Ping.

We pass Bills of Attainder and Ex Post Facto laws all the time!

SCOTUS has ruled that ex post facto only applies to criminal statutes ...

what do you think?

Bitter as gall but all too true. Strong medicine is generally required to heal a chronic condition afflicting the body politic.

Nicely done. It wil lrequire a ‘housecleaning’ of biblical proportions to restore our Republic.

You sure did!

I could just hear Screwtape lecturing his young disciples on how to take advantage of the fickleness of man and his laws.

I enjoyed this parody. It’s not so much an article, as an allegory, kinda like the Screwtape Letters, if you are familiar. It got me a little riled, to start thinking about what the state of affairs are, so I thought I’d share. Thanks.

Very good!!!

we couldn’t send out SWAT teams to raid a house with a ‘No Knock Warrant’ as this amendment says that people are supposed to be secure in their homes from ‘unreasonable searches.’

Like the other day, that SWAT team shot that dog and terrorized a little boy for a small bag of pot. Nice work!!! To hear that dog cry made my heart sick and to see that little boy made me truly furious. I'm not saying the parents are not partly to blame, but, talk about over kill. And what if they go to the wrong house. Some law abiding citizen who has a right to carry or owns a gun for protection? Someone will be killed and that someone would probably be the innocent home owner.

Personally IMHO, we need someone or some people to look over all of our federal laws and if they violate the Constitution, strike them down. And one of those laws would be abortion.

i agree with post # 6

[Don W]

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.‘

Yet when was the last time you heard of anyone having a Jury Trial for speeding or a ‘parking violation'?

Straw man argument: both speeding and parking violations are CIVIL infractions, NOT criminal.

I do like your way of thinking. The ScrewTYpe (BG) hyperbole is quite thought provoking as well.

Sure?

Have you read Screwtape?
