There is a free app for The Constitution.

I have on my Android.

Better time spent than other Apps.

I and my friends distributed a few hundred thousand of these in Georgia over the years. And a patriotic physician I interviewed on the radio in Rome got other doctors to pitch in and put another hundred thousand into the Floyd County schools.

For those who have made comments critical of Trump for his remark re. the muslim (shari’a?) lawyer whose son was killed by ANOTHER MUSLIM while serving in the muslim created centuries long hell hole in the Middle East, I – and many other posters – have asked one question: Why didn’t this fellow aim his comments at the fellow muslims now slaughtering other muslims, Christians and Jews all over the world – and, if you’ve been asleep or a demoncrat (but I repeat myself) – now HERE AMONG US?
Oh wait. He was at the demoncrat convention and was under orders to dump on Trump!
never mind.
(If this confuses you, search the definition of “Taqiyya”.)
And as for his pulling out his little Constitution, let me urge all you who see this to visit the site at the link below to fully grasp the contents of ANOTHER book (a BIG ONE) the Quran!

O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war, and the daughters of thine uncle on the father’s side and the daughters of thine aunts on the father’s side, and the daughters of thine uncle on the mother’s side and the daughters of thine aunts on the mother’s side who emigrated with thee, and a believing woman if she give herself unto the Prophet and the Prophet desire to ask her in marriage — a privilege for thee only, not for the (rest of) believers — We are Aware of that which We enjoined upon them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess — that thou mayst be free from blame, for Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

— Surah 33:50
Won’t find that in the US Constitution either.

How ironic if unconstitutional Democrats inadvertently get people interested in the Constitution with one of their little propaganda shows.

“We have lost a very important point on people, that Non-Americans DO NOT HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS U.S. CITIZENS!!”

That would depend on if the words “citizen(s) and “people” are mean the exact same thing or if the have two entirely different meanings.
>

IMO, that’s a gross misrepresentation of our Constitution and DoI: “...all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...”.

Inalienable Rights, of which SOME are re-affirmed in our Constitution as they pertain to Federalism.

What we *should* be railing against is the abuse of our Rights and the intentional misrepresentation of PRIVILEGE(s) [especially those re: non-Citizens]. IE: The ability of We the People, through our govt, to determine whom shall (not) be allowed over our borders vs. the job of govt in protecting the Citizenry/borders from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

My $.02, the Left intentionally conflates to confuse and direct the debate in their favor. We must be unwilling to fall, voluntarily, into said trap(s).

Oh, I get it; purposeful misinterpretation, subversion, or loophole — the bottom line results in the same end result of edging us closer to a fascist dictatorship, advancement of a Caliphate, and One World Government.

The Constitution is not a suicide pact.

Hillsdale College still gives them out for free.

If you can identify what seems to be a “loophole” versus deliberately flouting the document, go ahead.

Remember that the Constitution as written was “only for a moral and religious people”, as John Adams said. But that does not preclude the immoral and irreligious from being punished by it, nor by state laws (which the Tenth Amendment protects).

No, but Jefferson did call it a “felo de se” if the judiciary were to get out of control and treat it as a “thing of wax which they may twist and shape into any form they please”.

I’m not here to engage in a battle over semantics and subversion of the USCON. But thanks anyway.

A Muzzie holding the Constitution reminds me of the line, “Even the Devil can quote Scripture.”

You seem to want to go to war against the semantics and definition of constitutional "loopholes" for some odd, petty reason. Whatever.

As to the rest of your post, I agree wholeheartedly.

A photo the best preserved of only four surviving originals.
This 1215 Magna Carta original is kept at Salibury Cathedral, Wiltshire, UK.

The other three 1215 Magna Cartas are held at The British Library and Lincoln Castle.

Thx. The one we have is probably from first US printing...not quite as difficult to read as original!

I printed a copy, gave it to my mom, and asked if she could read it. She said that she remembered reading it in ancient history class in High School. I questioned if it was in fact discussed in current events.

That's when she swatted me. (Mom's 91, but still quite feisty.)
