The federal government lacks jurisdiction...

Don't ever think that under this all powerful Fed Gov. They have stuck their nose into many other issues where they had no jurisdiction, they have sued states over policies/local laws they don't believe in (and courts have sided with the O'Bammy), they are a tyrannical bunch of street thugs. AMERICA YOU VOTED THIS GANG OF CIMINALS IN TO RULE OVER YOU, SO NOW JUST LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT.

I am with Mark Levin - our last chance of saving the Republic is for the States to call a Convention to amend the Constitution - bypassing the Congress - and a great start is "The Liberty Amendments".

“It’s a joke that THIS congress has a Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights.

I guess their job is finding ways to stomp out the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights.”

It’s not a mystery. All politicians like to win elections. Black people vote. Unfortunately, not many will vote for a quality candidate like Alan West.

Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham are both on that committee. Al Franken, Chuck Schumer too.

And we pay for this circus and these clowns.

The U.S. Senate’s warming up to comply with the demand from the U.N. that we repeal Stand Your Ground laws.

Hmmm, anyone know why that little American boy king has not yet signed the UN Arms Trade Treaty as he had promised to do while Congress was off on their "August FIVE WEEK VACATION"?

We all know that the “Comic” Franken should not be a Senator and that he cheated his way to victory. Hey Minnesocold you will shortly have a chance to replace this jerk

If there was any justice and honesty to the process the message would be “My aggressive thug son is why SYG laws are needed in all 50 states.”

I didn’t say that it’s a MYSTERY. I said that its a JOKE. The US Senate is the enemy of the Constitution, true Civil Rights, and true Human Rights. Everything they (both D and R) do serves their Lord Obama and not the people or the Constitution.

I’ll try to make it simple for you.

TRUE Civil Rights are rights for all people—not just for protected classes of Democrat voters.

TRUE Human Rights are rights for all people—born and unborn.

The CONSTITUTION should be self-explanatory, but it protects ALL Americans, regardless of skin color.

The fact that this committee ever existed is not the joke. At one time, it was necessary to create equality. The joke is that a Senate that seems intent on unwriting the US Constitution, and on creating only lopsided Civil Rights and Human Rights is a joke.

The fact that blacks sell their votes is not the issue, except that the Senate is willing buy those votes—which is another reason why the committee is a JOKE.

O’Reilly also stated regarding Martin...

“because he looked a certain way he lost his life”

Martin lost his life because he assaulted Zimmerman.
O’Reilly is a pinhead to think any differently.

Oh no! Another simpleton. Please don’t try to reeducate me. Leave that up to the government schools with approval from the NEA.
