That's so pretty devolve, it makes you feel like you're moving! [or maybe I've been sitting at the computer too long?]

"Wouldn't those prime pieces of property in Malibu, overlooking the beach, make excellent places for hotels? Those movie stars would be forced to move to make way for vacationers".

Damn good idea!!!! Where do Jane Fonda and Alec Baldwin and their ilk live?

Let me see if can remember back to my political science class. One of the checks and balances of our bicameral government is that if one branch does some thing bad one of the other two can do something about it. For instance the pres can veto a bill if he so chooses and the leg can over ride the pres veto. There is checks and balances on what the SCOtUS did. The checks and balance on the judiciary from the legislature is to pass an amendment to constitution. Once Congresses passes an amendment and the states ratify, game over, SCOtUS over turned.

Thanks for the ping.

Reading between the lines, this ruling by the Soviet Court says that the primary purpose of an individual American citizen is to maximize the financial status of the state.

That goes against everything this country was founded on. And it gives us a good indication of how they will rule on future cases.

A Constitutional convention to originate amendments is exactly how you hold such a "discussion".

If the tyrants don't abide by the existing Constitution, what makes you think they will abide by a new one?

Make no mistake, a new one will be an abomination and will lack any meaningful Bill of Rights.

There was a thread on that today. The council members are laughing about it. They know that this ruling "really" only applies to us peasants. They think it's a freakin' game.

7.62X54R, good round. Gave the Nazi's a lot to think about. Pretty much a 30-06.

Yes. USG manual for my Moisin-Nagant T44 stated that the two rounds competed for both USG and Imperial Russian Govt. contracts at the turn of the century. For various reasons, USG chose one, and the Russians chose the other.

Ballistics very similar, tiny bit more oomph in the American round, and .308 slightly milder than either for the most part. All three have an edge over .303 and the German 7mm and 8mm calibers, and are about 30-40% more energetic downrange (at 200-300yd) than the venerable .300 Savage hunting round. (Savage Arms still offers one commemorative rifle in this caliber.)

Some of the hotter .308/7.62x51 rounds are peers of the .30-06 by the same criterion, and all of them make the "high-powered assault rifles" in 7.62x39 look sick by comparison, a point that seems to be perpetually lost on the Million Dense Moms, Charlie Schumer, and people like that.

The sad fact is I don't trust anyone living today to mess with the Constitution. I fear that we as a Republic are going down a one way road - and there's no turning back - without major unpleasantness.

Well, the whole point is, if you call a convention, you threaten the status quo, which is working pretty well for the various interests, right? And remember what David Horowitz noticed about the "Left" versus the "economic royalists" -- it all seems to come together at the top, and the Charlie Schumers and Howard Deans and Hillarys on one side and the Old Money owners of the Yacht Club wing of the GOP on the other, are just two hands on the same body, commanded by the same head.

So call the convention, force them to show their hand.......and let the unpleasantness begin, on your timing, and smoke them all out.

Then we'll see who's who and what's what.

What you need going in, is a team of dedicated investigators -- FBI men and Secret Service men and military people who took their oaths seriously -- and a road map to the Opposition: a Who's Who in Money, Law, High Society, and Politics. A wiring diagram, if you will, of the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization called the American Establishment (and you ain't a member, if you don't know you are).

Smoke 'em out.....start there.

Rods of iron, and eternal vigilance against their interest....and their toadies, henchboys, and enablers.

Make no mistake, a new one will be an abomination and will lack any meaningful Bill of Rights.

If the wrong people write it, yes.......so you get on your state Lege to reject it (or Else)......and write another, with better attention to the original, and to kicking ass on the people who want to compromise the process, and you, and all of us, no matter what their nominal politics might be, and whether they tell you they're from the Left or the Right or Up the Middle.

We are the only ones who can convince them that we are not playing their game anymore.

They think it's a freakin' game.

Of course they do. They're like the Habsburgs, or a headless chicken. They think it's all still business as usual. So when does Weare hold elections? This ought to be interesting.

Our Constitution is essentially the contract between the people and our government. While the government frequently reneges on this trust, this is perhaps the most egregious case since the birth of our nation.

Oh, I don't know. Our government did the exact same thing to the Indians, way back when.

It was only a matter of time before they did the same thing to everyone else.

Didn't the US Govt drive the indians off their lands and onto the reservations?

Guess who's next?

Trail of Tears, anyone?

In the past this kind of judicial abuse has prompted Americans to amend the Constitution.

In coming years, the media will highlight every case of a dispossessed American on the evening news.

The rallying cry will cause Walmart to run out of pitchforks.

Eventually the situation will be remedied and our governments reined in.

Or, thousands of years from now, we will be a future episode on Empire Part II.


BUMP
