201-year-old law"

201 years!!!!

This law went unnoticed or challenged for 201 years!!!!

What kind of a people would have created a law like that?

Those people 201 years ago knew absolutly nothing about law and the Constitution.

I didn't realize that all of the the framers of the Constitution were all dead 14 years after the signing of said document.

Surely had they been alive at the time of this law, they would have not allowed it to exist.

Or if they were alive, they were the most ignorant represenatives the people have ever known.

This law went unnoticed or challenged for 201 years!!!!

North Carolina's (1805) 201 year law was predated by the 1798 Calder v. Bull Supreme Court ruling that established that the USSC has jurisdiction to rule state laws unconstitutional.

Don't you understand that the men who wrote and ratified the Constitution did not know what they meant. The states that agreed to live under the Constitution did not know what they agreed to.

In fact, nobody knew anything for over 200 years. It took the ACLU and other radical liberals to use a judge to revise the Constitution to agree with the judicial activists of the last 50 years of illegal Constitutional Revision.

Free Republic humanists love the ACLU rulings that ignore 200 years of legal history and reduce our Constitutional Republic to an Oligarchy to achieve liberal utopian goals.
