Dude, take a breath, the lack of oxygen is having an effect on your ability to have a rational discussion. You said "What is wrong is your idea that the Constitution or Bill of Rights is the source of legal authority." To which I cheerfully shot it down by telling you that it is. Why? Because it...

It literally is the source. And the Bill of Rights are a part of the Constitution. Not separate as you seem to think. And, it is a completed work that happens to have a built in lawful process to change it. Finally, considering the abject failure of government to conform to the text those rights...

The Bill of Rights extends to every person via the 14th Amendment “…No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; …” That means that not only CONGRESS shall make no law it means States can’t either. If I were a lawyer...

Agreed. Doesn’t make the OP less true. The media has abandoned any pretext of being an unbiased source of information. They’ve chosen sides and wear that choice as openly as a sponsor blurb on a nascar drivers jacket.

The sad part is that he doesn't have to propose anything. He is the day-to-day supervisor of the Federal Government. All he has to say is "*****, knock it off". Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don't care about regressive or progressive at all. What I care about are your personal freedoms and how the income tax takes them away. Consider: In order to tax income, the fed must know (down to the penny) how much and what types of income you have brought in. They do this by forcing...

I don't think Romney has any chance. He's Obama Lite. Lots of folks will refuse to vote for him on principle. I'd wager a coke that if he's nominated the GOP turnout in November will be low.
