Safire has another excellent column today. Interesting material on the military tribunals. Don't let them take away or erode our constitution.

What are you? Some kind of wacko libertarian? You must be high on something. How dare you point out these things? Don't you know this stupid document was written over 200 years ago? They could never have forseen the problems we have today.

"What are you? Some kind of wacko libertarian?"

Actually...I've always considered myself to be a Radical Constitutionalist.

Meaning...I actually BELIEVE in the Document...every single word.

The Bill of Rights is what America is all about. Without it, we'd be just like any other country with too much government. We'd be like China, or Russia, or Germany without the Bill of Rights. As somebody said, we'd be the world's biggest banana republic. Every problem America ever had could have been solved by enforcing the Bill of Rights. Every problem America has now could be solved by enforcing the Bill of Rights. Every problem America will ever have will be solved by enforcing the Bill of Rights.

My exact feelings expressed much more eloquently than I could ever manage.

But this article fails to address a key (perhaps THE key) issue.

Does the Bill of Rights apply to all humans on planet earth? All illegal immigrants within the borders of the US? All aliens threatening violence against the US? What DID the founders intend?

[Mini-14]

This is a well written article. I highly recommend that President Bush and Attorney General Ashcroft read it.

I've always loved the way L.Neil Smith writes.......

Why is it a 'Key issue'??????

May I ask a question. I have heard the libertarian spill about why the Republican Party does not represent the Constitution, but What About the Constitution Party?

Why do libertarians think that it is They who Represent what the Constitution is about, What is wrong with the Constitution Party?

Let me guess, The Constitution Party doesn't Support Homosexuals, Abortion, Sexual Deviants, Pot Smoking, Crack Smuggling, Gambling, Pornography, Ect...

These are all things that the Constitution and our Founding Fathers wanted protected right?

Ehhhh...I voted for Howard Phillips in this last election.

Met him at Jarbidge...and was REALLY impressed.

But the Libertarians are natural allies of anyone who believes in the Constitution. And I have no problems with them.
