I pulled this from this blog because I figured it's worth discussing. The amendments he posited makes me glad he retired. It makes me mad he was ever on the USSC. He clearly has a disdain for any sort of localized control and supports authoritarianism with the most shameless of passion.

He doesn’t understand—or doesn’t know about—the reasons why the framers restricted the federal government in the ways they did (Nor, why they granted a right to bear arms.)

One question: which of these amendments is the most naive?

Actually a staggering question. Id have to vote for the last one I read.

It’s really amazing that a lunatic like this was on the Supreme Court. Black robed tyrant comes to mind.

The fifth amendment specifically provides for capital punishment as a just punishment.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law. Why are leftists so repelled by the Constitution.

When you take a serous look at Justice Stevens and others appointed to the courts, can you start to understand the necessity for Maine to secede and offer a place for those who can and will accept the risk and responsibilities that go with being free.

The old liberal’s clerks wrote a book for him. And now they put it out under his name, with his blessing, so it’ll get some attention.

Shove it, kiddies....there is a way to pass legislation in this nation, and old SCOTUS men who haven’t had an original thought in decades can’t change that fact.

The 2nd Amendment assures we civilian’s arms to counter the Organized Militia. Apparently the Judge doesn’t see it that way.

How arrogant of him to think HE knows better than the patriots who wrote our blessed constitution. If only we could only seperate ourself from these egotistical, self righteous, narcissistic, this country could heal.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Quite a wish list. Does it leave any power not arrogated to the Courts?

How about for “Sovereign Immunity”, say “Illegitimate actions can by definition form no part of any government agent’s legitimate duties. Federal government personnel may be exempted from state laws only when they are making a good faith effort to act legitimately; efforts to abide by the Constitution “just enough” to avoid censure shall not be considered “good faith”.
