Kennedy’s Libertarian Revolution. Lawrence’s reach.

Why, in your opinion, is Oregons assisted suicide law unconstitutional?

[Cultural Jihad]

Abortions have been committed against over 40 million Americans since Roe-v-Wade. The 500,000 recent needless deaths were from the form of murder-suicide called 'homosexual sodomy.'

If only the Libertarians could resuurrect Thomas Jefferson and have him rewrite the DOI Preamble so as to get rid of those pesky inalienable rights...

[Cultural Jihad]

Please cj, try to argue the threads legal points for a change, and avoid your emotional outbursts.

Excuse me for believing that the inalienable right to life trumps the ideologue's right to proselytize and preach an early, unnecessary death.

"In essence they have nullified the Declaration of Independence"
-cj-

Bizarre line.
How, in essence. has the Declaration of Independence been nullified?

Detail your case. Two bits you can't.

[tpaine]

Another pointless libertarian hate rant, cj.
You're simply spamming the thread.

[tpaine]

spam

[tpaine]

Inane spam.

[CWOJackson]

I think he might have a crush on you.

[tpaine]

Faggy spam.

[jmc813]

You never answered my question from the other day. If the good people of any given state wanted to legalize gay marriage, the feds should have no power to stop that, right?

[CWOJackson]

Faggy Spam?

I've heard of BBQ Spam, Lite Spam, Turkey Spam but never Faggy Spam...or are you doing more with the miracle meat then using it as food?

[Tribune7]

What should constrain judges when interpreting the Constitution?

[Cultural Jihad]

No, I would oppose that on moral grounds. The government may not establish laws which do harm to the very moral foundations of society. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.

[jmc813]

Faggy Spam?

Does Registered still post to FR? If so, I bet he could work magic with that one.

[jmc813]

No, I would oppose that on moral grounds. The government may not establish laws which do harm to the very moral foundations of society. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.

Man, I really had some hope for you on that. I will take that into consideration the next time you use the 10th Amendment argument (which I use in opposing Lawrence) to argue your point on that ruling.

[MHGinTN]

You wrote, "The difficulty in this approach is determining when an action does NOT hurt others, and is thus a protected liberty, and when it DOES hurt others and is thus a proscribed 'license'."

The way that was dealt with--in order to grant license to kill the unborn--in 1973 was to sweep aside the notion that the unborn are individual human beings and thus persons worthy of protection from having their LIFE taken from them without due process of law. Oh, to be sure, no one wrote such a truth in the Roe v Wade ruling ... it was the underlying assumption that a woman's liberty trumped the LIFE of a non-person.

[Cultural Jihad]

Just because there's a 10th Amendment is no reason to allow a state to mandate that everyone sacrifice their first born son, or attend my church, or not attend any church, or ban voting.

As long as the dismembership of the helpless human baby occurs behind hallowed closed doors, that is.

All of the examples you gave are taken care of in the Constitution. Where is marriage addressed in the Constitution?

[Kevin Curry]

The law makers have to determine the 'compling reason' for a specific law, . . .

And what's a "compelling reason"? Whatever five or more unelected, "progressive," pro-sodomy, pro-abortion, pro-affirmative action, anti-gun, elitist, superlegislating SCOTUS justices say it is--or isn't.

SCOTUS epitomizes the all-powerful federal tyrant, disenfrachising the other 270,000,000 US citizens in one fell swoop from the great experiement of self-government.

You worship raw power in the hands of an unelected five-headed tyrant. That's not libertarianism by any stretch of the imagination. You are one dense nut, tpaine.
