    Interesting read... Thanks for posting byte. I wish everyone were a constitutional scholar... And by that I mean I wish everyone would read the friggin constitution.

    I would beg to differ. Watched this movie last night.
    Even though the govt of Mexico has done everything to purge these events from the history books, it did happen.
    Men and women of principle stood and fought. History has countless examples where the yoke of tyranny has been
    cast off by people who said, "Enough is enough".

    Look what happened with Obamacare. The penalty to not buy health insurance was not constitutional so they changed the word penalty to tax and it became legal. The same thing could happen here. Change a few words around and make it vague enough that it somehow becomes legal for them to make me do something that is clearly unconstitutional and outside the bounds of what the feds can do to you.

    Absolutely true. This begs the question: What recourse do the People have when even the SCOTUS has upheld as constitutional legislation which contradicts the BoR? e.g. the Patriot Act is a blatant infringement of the Fourth Amendment, NDAA contains language which attempts to void the Sixth Amendment. . . you get the idea. What say you, Byte?
