People who think like this work and live among Americans who wish to preserve the Constitution; they walk among us.
It is sadder when the person who thinks like this is an educator.
Surely a law professor is aware of the Preamble to the Bill of Rights. While not often mentioned the Preamble to the Bill of Rights, like the Federalist Papers, offers considerable insight into the founders’ vision for America.
THE Conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution.
If this is the best A&M can offer, time for them to go back to the Big 12. We southern folk down here in Alabama love our guns. We ain’t giving them to no gun grabbing liberal homo from A&M. The liberals just think that parts of the Constitution they don’t like are now outdated. If they like it, it is okay, but not those they don’t like.
And why exactly should we care what the Professor sez? Frankly, I couldn’t give a rat’s hiney. Everyone has got a piehold and everyone has an opinion.
BTW, I applied and paid my $116 for my long gun certificate in the middle of September and I still don't have it.
Conveniently, the legislation did not put any funding to hire extra people or resources to handle the massive influx of applications on what used to be only the pistol permit division. Planned failure like Obamacare seems to be the way to backdoor what you really want.
She goes right into the belly of the beast (Texas) and preaches her contempt for our Constitution. She’s either brave or stupid. I choose stupid.
Makes for the perfect Obama Supreme Court nominee.
Thanks to the Demagogic Party, the First Amendment was in effect repealed long ago.
Thanks Kaslin.
Our Constitutionally enumerated rights were added to our founding document precisely because our founders feared violation of such rights, if left to local jurisdictions.
This is a blatantly wrong statement. They were originally interpreted as being a restriction on Federal Government actions only.
It wasn’t until more wide-spread incorporation mostly by the 14th amendment that they were interpreted to apply to other jurisdictions.
Maybe her students should make a “state’s rights” case for the repeal of our Thirteenth Amendment. Or maybe the Nineteenth.
After reading through the rest of the thread now, you beat me to it!
And you are quite correct.
“Penrose was speaking in Connecticut...”
Thats about all I needed to know...
IF they had tried to say that in College Station, I’m not so sure their would be such a warm and fuzzy in Aggieland...
So under the guise and convienience of the First Amendment they spew this freedom and liberty sucking drivle...
Hehehe, that Constitution and BOR really comes in handy doesn’t it...
You know, I happen to have a pretty good feeling there are significant numbers of high-amperage cattle prods (in Texas) that do not require permits or licences to encourage animals of this type into cages to be re-populated in places like Detroit, Chicago, NYC, etc etc etc...
I feel sorry for those places...Uhhhh, wait, check that, no, I do not feel sorry for places like that because this type of creature would thrive in an environment like that...
Unfortunately there is a chance that it could mate, and produce offspring that might migrate back to areas where they become a hazard to the local population...
Yes, I have decided that I do feel comfortable in my exercise of this thing called free speech...
It is very liberating...
Is this possibly how some women felt when they burned their bras in public back in the day...
Wow!!!
“Penrose explained that “drastic times call for drastic measures.””
I saved the best for last...
Be very careful of what you wish for, support and try to accomplish...
It WILL, I guarantee, bring about a “drastic response” that you will not ever be that unhappy about, ever again...
Damnit, don’t encourage them...We have almost gone a year without a pic like that surfacing like a mass of ugly jelly from the depths of the ocean!!!
Geesh!!! ;-)
“I hope that you’re right, but the last two Supreme Court decisions concerning the 2nd Admendment were decided 5-4. One more choice for this president and that flips. That seems to me to be a long way from ‘absolutely no chance’.”
The discussion is regarding the amendment being repealed. There is NO chance of that happening.
The interpretation of the 2nd is a different issue, and I’m with you in being concerned about that. It is good that those 5-4 decisions went the way they did, as that is now precedent, and folks will not take it lightly if those precedents are tampered with.
“You can’t say there is no chance. I thought there was no chance a communist could be elected as president. I really thought there was no chance a communist could be reelected as president. I could go on and on, but we must remain ever ready to defend our rights ( the ones that still remain).
I have to quit now as my blood pressure has gone up.”
I hear you, just don’t let it get to you. We all need to be as fit as possible, just in case.
It sure does. BTW I was going to ask you what BOR (Bill O’Reilly) has to do with this until I realized you meant the Bill of Rights :)
Yes it does.
