Both parties, both sides of the normal ideological aisle, and most Americans ignore the Constitution as is convenient at any particular moment. To say either the libs or cons are alone in their war against it is pure partisan ignorance. There are more examples than can be counted of this very thing, and many of them codified into law and upheld by the SCOTUS. Seriously, the ink on that document wasn't dry before all three branches of government began fighting against its limitations. Marbury v Madison began weakening the Constitution less than 12 years after it was fully ratified.
So seriously, stop it with "conservatives this" or "liberals that" where trashing the US Constitution is concerned. Neither party has ever given a damn about that document unless they could use it's wording to bludgeon the other party.
Didn't Eric Holder just tell Attorney Generals of States, NOT to fulfill their constitutional duty of enforcing laws passed by their State's Legislatures?
If Libs are friends of the Constitution, then why aren't they condemning Holder for such a blatant violation of our Constitutional principles?
All you have to do is discredit those links....and that does not include saying....Oh look "fox."
As a matter of fact, yes. When it comes from a news source, that claims that global warming is a hoax, despite the fact that almost every scientist in the world disagrees with that contention. I will discredit Fox News links, and laugh at you for falling for them.

I'm no Republican, but I've been accused of being Conservative before, despite my Liberals beliefs. Despite sharing our disgust of the GOP hypocrisy, I don't envision R's embracing this infringement & think you've become no better than they are with this dogsh*t, sick way of rationalizing your quasi-facist views on the 2nd Amendment.
In this case the Police directly asked this guy's permission to enter his home without a warrant while he was in jail. He said "No". Should have been end of story. Then the police go back to his house, knock on the door and convince the spouse to say "yes"? That's not my idea of what should be legal in the United States of America. It just further infringes on our rights incrementally at a time when we need to guard against all infringements. It also opens the door to police simply arresting the person who refuses more strongly and then coercing the weaker voice. If the case is so strong, get a warrant like we've done forever. Easy.
Agreed. If I refuse to consent the police should not then go allowed to go behind my back and ask the wife. Not sure what all the particulars were to this case.
Many of them came HERE so they could practice THEIR religion AS THEY wished, which in most cases was some form of Christianity.
No you are wrong. Keep trying but you can't rewrite history. Nothing about Christianity was ever mentioned by any of the founding fathers, except to say that the United States Government was in no way affiliated with Christianity.
Article 11. of Treaty of Tripoli Authored by Joel Barlow in 1796, and unanimously approved by the Senate on June 7, 1797. Unanimously means 100% agreed with it.
As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
Case closed.

Starting with when he was first appointed, and ending with this idiotic ruling.
