Here's one part that has always stuck in my mind.

>>"I cannot believe that any court in full possession of all its faculties, would ever rule that the (14th) Amendment was properly approved and adopted." State v. Phillips, 540 P.2d. 936; Dyett v. Turner, 439 P.2d. 266. (The court in this case was the Utah Supreme Court.)<<

In the past 20 years I enjoyed reading the history of the our country and have had attorneys over the years who felt that the citizens got a Royal Shafting from the Legislators when our current criminal code was put in place.

Some words that are used in the laws have specific legal definitions that are different from the common English definitions.

Consequently, I don't think that this was intended by the Founders but was initated by the legislators and courts afterwards. Look at the bottom of these pages and you will see where there is a constant amending to our laws. http://www.washingtonwatchdog.org/documents/usc/ttl18/index.html http://www.washingtonwatchdog.org/documents/usc/ttl28/ I'm sure you understand I am not an authority on this subject, just one who is trying to find out if I should kiss my legislators and thank them for the screwing they gave me and I didn't even feel.

Yeah, I've read articles that have said the same -- that the 14th was never officially ratified by the states. Then again, the following paragraph says it all:

"Further, in 1967, Congress tried to repeal the 14th Amendment on the ground that it is invalid, void, and unconstitutional."

Failing that repeal, can we now assume that the 14th is valid? Geez Louise. The author probably also insists that Oswald didn't act alone either.

He reminds me of the Second Amendment people arguing about the placement and/or lack of commas in the amendment.

As far as your links to the amending of laws, it reminds me of the phrase, "One should never see how laws or sausages are made."
