Did you read what I wrote? It seems not.

Ill use small words this time:

Our rights dont come from govt. The BOR enumerates those that are God given. That is, they dont come from any decision by the govt, theyre not privelges. The govt cant curtail them. If Ted believes they can then hes unfit to be president. He just another statist. If our rights have been curtailed we’re the only ones to blame. If we’re counting on govt to protect those rights well lose them.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha!!!

Sure it can. It does so all the time. It will continue to do so until either:

1) We replace the current crop of petty tyrants with statesmen who actually respect the limits proposed in the constitution.

2) We say "NO" and make it stick.

Bingo.

I expect less from Mr. Trump, but from the so-called Constitutional ‘expert’ (I guess, in a much as Jug Ears) it is appalling.

It is even MORE so reading the same tripe coming from other FRiends; whom seem to fall into the Leftist debate traps over and over and over (NEVER accept the oppositions premise).

And, yes, govt CONTINUES to trample upon our Rights, Freedom and Liberty. One is only a ‘criminal’ when one is caught (IE: They decide to enforce the full weight of govt upon one they wish to quash). It’s the fear that empowers ‘em, and an emotion easily tamed. Make me an outlaw and I’ll damn sure live up to the title given.
