Free Republic

We should also note that the constitutional prohibition of slavery goes back to 1865.

Just after Mar 9th, 1916, A US Army major named Frank Tompkins received permission from his CO to mount up a troop of 32Four US cavalry to pursue 400 battered Villistas across the Mexican border after the Columbus raid, where about 70 of Villa’s men had been killed by US Army troops and civilians. When they encountered Villa’s rear guard, established to cover their retreat, they halted and began picking of Villa riders with their 1903 Springfields from up to 1500 yards away.

Tompkins sent a note to his CO to continue in hot pursuit after the Villistas. He received it and chased them FIFTEEN MILES into Mexico, reinforced by another 27 riders. Tompkins wondered why they didn’t stand and fight, outnumbering his force greatly, but he decided to take full advantage of their hesitancy. They killed between 75-100 of Villa’s men, and Tompkins and one of his men received minor bullet wounds.

Tompkins CO, Col. Slocum, recommended Tompkins for the Medal of Honor, but the award was downgraded to a Distinguished Service Cross, which still ain’t exactly chopped liver.

DEMONRATS were crazed by Rudi Guliani’s use of stop and frisk pat down of the outer clothing for weapons to secure officer safety, which SCOTUS, in the case of Terry vs Ohio, deemed constitutional provided the officer could articulate a reasonable suspicion that the suspect so targeted was involved in criminal activity.

Random bag searches has GOT to be unconstitutional, no matter what is the rationale.

The unit that made the assault on Pointe Du Hoc was the 2nd Battalion of the Provisional Ranger Group, attached to the 1st Infantry Division.

I believe in science. A HUMAN BEING has 46 chromosomes. A sperm cell or an egg has only 23 chromosomes.

​​Therefore a sperm cell or egg IS NOT A human being until CONCEPTION occurs, and the 46 chromosomes intertwine. At that point, the HUMAN BEING begins.

The lunatic fanatical hard core among them will never accept a Trump election. The best we can hope for is to force them to submit to it.

The firearms that they most want to ban are the ones that should be MOST protected by the second amendment.

Thanks for that update, I was not aware of this subsequent ruling. Let us hope that we can at least have some of the PA election irregularities and outright fraud that was detailed in this report prepared for the Trump campaign.

while it is true that Act 77 was passed by the state legislature, it seems to have violated the PA state constitution’s requirements on absentee voting. The second highest court in PA found that Act 77 was unconstitutional on that basis.

The Commonwealth Court, in a 3-2 January decision, found that the Pennsylvania Constitution requires voters to appear at the polls in person unless they have one of a number of excuses specified in amendments that allow voting by absentee ballot. The opinion cited two cases both more than 100 years old.

In the opinion by the Supreme Court majority, Justice Christine Donohue wrote the courts were interpreting a version of that constitution that predated Pennsylvania’s voter registration laws when “arguably, the only way to verify an individual’s qualifications to vote in an election district was to allow his neighbors to identify him as qualified.”

Actually, it is a good and fine thing when your enemy reveals their world view. It makes planning counter strategies easier...

Where are the receipts? (If this is true, then they should be for the same goods and services at the same time and on the same day.)

Hormone levels do not address the advantages conferred upon males during and after adolescence by the geometric leverage advantages of bone structure, bone density, and tendon and ligament insertions.

This whole farce negates the REASON for “Women’s Sports” in the first place. Competitive female athletes can NEVER aspire to be champions in any sport that that involves the attributes of physical strength, and or speed, and or power.

Men are simply innately superior to women in this regard. Overwhelmingly.

Aboriginal Americans (Indians) who were subject to tribal jurisdiction were not even US citizens until 1924, by a congressional act.

Being born a citizen does not necessarily make one eligible for the office of POTUS under Article II, section one, clause 5. A person made a citizen at birth via the Immigration and Naturalization Act does not even have to be born in the US, ala Ted Cruz.

The constitution gives an explicit definition for only one provision, that of treason. Terms such as “well regulated militia,”, “interstate commerce”, and “freedom of speech” are best understood in light of the times that the framers construed them. Many of those terms that the founders adopted were explained in the 1758 treatise on international law that was probably the most pre-eminent and frequently referenced study on those subjects at the time.

The Natural Born Citizen eligibility clause has never been directly adjudicated by SCOTUS. But it has been obliquely addressed in other cases.

