Article I, Section 9; Clause 3 is “No Bill of Attainder or
ex post facto Law shall be passed”.

Bill of Attainder. Definition: A legislative act that singles out an individual or group
for punishment without a trial.

This entire thread was developed so MeganC could remind us:


“A law, by definition, cannot strip one of their Constitutional rights; only a Constitutional Amendment may change one’s Constitutional Rights. That said, a compliant Supreme Court can redefine what is Constitutional, but only if Congress declines to Impeach.”

‘Constitutional rights’ is a misnomer. There are no such things because the Constitution does not grant us or give us any rights. The Constitution enumerates certain rights and limits the government as to how it can interact with or infringe on those rights.

Therefore, our rights cannot be extiguished by a law or even by a Constitutional amendment because the Constitution has no authority over our rights. We, the People, are the sole authority of our rights. The Constitution limits the power and scope of government.

The sad thing is, I find myself constantly outraged and yes, I'm sure something has been going on for decades and it's just coming to light now (albeit minus obvious pertinent facts). I have no doubt that when all the information is posted, it will be outrageous.

Remember, If you’re not outraged
it means you haven’t been paying attention.

The older I get, the more I learn that many, many things have been going on for centuries...sometimes even longer.

The headline attracted me to this thread and I know these are important rulings that aren’t good for our future. But, being Friday evening, the words of the article just did not sink in on quick first and slower second readings.

So, May the fourth be with you for a few hours longer.

FEC's Legal Director David Nolan is a former ethics attorney for the Office of the President-Elect and the White House.

The Office of the President-Elect... Isn't this the phoney title Obama's campaign staff created for him with even a fake emblem to put on the podium?

Is this far Left wing propaganda?

it’s actually not possible for the government to strip our rights. if you think it is, you’ve missed the fundamental point of our Constitution

the most they can do is try and deny our rights, trampling on them.

but then again, they’ve been doing that for a number of years already

Federal judge puts Internet pioneer in civil lockdown

http://washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/2012/02/federal-judge-puts-internet-pioneer-civil-lockdown/272761

Opinion piece - last paragraph:

A former multimillionaire doesn’t get much sympathy nowadays. But if Jeff Baron can be held in this weird form of civil lockdown even though he’s never been charged with any crime and never had any judgments against him, what are you going to do when they come for you?

Close, but this is a judicial act, not legislative. There was no discussion on this one, except by the crazy jurist.

I often wonder how they would kick in the hurricane doors we have in FL.

First off, they open outward. Second they have to withstand 100+ mph winds.
