Look at a map of the world. Now, you see that ocean near the middle? To the west of it, you'll see a sort of longish strip of land, going north-south. It gets really thin in the middle. Now, look at the part of it north of the thin part. About in the middle part of that, you should see a whole lot of little areas with all different colors. Just to make sure you're looking at the right place, there should be a big area right above it all in one color; that's a place called Canada. Each area with its own color is what we call a state. All of the states together are called the United States, and it's all one country even though it's got lots of colors. There are two other parts to this country, but I won't confuse you by telling you where they are. The answer to your question is, everyone inside that area.
Where do you get off having our government protecting the free speech and liberty of illegals who are on our soil?
We should be exact here: the Constitution says Congress can't violate those things.
Now gee whiz. I thought "everyone" included Chinese reporters. I guess they wanted to cheer AND leave the country with a boot on their ass. There's either something wrong with your definition of "everyone" or something wrong with what Bob Barr said.
Indeed.
Now the phrase "the people", as it appears in the 9th and 10th amendments, may be construed without complete injustice to mean citizens alone. However, the fact that the government is explicitly prohibited from a narrow construction of the rights of "the people" does not imply that the government may narrowly interpret the rights of "not the people".
This is precisely the kind fallacious reasoning against which Hamilton warned.
