A United States President doesn't have absolute power.
Amongthe leading scholars and practitioners within all fields of human endeavors, many profess concepts of the mightiest' safety being somewhat dependent upon whatever shields are provided for those otherwise unable to protect themselves...

I thought it would be interesting to note on this July 4th, contrary to the propaganda taught to children in government schools, some of the truths about our nation’s founding, and in particularly with regard to our Constitution’s three-fifths clause, which children are falsely taught by...
If I have a well organized militia then I can refer to its organizational laws or rules, right? I wouldn't have to follow onward to the 3rd or even the 4th of the Constitution of the US. Great. Thanks.
Two members of a three-panel 6th Circuit Court of Appeals RULING applied the Humpty-Dumpty theory of language to the meaning regulating commerce among the states, in letting stand the Biden Administration's vaccine mandate.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone...
Why is a federal minimum wage rate needed?
Our federal courts have upheld our Fair Labor Practices Act’s statutes, but there are still those that question the need for it to be federal law. The federal minimum wage rate limits lower wage rate states extents to deliberately or inadvertently...
Very straightforward poll and discussion on a not so simple topic.
Before you vote, do some reading on the life and actions of the abolitionist, John Brown.

Despite all staff wearing masks and behind a plexiglass shield, and despite all patrons in the establishment not wearing masks while they ate and talked to us, I and a lady friend were denied service in Dunkin Doughnuts, and denied equal treatment.

A loophole in the U.S. Constitution, expanded by Congress, lets the president of the United States murder his political enemies with impunity.
Until 1971, persons who attempted to assassinate members of Congress, a candidate for president or vice president, and various other high federal...
How many ways does Trump/Republicans wanna trash the American Constitution?
First, they want to get rid of automatic citizenship for people born in this country.
And they’re talking about policing the Internet so they can stop discussion of trumps lies and criminality.

Why a federal minimum wage law?
There are libertarians and/or credible economists that continue arguing the justification of a minimum wage rate. Currently, all of the world's industrial nations have government laws similar to our federal minimum wage rate, or some quasi-government organization...
Holly shit! Really? Church Police? This is frightening! Sure, the stated purpose is to fight crime on church property, there is no assurance that they wont abuse their police power. Will they be targeting minorities??? This is a racist, homophobic church. Will they be harassing people who don't...
I totally agree with Trump. Perhaps not in the way he states it, but I totally believe there is a slow motion coup continuing even today.
Remember, there are three branches of government, the judicial, the executive, and the legislative.
The judicial are the courts.
The executive is the...
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. filed new charges Thursday against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, accusing him of placing the United States at risk of "serious harm" by publishing thousands of secret and classified documents, including the names of confidential sources for American armed forces...

I was watching his press conference which just ended.
He said because we have asylum that makes us stupid and ridiculous.
And we are laughed at by the rest of the world.
Asylum is right in our Constitution.
So that must mean he thinks our constitution is stupid and ridiculous.

We are witnessing the fall, or groundwork for future fall, of America as it was created. We’re following the same paths as Rome, Germany, Italy, and so many other so called “democracies” under dictatorial leaders and their supporters. “Bad things happen when good people do nothing”or the wrong...
Why Donald Trump is literally terrified of Adam Schiff.

CA is now requiring pet stores to only sell cats, dogs and rabbits that come from animal shelters, effectively putting pure bread breeders out of business. I understand the motivation, but I doubt it's constitutional. You can't deny citizens of a legitimate living.

Any Government, no matter how large or small has a legitimate role to play in equally protecting the Constitutional rights of all "persons" within it's jurisdiction, from the moment their rights and lives begin.
Agree or disagree?
Just what the thread title says.
I have participated on a lot of forums and debate sites for nearly 30 years now and though it is very rare, I have in fact encountered abortion proponents who are not afraid to admit that an abortion kills a child. They agree that an abortion denies prenatal...
I've been wanting to try this for a long time.
The idea of this thread is really very simple. I am curious about what the left's thought process is from start to finish on abortion. Ultimately, since our Constitution is the supreme 'law of the land' it has to come down to a reading...
