muawiyah pretends he supports property rights:

Look, the Second Amendment recognizes my God-given right to keep and bear arms. Find the Amendment that says you can smoke dope.

The 9th says all rights are not enumerated. -- The 14th says that our rights to life, liberty, or property cannot be deprived without due process. Prohibitions on 'smoking' our property deprive us of due process.

The "my right to property" argument as the sole reason for anything went down the tubes with the Civil War.

Weird reasoning, seeing that the 14th wasn't passed till after the war in 1868. -- Admit it, you haven't a clue on how to constitutionally justify prohibitions.

You'all should have looked to your dope, not your slaves, when you started the conflict. Too late now.

Give it up kid, - you're not making a bit of sense.

It's pretty obvious you don't understand anything about the legal history of the United States.

No, what is "pretty obvious" is that you are a very confused person. -- Nothing in our exchange could possibly lead you to say that I "--don't understand anything about the legal history of the United States.--"

Frankly, if you want the courts, and the legislative bodies, and the various executives, of the United States to accept your reading of the Constitution,

Millions of people have been arguing the anti-prohibition position since the Constitution was ratified. -- Hell, we even won on prohibiting booze..

it's long overdue for you to get to work. At the moment none of them agree with you.

Dream on kiddo. As a prohibitionist you are blinded by your own agenda. -- Millions of people agree that our Constitution finds repugnant laws that ignore due process in either their writing or enforcing.

The Constitution provides that the states may regulate alcohol as they wish.

Earlier they didn't quite have that authority.

So, what is it you are talking about?

By the way, down at the bottom, next to "Post reply | Privte reply | " you will find a number. That number refers to the post to which you are responding.

It is a simple matter to rotate backwards through a FreeRepublic thread to find out what else the Freeper had to say.

You don't have to use that "copy all of it over" nonsense that you find in the inferior threads carved out for the use of children.