In 1814, the SCOTUS heard a case known as the Venus Merchantman case. Among other issues, it concerned itself with the impressment of US merchant sailors by the British Royal Navy into their service on the high seas. That SCOTUS, ALL of whom being members of the founding generation defined what a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN was by quoting the entire 212th paragraph of Emmerich De Vatel’s Law of Nations, which was considered to be THE treatise on international law and was referred to regularly by statesmen at the time. That definition, which was incorporated into the majority opinion authored by Justice Livingston follows:

Quote of section 212, Chapter 19, Book 1, Law of Nations, by Vattel, written in 1758:

Ҥ 212 - Citizens and Natives. The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to
this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its
advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents
who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the
children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and
succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what
it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen,
on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The
country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens
merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of
discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they
were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of
a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of
his birth, and not his country. “

Note that the above reference was made in 1814, 54 years before the adoption of the 14th amendment, which makes no reference to, nor does it modify Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the constitution, no matter what the original intent might have been. The framers of the constitution were patriarchs, who believed that the citizenship status of the children followed that of the father. It is clear that they were concerned with undue foreign influence upon the office of the presidency, PARTICULARLY from a father owing allegiance to a foreign sovereignty.

To believe that the framers would have accepted that a person born a British subject, (as Obama himself admitted to being owing to his FATHER) when they had to exempt themselves with the grandfather exemption in clause 5 of Section 2 in order to be POTUS eligible, beggars belief and logic. Subsequent rulings of the SCOTUS in Minor vs Happersett, and Wong Kim Ark vs US serve only bolster this conclusion.

I believe that the court is reluctant to examine this issue, given the ghastly implications for the actuality of an illegitimate POTUS having made executive decisions for 2 terms, and the reality of an ineligible VP casting votes as the President of the Senate. How would all of their actions be unraveled? It would be a God awful mess of the worst sort...

The Kansas amendment improves on the version in the Federal constitution. Perhaps THAT should serve as the basis for a new amendment to the constitution!!!

The Term “Mil-Spec” AR-15 refers to an AR that has parts (with the exceptions that I will list) that are manufactured to US Govt specifications with regard to metallurgy, dimensions, and tolerances for those M-16 variants that are acceptable for US government acceptance. For instance, the “Mil-Spec” upper receiver of a Military M-4/M4A1 carbine is identical to that of a “Mil-Spec” AR-15 receiver save for barrel length, so as to comply with the unconstitutional NFA of 1934. Even so, a few minutes with an armorer’s wrench would allow the military 14.5” carbine barrel to substitute for the 16” civilian one. Every other single part of the upper receiver, to include the bolt carrier group, front sight/gas block, gas tube, ejection port cover, handguards, and forward assist will all readily exchange.

The lower receiver has the exact same external dimensions, and either lower receiver will interchange and function (in semi-auto that is) with either platform by pushing out the two retaining pins. The only significant difference is a hole drilled for the auto sear pin, and a shelf machined into the lower receiver to inhibit the substitution of the NFA legal “civilian” fire control parts with the selective fire parts of the “military” rifle, which are the 5 following parts, the hammer, the disconnector/sear, the auto sear, the selector/safety lever, and the trigger.

When I was an infantry squad leader in Nam, I was constantly admonishing my squad mates to make discriminating use of the full auto position, because the M-16A1 rifle was really a semi-auto rifle capable of full auto to be used that way in a few circumstances like breaking contact in ambushes, the final stages of an assault, final protective line fire, and to gain initial fire superiority. Using it as a squad automatic weapon would invite overheating, and premature wear and breakage, as it was not designed for the purpose of sustained automatic fire. So the “Mil-Spec” civilian version of the M-16 platform is, for all practical purposes identical to the military version in the role for which it was principally intended to fulfill, along with near total parts interchangeability.

A militia has been defined by SCOTUS as a “body of citizens intended for military purposes.” If that is true, then the selective fire version of the M-16 family is PRECISELY the weapon suitable for that type of organization. We need to repeal the unconstitutional NFA, and restore the militia to the prominence of place that it once had prior to the adoption of the National Guard in 1903 with the passage of the Dicke Act.

The 2nd amendment was not intended to allow you to punch holes in paper targets and to shoot bunny rabbits. (even though it serves incidentally to allow for that too, along with any other lawful purpose) It serves to provide an additional bulwark that is “necessary to the security of a free state.”

Exactly. Even more to the point, Trump was acquitted of incitement to insurrection in the grotesquely farcical second impeachment senate trial.

In the twisted word view of LGBQTIA+ transgenderism and intersectionality, the seeming irrationality makes perfect sense.

She was a woman. Her mental illness caused her to reject and probably despise the biological reality of her birth. Therefore she decided to arbitrarily declare herself as a man. Similarly, her psychopathy’s, fueled by a perverse cultural marxist and nihilistic self hatred, recognized her Caucasian racial identity as that of a hateful colonizing, genocidal and oppressive homophobic entity that deserves destruction, along with the innocent victims that she targeted.

We are dealing with a whole new level of demonic anti-human and destructive forces that have been gathering steam and are on the verge of coalescing into a firestorm of civilizational annihilation.

Trump was ACQUITED of incitement of insurrection in the second Senate impeachment trial.
