Please man ..Stop it .The one call we dont follow and follow FAST may make the difference in another serious situation.
No, they haven't; you have NO points at all.
Very mature response. I think the DU could use you over there.
Don't drive yourself crazy thinking of the ways the government "could" abuse your rights because that door for abuse has been open since the Constitution was signed. With that possible abuse door already being open, there has to be some element of trust with your government that they won't walk in that door.
Ping me if you get an answer to that one; I haven't seen anybody answer that yet.
That's what I keep hearing but only from those silly political party hucksters. They seem willing to say anything to earn their pay.
Been asking it for an hour now............. yawnnnnnnnn
Very few rights are lost. But there is a whole lot more paperwork needed for just about everything.

I must have missed that article ..Love to read about that..Can you point me to the article on line by any chance ?
You'll live though that I'm sure
Like what?
I've asked that question on numerous occasions for the last 4 years.
Much more paperwork to open a bank account.
Interesting. That isn't found in the actual records but rather here in a discussion of the issue. Please however also note notation 1421
The contemporary and subsequent judicial interpretation was to the understanding set out in the text. Cf. Talbot v. Seeman, 1 Cr. (5 U.S.), 1, 28 (1801) (Chief Justice Marshall: “The whole powers of war being, by the Constitution of the United States, vested in congress, the acts of that body alone can be resorted to as our guides in this inquiry.”); Ex parte Milligan, 4 Wall. (71 U.S.) 2, 139 (1866).
You folks do remember Milligan don't you? The case that popped the decision of a dead President for his actions in suspending habeas corpus. I would refer you also to Hamilton's comment. Apparently the only lucid thought that most worthless individual ever had...
[T]he President is to be commander–in– chief of the army and navy of the United States. In this respect his authority would be nominally the same with that of the king of Great Britain, but in substance much inferior to it. It would amount to nothing more than the supreme command and direction of the military and naval forces, as first General and admiral of the confederacy; while that of the British king extends to the declaring of war and to the raising and regulating of fleets and armies,—all which, by the Constitution under consideration, would appertain to the legislature.--note 1416 from the same document you sourced.
FDR put Japanese and some Germans in camps. Do you want President Bush to put every single Muslim in interment camps?
WW II was fought against enemies who were NATIONS! Which nations would you like America to fight now? And what about our home grown IslamoNazis, who swear allegiance to OBL and/or al Qaeda?
And FYI...even with the Japanese and some Germans in internment camps, Americans living in the 1940s, didn't "feel safer", because they knew that German and Japanese plans and Germans subs could easily hit us.
b.s. Just opened two and no problem at all. And I moved from one state to another.
Your stupid and juvenile assessment of what I said just validates my statements.
That has what to do with Homeland Security?
Following the law means singing an altered version of "Silent Night" at school.
If there was a law against singing altered versions of any song, we'd all be spared the agony of having to hear Celine Dion or Anne Murray, or Pat Boone, butcher good, decent, songs.
Frankly, there should be a $5 fine for whining.
