Are the liberal Democrats becoming the black helicopter loonies of the new millennium?
Remember the black helicopter loonies of the 90’s? Linda Thompson, Mark from Michigan and the other crazies, remember how all their stupid ranting seem to stick to conservatives like Velcro? Those bozos created all sorts of credibility problems for anyone who spoke up about issues in the Clinton administration. Any time a conservative criticized the Clinton administration he or she would be dismissed as just another Clinton hating black helicopter loony. This dismissible conservative credibility in the eyes of the American public seemed to embolden Clinton to do what he damn well pleased without fear of retribution from the public, even to the point of lying to Congress and the American people.
Is the shoe on the other foot now?
Charles Schumer, Maxine Waters and others from the left appear have taken up the mantel of un-credible loonies whose words and actions are destroying any credibility the Democrats have when it comes to criticizing the Republicans and the Bush administration. Their ranting doesn’t seem to change Bush’s popularity ratings, in fact they make it look like the Democratic Party agenda is simply a sour grapes plot to get Bush.
Do the Republicans realize this? If they do realize this can they take advantage of the situation or will the innate Republican fear of doing something stupid turn into another round of not doing anything at all?
Don't put words in my mouth. It protects the rights of anyone who falls under American Jurisdiction. It should anyway. It's supposed to. If it doesn't, then the government may at any time claim your are a non-citizen and do whatever it wishes with you.
That would seem to imply people who obeyed American laws to be here, not those who broke the laws and are here illegally thumbing their noses at the laws.
Unadulterated rubbish. Does a female soldier have a right to an abortion in Saudi Arabia?
What's so hard to understand about that?
You pointedly neglect to address whether or not non-citizens may be deported.
The government may not, in everything, do whatever it wishes with non-citizens, but it damn well may tell them to leave and, if they won't, they will be forced to.
It's the Constitution that says what's Constitutional, not any particular person or set of persons. BTW, do you understand where judicial review comes from?
His oath is sworn to the constitution as it has been interpreted by the SCOTUS, not you.
Hmmmm... Article VI says, "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." I don't see "as interpreted by" in there. Do you?
The only people chained by the constitution are federal and state government officials. You and I are chained by our moral conscience and the criminal law.
The federal govenrment must respect the rights of every person it claims jurisdiction over.
to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects.
Not if they haven't committed a criminal act. And most certainly they may not hold them indefinately without cause as that would not only be a power the government was never given, but it would also violate their right to privacy and property.
Show me where in the constitution it gioves the government the power to violate anyone's rights. I notice that you haven't even attempted. Do you already know that such powers do not exist and are too much of a coward to admit you know this, or are you still searching?
You, on the other hand, have no understanding of the person you're slandering and you obviously didn't even know that he's a gynecologist. Why don't you go find a forum more suited to your mentality? You don't belong here at all.
I've seen people who don't know anything, but you don't even suspect anything.
