| akuma587 said: Last time I checked, the Constitution says "person" in all these applicable provisions in the Bill of Rights. It doesn't say "citizen." But its already pretty much been established that you have no problem disregarding the Constitution, so I am not surprised. And how about you actually get out some constitutional provisions or cite to some case law before you make statements like that. You aren't the Supreme Court. |

It's funny that in the original text of the constitution, it refers to "We the People of the United States", with People capitized as if a proper noun. Every occurance of the word "Person" is also capitized as a proper noun, implying that it refers to the proper noun People, referring to People of the United States.
In the bill of rights, "person" is not capitialized oddly enough.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
