Thinking of a new law idea: No Permiting to utilize Bill of Rights

[Haymaker2021]

There shall be no restriction of any kind that inhibit, limit, reduce the use of any and all Constitution rights. Anyone that tries will be tried and found guilty will be punished by a jury of the people from each state.

Please free to add and subtract from this idea.

Government shall create laws that strengthens the individual Rights of the People. Government officials shall be subject to arrest and jail time for violating the civil rights of its citizens.

 

[CamoDeafie]

If Congress people write and vote on bills that violate the civil rights of the People, these elected people shall be held accountable, and must repay the People the equivalent amount of the bills' costs to per citizen, from their own pockets not funded by taxpayers.

Qualified Immunity is hereby REPEALED.

Qualified Immunity is hereby REPEALED.

Qualified immunity is small fish. Absolute immunity is what needs to go. It is what shields lawmakers, prosecutors, and judges from accountability when toying with peoples' constitutional rights. For example, if a prosecutor intentionally hid evidence that proved you were innocent of a crime you were convicted of, they can not be sued and held personally liable for damages under absolute immunity. By the way, that's not a hypothetical - that actually happened and SCOTUS affirmed that the prosecutor couldn't be held liable.

We could just... eliminate politicians in this new concept where only tax-paying citizens that are gainfully employed, are sent to do their civic duty of being Congress people for 2 years and only 2 terms max.

Edit. It'd be awesome if people would view service in Congress the same way people view Jury Duty and not the same way people view being celebrities or CEOs.

People who should be politicians want nothing to do with it and the people who desire the position have no purpose being there.

Who decides what is constitutional?

Who decides what is constitutional?

The CONSTITUTION…….

 

[nammac]

The CONSTITUTION…….

As it should be, taken quite literally.

I take the constitution literally but the problem is even gun rights supporters interpret the constitution differently.

So the question of who gets to decide whats constitutional is still unanswered.

(my vote is literally...)

SCOTUS' job?

SCOTUS' job?

its their job but is also not so simple. What if SCOTUS was packed with anti gun justices who believe the constitution is a "living document"?

That's why the "?" in an ideal US.. (which arguably existed for like 20 years after founding ).. the SCOTUS job is simply to tell Congress to sh*tcan unconstitutional bills before they become law. Part of the whole "checks and balances" against each other.

Are these 2 morons really that stupid or just lying to us about there are no restrictions on ammo sales in-place today?

https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/federal-ccw-law/federal-ammunition-laws/

Who else remembers when ammo sales were recorded as the result of the '68 GCA? It was dropped due to lots of paperwork involved with no benefits. But as we know, logic and effectiveness are not applicable to the anti-freedom crowd.

I will not even attempt to explain to these clowns the USSC has ruled requiring a license for a right makes it a privilege, thus is unconstitutional as I have not faith they can grasp such a basic non-Marxist concept.

So.. why didn't SCOTUS use this to eliminate Illinois' FOID thing, and several States' permit for firearm purchase schemes?

Because no one could successfully argue it is unconstituional.
