I would like to see every drug agent, who participates in no-knock raids that are at wrong addresses or result in the death of someone or plant phoney evidence to wrongly convict someone, be in prison or on death row. Or BATFags, who also do knockdown raids and plant phoney evidence and kill people, be in the same places. Or Feebs, who participate in atrocities like Waco and Ruby Ridge, be in prison or on death row. Or ANY LEO who uses "asset seizure laws" to confiscate someone's property he or she covets be imprisoned. Or any politician who advocates ANY law not 100% in line with the Constitution, AND necessary, be subjected to exactly the same penalties as he or she proposes OTHERS be subjected to. Or Billy Jeff Clinton and Hil-liary be in prison just because they personally offend me with their smarmy, trailer-trash ways. However, I'll SETTLE for the eradication of these unjust, unconstitutional edicts and pardons for those wrongfully convicted under them. So you'll have to settle for the eviction, 'cause it ain't ever going to be a perfect world and there is NO RIGHT to not be offended by someone or something. You do what is rightful under the circumstances and swallow your ire at what, in a FREE society, you cannot properly do. Then you pray that YOU do not fall afoul of the deeds and covenants yourself. Because you know full well that you offend those around you (look at what you do HERE, case in point!!! ;-) ). So someone could be looking at you the same way you looked at your partying neighbor.
BTW, it appears you have issues with officers of the law. Timmy McVeigh didn't get help.
Whose rights are trumped? Daddy Gov ('our society) or the Boy Scouts?
You call yourself a conservative?
Say, I missed that part of the Constitution. Could you point out where that power is enumerated?
Thanks in advance!
Leftists and Libertarians fail to distinquish between race and sexual perversion.
Big surprise.
Private clubs aren't commerce.
Read Section 1. -- People are not to be deprived of Life, Liberty, or Property without due process.
Fiat declarations that a queer or an addict is a criminal is not due process.
Oh, so it's the 'Interstate Commerce Clause', is it?
False.

Oh? Prove it. Otherwise you are full of barbra striesand. Where is it false? I am a Constitutionalist, once libertarian, and I would have it no other way. Nor would anyone I know or ever spoke with about it. A borderless world that lived under the same principles as set forth in the Constitution MIGHT be a good place to live. A borderless world under the heel of the UN would be hell on earth. So where am I wrong?
Due process is following the law.
Are county supervisors Congress?
Read the first post.
A master of conversational perversion speaks.
[and one is led to wonder of his obsession with sexual perversion]
The court admirably dispelled falsehoods regarding the actual meaning of the 14th Amendment.
Those reading the Engligh language with the meaning which it ordinarily conveys, those conversant with the political and legal history of the concept of due process, those sensitive to the relations of the States to the central government as well as the relation of some of the provisions of the Bill of Rights to the process of justice, would hardly recognize the Fourteenth Amendment as a cover for the various explicit provisions of the first eight Amendments. Some of these are enduring reflections of experience with human nature, while some express the restricted views of Eighteenth-Century England regarding the best methods for the ascertainment of facts. The notion that the Fourteenth Amendment was a covert way of imposing upon the States all the rules which it seemed important to Eighteenth Century statesmen to write into the Federal Amendments, was rejected by judges who were themselves witnesses of the process by which the Fourteenth Amendment became part of the Constitution.ADAMSON V.
