I doubt that many democRATs have read the Constitution or even the Bill of Rights. They swore an oath and don’t even know what it means.

No longer the Rule of Law.
Now we have the Rule of Men.

On paper, we are a republic.
In reality, we are an oligarchy.
And the oligarchs do as they wish.

Well, there was a secret map on the back of the Declaration of Independence...

More lies form Representative John Conyers, the Democrats, and the Left.

On top of the stupidity of this guy’s assertions, any kind of “secret clause” would be automatically invalid because what matters is what ratifying states knew and intended to ratify into law.

If we force insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions, then for purely commonsensical reasons regardless of what the Constitution says we need to require everyone to have health insurance from birth to death.

I don't think we should force insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions, so I don't think people should be required to have health insurance.

However, the nonsense that was spouted in order to get ObamaCare enacted has led a lot of sheeple to believe they can have their cake and eat it too, i.e. wait until they have an expensive health problem and then get insurance that covers it. This is especially true of expectant mothers who can go insurance-free for years until they need prenatal care and then get insurance to cover the visits and delivery.

Isn't free money grand!

Our intelligence apparati use the “sources and methods” clause to negate the bill of rights and effective oversight by the people’s elected representatives.

"Judges “should be” allowed to decide for whom we are allowed to vote, as long as they decide we must vote for Democrats"

I can’t find the “Freedom from Religion” clause in my copy of the Constitution. It must be part of the “Emanations from Penumbra” section in the New and Improved Constitution™.

I was astonished to learn from Roe v Wade that the Constitution has emanations and penumbrae.

The Commerce Clause and the General Welfare Clause have been the most abused language in US legal history. They are the source of most of the misery of congressional abuse.

I always understood the General Welfare clause to mean that the populace in general should be on welfare.

That’s how FDR and his hoarders of demons saw it.

They're looking for the secret clause that let's them pass a law next month that they can apply retroactively to something that happened three years ago.

They still have to justify the sitting president signing a law to kick his rival off the ballot.
