So when one tears away the facade, YOU are the one that believes the Constitution is a suicide pact . . . We are stuck with government no matter how far it wanders for the contract that established it, or if it alters on a whim what we are "allowed" to do, we must meekly comply or we will be eliminated.
Or you just apply a little fucking common sense.
It's fine that you describe your personal opinion as "common sense" but it's obvious you do that to avoid defending your goofy "suicide pact" statement. You are the one arguing a model that leaves the people without any relief from a bad government that no longer respects and obeys the principles of its establishment or the rules of its operation.
You demand only unquestioning obedience from the people without any recognition of their sovereignty and their right to consent to be governed.
Is "consent to be governed" just voting? What happen when elections are corrupt or cancelled by government?
What the hell is the, "consent to be governed" to you, if you reject any notion (let alone action) of the people rescinding their consent to be governed?
Instead of the Constitution being a contract to limit government and protect the people from government, you are arguing it is a delayed death warrant, able to be imposed at the discretion of the government at a time they shall determine.
THAT's why I call you people, leftist, statist authoritarians . . .
I'm combining your last comment in this post on militias, with my reply in your next post about Miller
