Cruddy idea. The worlds best nations have, and pretty much always have had, a federalised government. the US has only become the worlds' most dominant power after the federal govt. really took over the reigns.


Those the are willing to give up an essential liberty in exchange for a little temporary security, deserve neither liberty nor security.

I don't see how having an income tax violates the 4th Amendment, considering that IRS agents don't enter private homes without a warrant to conduct audits.

They take proprety without due process of law.

I believe states disputes are in the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction, which can't be limited by Congress.

What if the Supreme Court did hear my case and ruled that I had to give it all up? Would you follow the decision? What ifs don't happen.

What happened to your avatar???  Huh

You have not shown me anywhere in the Constitution where abortion is a right.

The right recognized is free exerise of choice. Not specifically the choice to abort or not, but it isn't prohibited either. Thus as a choice it is covered.

Liberty = freedom = choice. So again, I guess I can put a knife in someone's back because of the 14th amendment?

Liberty freedom != anarchy freedom. You know that - as I said such extreme and silly examples are beneath someone of your intelligence. Don't act like an idiot.
