Private citizens are not subject to the constitution.
We are all obliged to support the Law of the Land. -- You need to reread Article VI.
The constitution only applies to the goverment.
Wrong. -- "In a constitutional republic, the constitution is the supreme law, superior to all other public acts, whether by officials or private citizens. Any statute, regulation, executive order, or court ruling which is inconsistent with that supreme law and not derived from it is unconstitutional and null and void from inception.
A citizen not only has the duty to obey the law, but to help enforce it, within his ability, and to do what he can to prepare himself and others to do so."
Private citizens are protected from the goverment by the constitution, and more specifically by the amendments.
I agree. And in return for liberty under the Constitution, most of us have pledged to support its principles. In fact such an oath is required of ALL officials & naturalized citizens.
I think it should be required of everyone who votes.
"Wrong. -- "In a constitutional republic"
Really? So my ermployer has to let me put up "this place sucks" signs on my office wall? He does have to grant me "free speech", doesnt he?
Seriously, read the constitution again. There are no laws in there for private citizens, only protections. Laws (and therefore goverment) are subject to the constitution. Pprivate citizens are not.
"We are all obliged to support the Law of the Land. -- You need to reread Article VI."
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in
Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the
Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the
Judges in every State shall be bound thereby"
See where it says "and the
Judges in every State shall be bound thereby" at the end? It applies to goverment, not private citizens. I'm not saying we cant be arrested, however, we are arrested under statutes, not constitutional law.
