The absolute God given forethought of the Founding Fathers is the 2nd amendment.
Hang onto it like your lives depend on it, because they do.
Thanks for the info although they are just more of the ruling class who have no regard for the Constitution-—just how they can rule the serfs in every area of life.
Your- second person possesive
You’re- contraction of “you are”
Much better (yeah, irony, I know) to call your Congress-critter; they could have told the courts ‘here’s what you cannot touch’. Instead we get the shrug and palms up (as usual) ‘I tried’ BS
They are also the ones who allowed these jack-wagons onto the Court to begin. Here’s an idea, if their past doesn’t show them supporting the Constitution, don’t allow them on the bench!
But, that’s expecting Congress to do its job
A total waste of time.
The Supreme Court is supposed to be free from political pressure of any kind.
If it can totally ignore the executive and Congress, both of which have "standing," why should anyone think that ordinary citizens have any effect at all?
A voyage through the following thread, I hope, should make matters clearer :
There is no doubt, that a serious national debate should exist, not only through Congress, but through grassroots intense activism, to solve a problem that the founders neither imagined, nor were capable of imagining when our Founding Documents were agonized over, and debated for fifteen years(!) before ratification.
Yes the world has changed, but not nearly enough to assume evil, perversion and ignorance can now be the driving forces to achieve free exchange, private enterprise dynamic economy, real freedom and restored responsibility.
An excellent point.
Precedent exists, and it's settled law. Of course the elected morons are not smart enough to do this, nor is it in "their personal interests" to approach the problem.
That would be the easy solution, but we shouldn't hold our collective breaths.
This also raises a fundamental and critical question : Does Congress (both houses) have an official attorney to advise them of what their powers and limitations are? Including legal precedents?
If not they certainly should, and it should not be the Attorney General.
Do we need further explanation why?
That the office is not only susceptible to criminal abuse (with no recourse,) but as we are experiencing now, is subject to claims of ignorance by the administrators when caught red-handed in felonious, jail-time criminal abuse.
President does not negate the words/meaning of the Constitution; otherwise the document is worth squat....There is NO ‘settled’ Law that is repugnant to the Constitution. Pass a Law, deemed valid by the USSC, that the 2nd Amend. is hereby stricken does NOT negate one’s inalienable Right to self-protection as per the 2nd Amend.
Even, as you suggest, Congress has some attorney, I would not hold any sway to any person who would try to weasel from such each to read phrases as “Congress shall make NO law...”, “...shall NOT be infringed”, “...against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue...” nor “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
