ROTFL!!!
I take no credit...its all TXBSAFH's fault.
The Constitution of the United States of American sets for that one of the primary purposes for the existence of the federal government is to provide defense.
FACT: THE FEDS FAILED MISERABLY AT THIS ON 9/11. DEMOCRATS/REPUBLICANS ALIKE. THEY ALL SHARE THE BLAME.
The federal government failed. The FBI failed. The Department of Defense failed. They HAD warning of this yet they failed to stop it due to their arrogance, politics and territoriality. Now over 5,000 people lie dead because of their deriliction of duty.
Now they are repeating the same with the bordrs. The USA does not have secure borders. The Consitution of the United States requires such to provide the rights it spells out.
Question: What good is the Constitution anymore? Maybe it is meaningless, note the decision by the Supreme Court on imminent domain. Does the fact that the document could not hold up to these assaults in a concrete fashion indicate it was defective to begin with?
Question: Since the federal government has continually failed in doing its primary duties does that mean the Constitution is null and void?
If so, should a new Continental Congress be called by representatives of the states to propose a new constitution that will more comfortably fit our current needs/resources?
These are just "hypothetical" questions...don't start dumping all over me, LOL.
