Someone needs to explain to Mr. Bingham that the second, third, seventh, and part of the fifth amendment still don't limit the states, 140 years after the 14th was ratified.

And he needs a reading lesson -- I thought the first amendment CLEARLY said, "Congress shall make no law ..."

What a doofus.

NEWS FLASH: Courts have [drum roll] pulled legal doctrine out of their nether orifices rather than obey the original intent of the Constitution.

I'm sure this will come as a shocking surprise to everybody here.

And he needs a reading lesson

Today's reading lesson:

a·mend·ment (&-m&nt-m&nt) -- a: the process of amending by parliamentary or constitutional procedure b: an alteration proposed or effected by this process

What a doofus you are paulsen. ALL of those rights are covered in our self evident rights to "life, liberty, or property", just as the 14th specified.

And he needs a reading lesson -- I thought the first amendment CLEARLY said, "Congress shall make no law ..."

And, that line CLEARLY applies only to the establishment clause. What a nonthinking doofus.
