I am a Constitutional Fundie. I believe in the Constitution of the United States in all of its glory. I believe that its delegation of authority, and limits on authority of government should be considered absolute. I believe in civil liberties.
You dont really mean that do you.
QUOTE
The Preamble lists five purposes for the Constitution:
1) Providing for better cooperation among the states
2) Ensuring justice and peace
3) Providing for defense against invasion
4) Promote the general well being of the population
5) Securing liberties now and in the future
None of the above applies to the native peoples thats for darn sure.
The constitution seems to be a document of convience, thats not much worth more than the paper its printed on. Looking at the excepts from the preamble only further reinforce that conclusion. American government is seriously flawed and off track.
QUOTE
The fourth amendment guards against unreasonable searches, arrests, and seizures of property.
You dont watch cops to often do you. This is the most disregarded sentence in american legislation.
QUOTE
The fifth forbids trial for a major crime except after indictment by a grand jury; prohibits repeated trials for the same offense after an acquittal (except in certain very limited circumstances); forbids punishment without due process of law; and provides that an accused person may not be compelled to testify against himself.
There is always civil court.
QUOTE
The sixth guarantees a speedy public trial for criminal offenses. It requires trial by a jury (of peers), guarantees the right to legal counsel for the accused, and guarantees that the accused may require witnesses to attend the trial and testify in the presence of the accused.
(of peers) thats a new one. Peers equal late to middle aged, cacasian and republican
QUOTE
The eighth forbids excessive bail or fines, and cruel and unusual punishment.
Like firing squad or public hangings
QUOTE
The tenth provides that powers the Constitution does not delegate to the United States and does not prohibit the states from having are "reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
This one is the kicker. States rights to be assholes
P.S.
QUOTE
You can say you only believe in Jesus, but unless you have a 2000 year old friend, the only way you "know" jesus is through your readings of a book about him.
Do you "know" George Washington let me guess you read a book about him or you have a 200 year old friend.
But I guess that makes too much sense, since you cant prove the existance of someone that you have no firsthand knowledge of.
