Our society in the USA is bound by our Constitution, correct? You see some activities as a 'culture of death' -- that others see as constitutional issues. Can you acknowledge that you are bound to use constitutional means to resolve those salient issues?

I have no authority to employ the Constitution. I have resolved these issues in myself and seek to resolve them in the minds of those I encounter.

The Constitution exists to limit the authority of government. It serves no other function. My freedom is not granted by the Constitution; rather, the Constitution is restricted from imposing the will of those who govern on my freedom.

Shall the Constitution be employed to resolve civil issues? I think not. The citizenry will, by their hue and cry, impose upon those in authority the requirement that they cease and desist from their abuse of the Constitution.

We are all bound as citizens to support & defend our constitution.


The Oath of Citizenship

If some other citizen violates your rights, you have the authority, and even the duty to employ the US Constitution in your defense, -- and to see that government officials help to resolve such civil issues in a constitutional manner.
