| thetonestarr said: Do you have any clue what this "horrifying bit of text" even reads?" It's saying that the courts cannot make rulings for OR AGAINST religion, sex, or marriage. It's providing the people rights, not taking them away. Besides the fact that it clearly reads that if you understand legal speak, Ron Paul has repeatedly time and time again explained that's exactly what he's trying to do. |
Who do you think upholds the Constitution? You got it, the Supreme and Federal Courts. Paul wants to hamstring their ability to rule on the First fucking Amendment. I'm pretty sure I'm not the one having difficulty understanding that text.
What is the point of the Supreme Court if they cannot make rulings based on the document that gave them the power to make said rulings in the first place?
Anyway, almost every single line of this act is unconstitutional. I guess that should count for something if Paul is trying to break the record of "highest percentage of bill that is ruled unconstitutional". Ron Paul is either an idiot for not understanding that his bill is unconstitutional or has such a complete lack of respect for the Constitution that he doesn't care.
Either way, that's not a guy you want in office under the guidelines of said Constitution.
I find the lack of understanding of basic United States law in this thread to be more than a little disturbing. I mean, this is eighth grade shit we're covering, everyone.
