You and your friends are so hell bent on disrupting this thead, that you agree that we, AS AMERICANS, have no property rights?

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.

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

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

Until 1897, if someone tried to steal your land or cattle, you could shoot them. I didn't quote Jefferson. You must be mixing me up with someone else. I'm taking the stance that we supposedly are protected by the Constitution. Obviously, I'm wrong according to you.

The framers of the Constitution are rolling in their graves.

Awwww, don't be so coy.
