![]() Doesn't matter. We can just ignore the Constitution or declare it to mean something other than what it clearly states. Which is just about wtf it has become -- a constitutional republic in name only and in which the leaders have no inkling of the meaning of the Constitution or the Federalist Papers. In 20 years I have watched in alarm as courts redefined basic terms of law to mean something entirely different from the definition intended. Both the left and right wing courts and politicians are very clever and adept at it. That's the reason why the creep flight surgeon who has made out the farcical papers we have to sign to apply for our medicals has required us to say whether we've been convicted of affray at 15 or joyriding at 17, or had to attend driving school to get points off our driver licenses. And yes, the Patriot Act is a misnomer. It's more appropriately called the Jackboot Act. |

![]() "Peter Gottlieb" wrote in message . net... "Rutger" wrote in message om... RKBA. I'll probably be sorry about asking, but what is the RKBA? No you won't. He's talking about the 2nd Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms as expressed in the 2nd Amendment has been translated by Scotus as not absolute. The right has been tied to the state militias as not an individual right. Of course, I agree with Jefferson's interpretation of the right to bear arms, being as the government always moves to get too big for its breeches and should sometimes be made to look down the business end of a gun barrel. However, I don't think Jefferson anticipated that the barrels of the people's guns are puny and minuscule compared to those of big brother. |

Not so fast: http://www.drudgereport.com/flash5.htm Am I the only one who finds it curious that people were challenging the authenticity of these documents almost from the very moment they were released? These are such obvious forgeries it is no wonder at all. CBS is 'standing by' their documents, but nobody else believes them. |

![]() "John Harlow" wrote in message ... C J Campbell wrote: "John Harlow" wrote in message ... Bush's attempts to legislate morality. Oh? I suppose you could suggest what some of these attempts were? http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...0040224-2.html This appears to be an attempt to prevent others from legislating morality, or simply imposing their version of morality from the judicial bench. No, it is a desire to control an individual's choice as to who they can marry. It's none of Bush's damn business who I, you or anybody else choose to marry. As a Mormon, I find blaming this view on Bush as extremely laughable. |

Of course, this is not the first time that Kerry and associates have been forging documents, is it? There was that little scam on Western Union during the war, where friends and relatives of servicemen in Vietnam would get telegrams beginning, "We regret to inform you that...." Nasty little trick, that, but Kerry would probably just as soon that no one was reminded of it. |
