Do you believe that the Constitution guarantees and covers everyone in the world? Did the framers of the Constitution envision constitutional rights for those who not only live outside the country but may denounce the Constitution and the U.S. and all that it stands for? Do you think the framers of the Constitution would have envisioned a court system that abides by the letter rather than the spirit of the law. The spirit has been so distorted by the letter, misinterpretation, I don't believe the founders would recognize the U.S. as the same country. The judcial system could be Great! But it is so abused by trial lawyers its often a sham! The Simpson case is just one example. And Dershowitz is a good reason why we need to recover the real meaning of seperation of powers. The judicial system in the U.S. has usurped power to legislate law, in the name of interpretation, more than too many times. Can you tell I'm not a fan of Dershitz. Lawyers like him, and there are many, make me leary of the whole system.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, and had much involvment with the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. He was a student of Enlightenment-era philosophers like Locke and Montesquieu - people who first came up with the concepts of checks-and-balances and seperation of church and state. Does the Declaration of Independence not contain language about "inalienable human rights", not "inalienable American rights"? So yes, I do think the ideals of the U.S. Constitution should be applied whenever possible, even for non-citizens.
Have you ever served your country brain?
I'm not old enough to have served in anything, thank you.
