Assume Bush says he thinks Palin is the new pres and says he will hand over to her refusing to give Pelosi any way to bcome pres even for a few days. The Dems go crazy. A blue state or two decide they will not recognize Palin as Pres. Republicans in these two blue states are attacked. Palin sends in the Nat Guard..............new American Civil War. Could it really happen this easily? You really need to read the Constitution. Harry, I spend 99.999% of my time reading techie stuff and have not read the Constitution since i was 25 yrs old. Well, it isn't a lengthy document and most of it is pretty straightforward. Then how come the judges seem to have so many conflicting opinions regarding what the Constitution says? Simple. The writers of the first amendment were *not* talking about pornographic DVDs. The defence lawyers were having to deliberately misrepresent it to get their clients off. Obvious misrepresentation leads to arguments from the prosecution. Andrew Swallow I wonder if the writers of the second amendment were talking about any of the sorts of firearms around these days? They were talking about anything a State Government may use to shoot an invasion by British soldiers. Or Federal troops. Not crossposted. Played The Gauntlet down in Fredricksburg today. Lost about nine balls. Miserable course. Shot 108. Will probably never go back. |

Unless you think the 1st amendment doesn't cover modern methods of publication or the 4th covers telephones. Precisely. The first and second amendments are open-ended, but the first does contain that specific phrase, "Congress shall make no law..." That means that Congress cannot even attempt to regulate freedom of speech." But, of course, it does, and so do local governments. |
