I'm stating that we shouldn't take away the Constitutional Rights of American citizens because a random government bureaucrat says so. You seem fine with that. If that's how you'd rather be ruled, then I'm afraid that you won't be very happy here, and recommend looking into moving to China, or Cuba, or perhaps a country that will be a better fit for you.
It doesn't ****ing matter if you like it or not. It's the Constitution. You don't get to pick and choose the pieces you like, any more than you, Trump, or any of the other liberals get to decide to toss the 2nd Amendment, The 4th Amendment, the 5th Amendment, and the 6th Amendment. Conservatives understand this.

I repeat my call for forbidding anyone who cannot pass the US Citizenship exam from being allowed to vote. You can't strip Constitutional Rights by statute.
Yeah. And for that security, we are each allowed to be armed. And the government isn't allowed to say that anyone who gets put into a database can have that right stripped from them without due process. And no, passing a law is not due process for stripping people's rights. That's why we have a Judiciary.
No we shouldn't. That we are having this debate indicates that half the country (or more) doesn't give two ****s about the Constitution or individual rights and doesn't understand the issues at hand. Stupid ass debates like this where uninformed Americans are easily swayed by demagogues is precisely why we have a Constitution in the first place.
Wow, whole lot of arrogance, lotta huff, very little puff.
You have yet to prove WHICH constitutional rights of which you so, dare I say it, [modern ]liberally speak. You cannot just use the words Constitutional as a buffer for stupid irrationalizations, brother. Just saying its Constitutional doesn't make it magically so. Prove you have a point, don't use the pfffttt, shrug your shoulders and a roll of your eyes method of "argumentation", prove your DAMN point, man.
I loathe insufferables. Try to get away with saying nothing of substance but who profess to stand on 'Principle'. Nobody, leastways myself, is wanting to take away an American citizen's rights here. Your interpretation of the Constitution may be different, but at least make your fricken case.
It very much DOES matter if the amendment was not ratified in the strict manners specified in OUR CONSTITUTION, pal... or should we, based on YOUR views, just toss the Constitutional method of amending the Constitution out? So righteous about the Constitution until it no longer fits your simplistic views, eh? Wastebasket material.
Based on your own criteria for allowance of voting privileges, you would not be allowed, my friend. BTW, where is that requirement in the Constitution? Gonna be that bureaucrat passing that regulation that would not allow yoursefl to vote, are ya? What an absolute perfect and ironic hypocrisy. Now I am sure you are a lib. They trap themselves like that all the time.
YES, American citizens are allowed to be armed. Does not say anywhere in our Constitution we have to allow our enemies access to guns while they are in OUR country. If I am wrong, please specify the Article and section. Unlike you, I am willing to discuss what you've got. So far, you got nuttin. Zilch nothing but vehemence in the face of questioning of your, so far, substandard views. The government can say all sorts of things about the rights of guests in our country.
Citizens have rights, foreign nationals do not have all those same rights. Should we not be able to deport folks if they are here illegally? Can we deport them if they are a member of a terrorist group? Where is all that in the Constitution again? Every national government has the inherent authority to protect the national public interest. Foreign nationals are, or can be, a matter of vital national concern. Its the role of the federal government to oversee matters of national concern... The courts, it seems, give basic citizen rights to all, but there are various classes. Whatever process Congress sees fit to provide to excludable aliens has satisfied the Due Process Clause. We should surely be able to make the rules for outsiders, especially in times of war. Another reason that Congress should probably look at declaring war against Islamic terrorism, from wherever the source.
No discussion? Crazy talk. First amendment freedoms are paramount to a free society. Why don't you regale for us the issues at hand that, you say, at least half of us, apparently, do not understand? The arrogance of such words are simply elitist [lib think], certainly we should be discussing all this in a society beset by threats from hard to identify sources that have vowed our future demise, dead set upon inflicting harm upon us.
