robertpaulsen opines:

Inalienable rights are those God-given individual rights which cannot be taken away without due process in a court of law.






Show us the Constitutional due process used in making the war on drugs.

436 jones






I don't agree that proper procedure is by itself sufficient justification for taking away God-given individual rights.
473 know you rights






"Me neither", paulsen irrationally claims:

"But Substantive Due Process holds that the Due Process Clause guarantees not only that proper procedures be used, but that it also guarantees that a person's life, freedom and property cannot be taken without appropriate governmental justification."






And as you well know robert, but refuse to admit, - "appropriate governmental justification" was never given for the drug wars prohibitionary 'regulations'.

- None is possible. Such fiat prohibitions on articles of 'dangerous' property such as drugs [or guns] are unjustifiable infringments on our individual rights to life, liberty & property.

Give up on your neo-prohibitionary communitarian crusade at FR, paulsen.

No one is buying your bull.

The USSC acknowledged that Congress did just that.

Read the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 -- it's right there in front of your face.

You have no excuse making such ignorant statements.
