This is all so tied into the sordid history of racism and the very ugly history of America in the wake of the Civil War, when abolitionists had done all they could and lost steam while the SCT operated to fan the racist flames with the canard about the 14th Amendment, among other things.GWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05814327154035433443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492310882851199969.post-22388280730364033082010-03-03T10:03:44.882-05:002010-03-03T10:03:44.882-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.オテモヤンhttp://e-nixi.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492310882851199969.post-17119294295719123492010-03-03T08:44:59.354-05:002010-03-03T08:44:59.354-05:00I've never, ever grasped the absurdity of argu...I've never, ever grasped the absurdity of arguing, claiming, or otherwise supporting the notion that the BoR does not necessarily extend down to the individual citizen through the several states. <br /><br />It is inherently obvious that if the State, as opposed to the Fed, can violate the rights, then there are no such rights at all. If the Constitutional protections don't apply to the states, then any state can enact laws enslaving a portion of each individual state, and one of the underlying principles to protect smaller groups from the tyranny of larger groups, "vote with your feet" becomes null and void since the State can thereby restrict your movement out of the State, even if the Fed can't.<br /><br />The end result of this is that there would be no freedom of any kind. I think it's pretty damned obvious that's not what the FF's intended at all. <br /><br />Q.E.D. -- the FF could not have assumed that the laws of any State superseded the individual rights assumed to all and sundry under the BoR. They are the "inalienable rights of each and every man" -- inalienable to the several States as well as to the Federal government.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492310882851199969.post-16662832937552091772010-03-03T04:22:49.168-05:002010-03-03T04:22:49.168-05:00I just saw the news on Fox, thanks for the backgro...I just saw the news on Fox, thanks for the background, here's to hoping the court rules in favor of gun rights, up there with the most basic of human rights if you ask me.MathewKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385674205383405783noreply@blogger.com
