They don't abolish amendments they just re-define what the amendment says, what the Founding Fathers explained them to be and the liberal courts back them up.
The RIGHT of the PEOPLE to KEEP and BEAR arms shall NOT be INFRINGED" yet, we have over 20,000 laws that do just that.
"Freedom of SPEECH" is now "freedom of EXPRESSION", is now any way you want it to be, etc.
How many fed agencies do we have now that are NOT defined as a fed responsibility in the Constitution?
Dept of Education for one. Where does it say ANYWHERE the fed is responsible for public education?
Freedom of speech except for anything the left disagrees with.
Fear mongering just a bit? Yeah, we on the left hate our country and can't wait to turn it into some banana republic, complete with dictator. Oh, wait! That would be your guy who never saw a constitution he couldn't circumvent and can't wait for the courts to overthrow Roe v Wade, so that women will lose their rights over their own bodies and become little more than baby making machines.
As for the right's love affair with the second amendment, I'm cool with that as long as you guys use your semi-automatics on one another instead of this on-going slaughter of the innocent.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go polish my horns and tuck in my forked tail.
"Oh, wait! That would be your guy who never saw a constitution he couldn't circumvent and can't wait for the courts to overthrow"
We are NOT talking about OBAMA! he was OVERTURNED MORE then any other president.
Always funny to watch how libs NEVER take responsibility their OWN actions!
In addition, the Trump administration has been appointing conservative, pro-corporate, federal judges with lifetime appointments with the speed of light.
It is far too late to take back our democracy.
"In addition, the Trump administration has been appointing conservative, pro-corporate, federal judges with lifetime appointments with the speed of light."
Your just mad because he is REPLACING all the LIBERAL judges the dem presidents appointed!
"You mean like Freeways, Public Schools and Public Libraries?"
I know it is hard to stay on topic but we ARE talking about the FED, NOT states.
All you cite are STATE responsibility and NOT the fed. Or maybe you don't know the difference!
Most highway funding comes from the federal gas tax, not from state sources. Public libraries are not state responsibilities, they are (mostly) funded and managed by county or city governments.
Please do tell what freedoms you have lost. How has your life changed? Has your individuality been taken away, or your opinions? If that's the case, why are you even allowed to post on here?
Ya'll are all so funny.
"Ya'll are all so funny" Better to be FUNNY then ignorant!
"Please do tell what freedoms you have lost" I LOST my FREEDOM to NOT drive my car WITHOUT wearing a seat belt or I will be fined.
I LOST my freedom to NOT "participate" in a FORCED retirement plan I do NOT like, Social Security.
I LOST my freedom of serving in MY business whom I CHOOSE.
I lost my FREEDOM to NOT wear a helmet if I CHOOSE.
I lost my FREEDOM to buy a gun WITHOUT jumping through a lot of hoops.
I LOST my freedom to "BEAR" arms without a permit and PAYING for that right.
I LOST my FREEDOM to build on my property what I want WITHOUT getting a "permit", and ONLY what they say I can and "meets" their requirements.
Etc., etc., etc., The list is VERY LONG.
