Georgetown law professor: Americans are ‘slaves’ to the U.S. Constitution
The College Fix ^ | July 6, 2022 | Dave Huber

A Georgetown University law professor says Americans are “slaves” to the U.S. Constitution as their adherence to that document — written by a “tiny group of white slave-owning men” — has turned the country into a “war zone.”

Rosa Brooks made the comparison yesterday on MSNBC’s Joy Reid show and highlighted the recent mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois.

“[T]here are people all over the world who have lived during armed conflicts, and when does the mortar fall on your house, when does the soldier or the tank come down the street and just kill you,” Brooks said. “We are now living in that world, too, and we have brought it on ourselves.”

“That world” obviously would be due to the Second Amendment to the Constitution, and according to Brooks “we are essentially slaves to a document that was written more than 230 years ago.”

“And we cannot break out of the bondage that we have imposed on ourselves from feeling like we have to– everything by our Supreme Court is decided in reference to this ancient document which is just not serving us well,” Brooks continued. “It is causing enormous problems and enormous tragedies at this point.”

Did the law professor forget that the “ancient document” established a very clear procedure by which to “break out of [its] bondage”? It’s called Article V.

America’s problem isn’t white slave-owning men from 246 years ago. Our problems stem primarily from the actions and thoughts from white middle-class, college educated, female leftists in today’s America.

Rosa Brooks is proof that Jesus Christ was telling the TRUTH in John 8:44, and He was prophesied in Psalm 106:40 to say and do everything related in John 8:44.

Jerusalem was later Divinely destroyed after “they” willfully and wrongfully targeted Jesus for arrest, torture, and murder.

Rosa Brooks should be permanently deported to Israel, just like Merrick Garfinkel and all of the other communist jews who are knowingly and willfully trying to subvert and destroy the United States from within.

And don’t pull any “anti-semitic” stuff with me. These creeps and psychopaths are evil incarnate, and have no place among the lawful Christians in this Nation.

She should be permanently deported back to Israel where she can sew all the venom and discontent she wishes.

Not even that. Don’t like it? Repeal it by amendment or by Convention of States. Them’s the rules, sis, to get us to your paradise. Follow them or STFU

"retard" is too kind for this law professor.

interesting observation however;
adherence to that document (the CONSTITUTION) — ... — has turned the country into a “war zone.”

so, the constitution isnt the problem.. its just paper and that is destroyed easily enough. the REAL PROBLEM is that people still consider it the Law of the Land. the implicit claim that the law of the land is 'whatever we feel like today' might be interesting if the professor was less of a retard.

we cannot break out of the bondage that we have imposed on ourselves

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

Calling her a globalist or a Soros stooge is too tame, and misses her true, core identity. “Rosa” Brooks, so named by her Communist mother Barbara Ehrenreich after infamous German Communist Rosa Luxembourg, is a born and bred red-diaper-baby Communist princess. Nothing that she says or writes can be fully understood without knowledge of those origins. Her writings and present associations, such as the Transition Integrity Project, can only be understood as an integral part of an atavistic, deeply subversive anti-American Communist whole.

Brooks is a child of two Leftist academics, not surprising she has those attitudes

Her dad:

When this jerk says we have brought it on ourselves,does he have a turd in his pocket?
It’s his ilk that has brought on the insanity by not adhering to that Constitution.

I’m unsure if Delta serves international flights, but if it does, Delta’s ready when she is.

“ignore the lunatic”

We’ve been doing that far too long and now they are coming for us. Are you going to ignore them up to the point they drag you out of your house at 2 AM?
