...the 5th Amendment was gutted by the 'Supreme Soviet' (whoever the h#ll that is). If anything the decision started to return the Amendment to its original intent, prior to 1897.

You and your friends are so hell bent on disrupting this thead, that you agree that we, AS AMERICANS, have no property rights? That the goobermint can decide that my lot would bring in more tax revenue if 24hr Fitness was parked there, instead of my home? Wait until the bulldozers show up at your house. Then you'll know what "The Supreme Soviet" is.

Take another snort of Wild Turkey. After all, it's 3:00 somewhere....

No sunshine, I am just pointing out until 1897, 30 years after the passage of the 14th Amendment, the 5th Amendment did not apply to the states.

This was changed by the vote of an 'activist' court. You should really read the opinion sometime. I believe it to be disingenuous to have a site (the Judge Greer one) with a lead quote from Jefferson (which doesn't apply in this situation in any sense of the word) and goes on to claim the 5th and 6th as some sort of protection, when in fact the Framers would have disagreed with you.

Every issue that does not deal with specific enumerated powers, such as defense, was intended to be handled by the separate and sovereign states. For us to accept your argument of Constitutional protection, we would have to take the stance of liberals. Sort of like what you've been doing.

I have no idea what you're talking about. And the song says it's 5:00 somewhere...
