The Constitution -- Merely A Guide?

Has the Constitution become merely a guide, and not the law of our founding principles? What about The Bill of Rights? Have we made detours around the Constitution in order to better serve this nation and her citizens? Have we allowed the Constitution to be interpreted, in order to make adjustments based on current events and changing times? Have we altered the intent of the Constitution, in order to accommodate a select group, or a self-serving cause?

Considerations have been given to gun control, restrictive lawful assembly, restrictive prayer and religious applications, discrimination based on appearance, search and seizure authority, restrictive free speech, the legal invasion of privacy, tax collection and distribution of taxes, restrictive displaying of the American flag, the lack of government transparency, abusive use of eminent domain, and executive power.

"Has the Constitution become merely a guide, and not the law of our founding principles?" - false choice "What about The Bill of Rights?" - what about it? It's a part of the Constitution

"Have we altered the intent of the Constitution?" just what do you imagine the intent of the US Constitution was? Hmm... :popcorn:

Sonny no law prevents the flying of the american flag.
And I never once said there was a law. So, your point is?
Your restrictive this and that?
From the op?

Yea.


And free speech has been restricted since the country was founded.

You not being aware of that isnt an excuse for any of the drama queening.
Where have I ever said that there was a law against flying the American flag? You accused me, now back it up.

Yes. Correct. Displaying the American flag. Yes, several reports, especially in Florida, where a Vet had a flag pole in his front yard, flying the American flag, and was told it wasn't allowed. The court upheld the HOA rules, and forced him to take the flag down. But, There are NO laws that prevent anyone from flying the American flag.
 
Has the Constitution become merely a guide,
To Republicans? Apparently.

Obama has been asking for a new AUMF for 6 months, and the Republican House has refused to do their Constitutional duty.

100% stupid and liberal of course:

But he told C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" that it is even "more so for Democrats."

"There is a lot of Democratic opposition, which is pretty unusual," Cole said. "The president is essentially a war president without a war party.

"A lot of his folks will not vote for anything," Cole said. "There are others you have to so finely nuance the resolution, things like, we don't have an enduring ground mission — what does that mean?"

Cole was referring to perhaps the five most contentious words in the White House's draft AUMF. The Obama administration's measure would prohibit US forces from engaging in "enduring offensive ground combat operations" — but no one on Capitol Hill seems to know what that means.

Administration witnesses have yet to assuage Democrats, who believe the phrase is too open-ended, or Republicans, who view it as too limiting.

Property rights. HOA rules are about property rights. Whether the guy is a veteran or not is irrelevant. I wonder if he had to take down the pole.

Regardless, there are restrictions on flying the American Flag in this country. I just posted several examples. Please read them.
