Can the Federal Government Ban Anything?

[Ura-Ki]

The ink wasnt even dry on our founding documents before some folks were thinking of ways to ether infringe on us, or simply ignore and bypass them! Nothing new here, other than the size and scope of all that is happening speciffically set against us, We THE PEOPLE!

UP THE REPUBLIC!

No, they can't. They may try, however.

 

[The Heretic]

They can. They have (as pointed out, from the beginning). They will.

They are not supposed to. If we had good judges in office who understood the history, words and intent of the Constitution, the ethics and backbone, most of the unconstitutional laws would be struck down in court, and the system would work as intended and setup.

But it doesn't.

The article I linked to, and other articles on that site are correct in an academic sense. By that I mean that they are technically correct - but as the arguments don't work in court, much less Congress, be the judicial system is more concerned about precedent than first principles. The Congress on the other hand is not concerned about either, being more concerned with the principle of the ends justifying the means - the ends, being their agenda and their power.

Bobby O'Rourke says anybody who doesn't turh in their militia rifles can expect a visit from law enforcement.
