of the Court of Heaven, the greater danger they put this nation in. They forget the warnings of Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, who reminded us that the Civil War’s horrific pain was a divine consequence.
To celebrate the USA 250 in 2026, boasting of a “Golden Age” while still oppressively standing on the backs of chattel descendants is a double hypocrisy before the Central Person—GOD.
You and Senator Paul will be held remiss and accountable should you not hear and heed this request via Divine Providence, upon which we firmly rely for our defense. A law left unfulfilled or dormant does not mean it is dead.
It lives in the sight of God, and He expects obedience to it because the Emancipation Proclamation rectified the Declaration of Independence, bringing us back to the truths that God gave.
Professor Eastman, you are a highly trusted advisor to President Trump and his DOJ. If anyone can influence him, it is you—the man who proved his loyalty through false indictments. I am asking, appealing, and begging you to redirect the POTUS to withdraw from Trump v. Barbara and impose a Moratorium.
Allow me to be Trump’s Frederick Douglass, and let my people be his moral high ground shield against false racist accusations. They will gladly step forward as Black Federal Troops (BFT), just like the United States Colored Troops who stepped up for Lincoln and saved the Union.
This is deeply in your utmost interest. You are a good man looking for a lasting legacy. If you comply with this truth, you will fulfill Lincoln’s Gettysburg admonition to finish the “great task before us,” entering the legacy of Lincoln in the annals of time into perpetuity, and eternally in God.
With the utmost respect, constitutional clarity, and dynamic regard,
Ted
