amendment

Okay, sorry to add yet another thread to the wiretap issue, but I seem to have a somewhat different take on the issue than a lot of people, so I'm hoping y'all can shed some light. :) My point of view is this: forget FISA, war powers, Constitutional authority and all that rubbish. Go straight...

Amendment XVI The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration. How do the Tax dodgers explain away the 16th when the claim that the tax is...

http://www.click2houston.com/news/5171783/detail.html?rss=hou&psp=news It seems that the KKK is trying to re-gain it's historical position in mainstream conservative politics. Hopefully, the opposition will exploit this.

because it is contrary to a ballot initiative last year that defined marriage as being "between a man and a woman"> Interesting ... do the people decide or the whores that they elect. (sorry...breaking news on the telly.. not on my usual sources yet....

Kevin Trudeau has an FTC agreement barring him from FTC press release here. Yet he has a new book out that would seemingly be a direct violation of this agreement. Would this book be protected under first amendment issues? Granted, I have not had the pleasure of reading this drivel, but I...

Cylinder wrote (second page near the current top) in this thread: http://www.randi.org/vbulletin/newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&postid=1870990422 I get that. I digest that (now). I still have reservations. My reservations revolve around Parental consent, not so much notifications. I...

Congress Again Debates Protecting the Flag :D

Back in the 90's, when the balanced budget amendment was being debated in Congress, it had near universal support of Republicans and a few Democrats too. Who here supported the balanced budget amendment back then? Do you think balanced budgets matter now? Do you think we'd have a balanced...

at least according to a growing number of students: This from an AP report today (from Salon, registratin needed): Well, fortunately, we've Fox to give government approved information....:p

The threads on the meaning of the SA are going nowhere and augering in to abuse and irrelvant discussion. As I (always the voice of reason) pointed out, any unified position that people in the US don't have a right to own firearms is not in the cards during the lifetimes of all who are reading...

Peter Jennings is on his way to being president. Or George Soros. Think about it. Arnold is not the only game in town.

What with Iraq and WOT dominating the news, I hope this election season the citizenry doesn't forget that the third amendment lies in the balance.

Does this mean that there is no right to bear arms unless you are in a well regulated militia? Which would mean that a citizens claim that he has the right to bear arms is unconstitutional, unless he is part of a regulated militia.

ACLU story I don't recall any flag burnings in the past several weeks or several months or even years. I wonder why this bill made it out of committee today? ---------------------- Perhaps George M. Cohan said it best, "Many a bum show has been saved by the flag."

Here's a good site about a movement to repeal the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, the reasons why, etc.: http://www.articlev.com/repeal_the_17th_amendment.htm And here's their proposed amendment: The 17th Amendment, as the site points out and as I have too several times on this forum...

This is so sad and stupid, it bears repeating. http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/4/222004c.asp Does anyone in this country understand anything?

I (and about a hundred others) recently received this e-mail last week from my very religious, but still loving and thus far non-judgmental, Aunt: "You may have heard in the news that a couple of Post Offices have been forced to take down small posters that say "IN GOD WE TRUST." The law, they...

. . . we should at lest do it right. Marriage shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women. Genesis 29:17-28. Secondly, marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in addition to his wife or wives. II Samuel 5:13 and II Chronicles 11:21. A marriage shall...

Why don't we hear about it anymore? If it had passed we'd still be subject to it. That's the b*tch about amending the Constitution.

Can someone explain to me what the Second Amendment actually means? A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed I thought militias went out with the Civil War? The NRA quotes this all the...

http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/09/03/1062548900752.html Iraq is providing an interesting laboratory of the Second Amendment in action. While not a direct correlation for a similar experience in the US, it is nevertheless worth looking at. Iraq has lots of guns, and lots of crime. The...

Story The man and his associates scare me.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=5&u=/ap/20030630/ap_on_go_co/frist_gay_marriage_4 Senator Frist, the majority leader, wants to try and amend the constitution (!) to say that gay marriage is forbidden. He rather DISINGENUOUSLY adds: He seems to feel that the Supreme...

I was watching a tv show the other day that dealt with vicious dog attacks. Two rottweillers had killed a teenage boy and these dogs had in fact been trained to attack. Now vicious attack dogs are a weapon that easily predates firearms. What if for some reason I can't operate firearms? Say, I...

Alaksa has just passed a bill awaiting signature by the governor that makes it legal to carry firearms without a permit. Since most states have allowed radical leftist attacks and fear-mongering about guns, this move by Alaska is a refreshing breath of freedom. That law needs to be emplaced...

They keep wanting to do this, but it seems nobody's burning the flag: http://www.cleveland.com/world/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/news/1053941647262620.xml Passing this law will guarantee that more flags will be burned than otherwise would be. A country's flag is more than just a flag. You...
