"paulsen twists a case that clearly stated non-citizens were not part of "the people"

Gasp! Does this mean that MileHi finally admits that "the people" does not mean everyone? Be still my heart!

"and claims that the BOR does not apply to "all citizens".

Some of the amendments apply to every individual, citizen or not. Some to "the people". The third amendment only applies to homeowners. The sixth only to "the accused".

You can't sit there and generalize like that and accuse another poster of lying.

In 1792, "the people" did not include all citizens. Women and children were excluded from that category. The insane, the feeble-minded, the infirm, felons, and prisoners were excluded.

Even today, "the people" does not include all citizens.

By their “reasoning” the Crips and the Bloods are militias.

No, not "everyone", just us citizens. I have not held otherwise.

The third amendment only applies to homeowners.

Wow, so government soldiers CAN be quartered in people apartments? More new info from paulsen. I bet a lot of renters will be surprised to learn this.

The sixth only to "the accused".

The accused what? Citizen, one of "the people".
