We must restore constitutional government


While I agree individuals must have firearm rights the state should not be infringing upon, when it comes to state legislation like this, it is the state constitution that has to be used, not the federal constitution.
The federal Bill of Rights really just restricts the federal government, not state or local government.
After the Civil War, and the 14th amendment, there has been a trend towards more supreme court defense of individual rights, but the 4th and 5th amendments create more of a gun rights penumbra than the 2nd does.

That was true until the incorporation doctrine. States must now comply with every amendment to the Constitution. If they have to comply with the 1st Amendment, then they have to comply with the 2nd Amendment.

Wrong. The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution establishes the constitution as the highest law in the land. That means any state or local law cannot conflict with the constitution nor can they override constitutional rights.
 
We must restore constitutional government. This is an absolute abomination. All laws must be applied equally to all citizens. Having special laws for some citizens which include harsher sentences is the polar opposite of everything the U.S. justice systems was designed for.

The people tasked with enforcing our laws are the same people violating our most important laws....

Beyond the controversial ways stingray technology works, the secrecy and deception law enforcement agencies use to cloak their use of the devices is also troubling. Law enforcement agencies around the country have routinely used the devices without obtaining a warrant from judges. In cases where they did obtain a warrant, they often deceived judges about the nature of the technology they planned to use. Instead of telling judges that they intended to use a stingray or cell site simulator, they have often mischaracterized the technology, describing it as a pen register device instead.

The Constitution was written by all white men... many of which owned slaves. When Liberals asail the Founders for being all white, owned slaves, yet Liberals hail constitution, whose or which constitution are liberals referring?

Doesn’t take more than one skin color to write a constitution. :eusa_doh:

Agreed but when the Left does not agree with the Constitution, they say it was written by white male slaveowners.

So what? That was common and legal at the time. In other words "normal". Also, we haven't had slavery in the U.S. since 1865, and we've "fixed" that part of our country as the times and people's attitudes changed. That doesn't make the Constitution invalid.

You haven't "fixed" the damage caused by slavery. It's still ongoing. Every time someone posts that blacks are inferior to whites. That's the legacy of slavery.

Bloomberg's discussion of "redlining", which is really legalized discrimination in mortgage lending, and blaming the 2008 housing market crash on the end of the practice, shows that not much has changed over the past two hundred plus years. Blacks from poor neighbourhoods should not be allowed to buy property. This is why, after 300 years in this country blacks hold so little of American wealth.

Poor white people can still get a mortgage. Americans are a nation of home owners. White home owners. In 1968, 50% of blacks owned their homes. That number is unchanged 50 years later. Home ownership is the key to creating personal wealth for the working class.

And what happened in 1967? Lyndon B. Johnson’s massive interference in healthcare (Medicare and Medicaid) and his “War on Poverty”.

Thank you for proving that government interference sets minorities back generations.
 
The left is terrified that we might actually restore constitutional government...
On Monday, Justice Brett Kavanaugh sent the clearest signal yet that the Supreme Court’s conservative majority is ready to take a wrecking ball to federal regulations. By doing so, the court could jeopardize a vast swath of laws that govern pollution, Wall Street, wage and hour rules, campaign finance limits, and more.
If those “federal regulations” were actually important, then Congress would pass them as law instead of the Executive branch forcing them on the American people via unconstitutional executive fiat.

Remind me again where in the U.S. Constitution the federal government was placed in charge of healthcare and thus authorized to spend tax payer dollars on it.
The Senate on Thursday easily passed more than $8 billion in funding to fight the coronavirus, sending the measure to President Trump, who is expected to sign it.
$8 fucking billion on a stupid ass flu bug. We must restore constitutional government.

The United States is currently functioning under Constitutional government, nothing needs to be ‘restored’ – the notion is moronic, baseless idiocy.
This is a violation of the 2nd Amendment and an egregious violation of H.R.5013 (the “Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006”). And yet, CCJ wants you to believe that we are currently operating under constitutional government. :eusa_doh:

We must restore constitutional government.
It authorizes, among other things, federal contract prioritization, material allocation, loan guarantees, and direct federal investments in industries. But it does not supersede the Constitution and the limited powers conferred upon Congress and the President.
The left wants to convince everyone that every piece of legislation grants the federal government unlimited power.

 
“We must restore constitutional government”

Such is the ignorant nonsense of the TPM and others on the ridiculous right.

The United States is currently functioning under Constitutional government, nothing needs to be ‘restored’ – the notion is moronic, baseless idiocy.

The Federal government is functioning as intended by the Founding Generation: a Constitutional Republic whose citizens are subject solely to the rule of law, not men – as men are incapable of ruling justly.

A Federal government afforded by the Constitution powers both expressed and implied (McCulloch v. Maryland (1819)).

A Federal government whose laws are supreme, where the Supreme Court determines what the Constitution means, as authorized by the doctrine of Judicial Review and Articles III and VI of the Constitution, and where rulings by the Supreme Court become the law of the land, binding on the states and local jurisdictions, who have no ‘right’ to ‘nullify’ or ‘ignore’ Federal law or the rulings of Federal courts (Cooper v. Aaron (1958)).

That conservatives, libertarians, and members of the TPM disagree with Supreme Court decisions because those rulings might conflict with errant, wrongheaded conservative dogma is of no consequence and devoid of merit.

No the US government is not at all constitutional.
The current interpretations and procedures make the federal government not only supreme over the states, but in control of almost all laws, such as drugs, firearms, travel, censorship, taxation, etc., and all of that is not only completely wrong, but explicitly against the constitution.

First of all, we have to remember that the Bill of Rights are absolute restrictions on the federal government, that were contingent on any states even being willing to join the Union. So violation of the Bill of Rights essentially nullifies the whole country. And things like the 2nd amendment are not just a statement of rights, but an absolute prohibition on any and all federal jurisdiction over weapons at all. So ANY and ALL federal weapons laws are completely and extremely illegal.

That is not just the BATF that is illegal then, but also the DEA, FDA, and all federal agencies that are not just advisory, except the few that are actually authorized by the constitution, such as the coast guard, ambassadors, the post office, federal reserve, and a few others.

Clearly the founders wrote the Constitution to make states supreme, not the federal government. There are very few areas where the federal government is at all authorized, and even fewer where the federal government is supposed to be able to over ride a state.
