Bull. - Quote this 'law'.
Surely you know the difference between de jure dead and de facto dead. The Ninth and Tenth Amendments are de facto dead. How many laws have been overturned based on the protections afforded by those amendments?
Yep. - No quoted law, just your phony bull, - as expected. - Thanks.

Suggest what you like, but don't imagine you've refuted my point.
I don't need to refute it - pointing out that it's just so much armchair quarterbacking serves well enough.
How juvenile. Thanks again.

Do you have the opinion that states were not originally subject to the first ten amendments?
"You are familiar with Gitlow v. New York, yes?"
- No. - Why should I be? - And why are you playing games about it? Make your point, and answer the question.
Okay, I'll answer the question - what difference does it make what I think? Before the 14'th Amendment and subsequent court cases flowing from it, neither the states nor the courts nor the federal government thought that the Bill of Rights did much to restrict the states.
No answer. Obviously, you are a 'states rights' devotee, but won't admit it. -- Why?
- Maybe cause you can't rationalize being clearly against the constitution? Strange beliefs, imo.
That being said, I'll try again. Are you familiar with Gideon v Wainwright?
Why? -- "What difference does it make?" -- [To quote a recent idiocy.]
So then you can't answer the question? I assumed as much...
No answer. Obviously, you are a 'states rights' devotee, but won't admit it. -- Why?
Really, now - if you're going to play both sides of this discussion, you don't need me, do you?
Maybe cause you can't rationalize being clearly against the constitution? Strange beliefs, imo.
For someone who bitches as much as you do about people reading into his posts, you sure are quick to do it to others. I've never said anything like that, and I highly doubt you can make anything resembling a cogent case to show that I did.
That being said, I'll try again. Are you familiar with Gideon v Wainwright?
Why?
(ignoring the gratuitous foolishness)
Because I'm trying to make a point here. However, I'm not about to teach an entire course in Constitutional law to do it, so I'd like to find out what you do know. And then we can proceed from there.
