What is it about the U.S. Constitution that makes the Republicans so visceral? Now they want to do away with the 14th amendment, and democratically override the 1st, and the 14th to outlawed gay marriage.
How can Proposition 8 in California be found unconstitutional if it is part of California's constitution? Isn't this is state's rights thing? What part of the U.S. Constitution gives this federal jurisdiction? Also, am I right to assume that civil unions were not allowed in California prior to the passing of the Prop. 8? If we can redfine the word marriage as between two women or two men, then, why can't it be defined as between as person and a non-human mammal? Isn't it because even the courts follow a basic natural law? Also, do the courts we really have the right to define words? Thought many dictionaries have as their 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. definitions to include "two people" and not just a man and a woman, it used to be just that. What's wrong with marriage being for heterosexuals and civil unions for homosexuals, as long as they have the same rights? And no, this is not a separate but equal thing...no one is being separated...just the opposite actually Joe Finkle: Thank you for your answer. But, how is this a 14th Amendment issue? The California voters declared that gay marriage isn't a right, and because it was put up for a vote, due process was given. Also, regarding the "stigma" of civil unions. Who generates the stigma, and how can it BE a stigma if a civil union grants and affords the same rights and protections as a marriage does?

How Do We begin the process of Changing the U.S. Constitution to allow a California style recall election? According to an answer to my last question, the U.S. federal Constitution has no provision to begin a recall election such as what happened in California. What's the basic steps? Do we circulate petitions? Do we call our representatives to introduce such a bill? This poster said it could take over ten years, but if Congress can give away almost a trillion dollars in legislation passed in around a week's time, I don't buy that.

How is OBAMA allowed to ignore the 10th Ammendment of the U.S. Constitution? "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Consequently Obama, mandating Federal health care is illegal according to the U.S. Constitution. The people of the respective states did not allow it, nor did the individual states. The states didn't bring it to the citizens to vote on in order for the representatives to take it to congress in representation of the respective states citizens. So how is Obama able to get away with obfuscating the U.S. Constitution? Verdeflav: Yes, Obama Introduced it, his legal advisors did nothing to point out his error, congress was flat out coerced and bullied into taking his pet project and honing it into something politician (not the people), could accept and then he signed off on it...again knowing it's against the 10th Ammendment. So you tell us, how is Obama not to be held responsible? Terrance, When the federal government asserts itself upon the state, arbitrary to the people the right of the state has been upsurped in contrast to the Constitution. The executive branch is obligated to uphold the states reserved rights. What OBAMA is doing is an end run around the establishment of the republic comprised of individual states. By his declaration of taxing the individual in lieu of mandate, federally, is in violation. It is the individual states responsibility to decide if it wants to impose a measure (mandatory health care), upon the people. Not the federal government collectively. Remember, rights aren't purchased, but inherently given. The United states is just that. Comprised of the many. it's not one big "collective" state, as Obama would prefer it be.

Is U S Aid to Israel a violation of the U S Constitution's separation of church and state?

Should Christian beliefs be put above the U.S. Constitution? For those of you that said yes should be put to death for treason. To those that believe this country was founded on Christian beliefs, whoever told you that should also be punched in the nose for telling lies? The constitution could guarantee freedom for all men and women but religion cannot. The constitution acknowledges man’s inalienable rights to choose for him self but religion put Gods rights above all men. Since God is a silent force that cannot defend his own words by default his words become null and void over the Constitution or in life itself.

What's the difference between the Constitution Party and the Republican party? I'm having trouble identifying myself as a mainstream Republican, both because of how liberal the party has become and how professional the entire political scene has become; it was never the Founding Fathers' vision to have senators in place for 30 years. In the US, politics was never intended to be a profession... it was a temporary sacrifice of personal life to help govern the nation with your experience and education. But I digress. I've been reading up on the Constitution Party and it seems quite appealing to me. However, what I gather is that it's rather isolationist, such as no UN or other significant global presence, and against the wars in the Middle East. I think a global view is very important for the US as we move farther into the 3rd millennium, and although it may have been a mistake to go into Iraq and Afghanistan, since we're there we need to accomplish what we set out for. What are the real differences between the Constitution Party and the Republican party? I've heard the word Libertarian thrown around as well. What, besides Wikipedia (already bookmarked these entries, lol), should I be reading to understand the basis of these political parties? I guess I could call myself Anti-isolationist Constitutional, haha.

It is legal to give a cop the finger in the U.S. and is protected by Free Speech....? Giving a cop the middle finger is protected under the constitution by the freedom of speech and has been up held countless times. Considering it is completely legal... Would you still arrest someone for flipping you off? I guess the below answers prove why cops EARN the lack of respect and negative opinon from citizens. To find an excuse to arrest of detain someone for exercising their FREEDOM is an ABUSE of power. You all deserve the disrespect and lack of appreciation you recieve. Where have I stated >>>I<<<< was planning on flipping of an officer? Idiots, reading comprehension is necessary for answering questions.

What's so hard about just reading the Constitution? It's only a few dozen pages and written at a 5th grade reading level. So why are so many adults so ignorant of it? and if you don't believe in some of it, why don't you just admit it? It will never be changed if people just go on saying they believe in part of it but then support legislation that goes against it. vollybab... maybe you should take the 2nd amendment in context like the others. There wouldnt have been a military if individuals didnt have guns, the same is still true. I served in the army and most guys who werent raised with guns cant shoot. Your husband is an example of why we have a supreme court instead of leaving interpreting the constitution upto average people but the problem is they're just as bad when then they should know better.

My sister-in-law is in a State's National Guard, she is NOT in the Reserves, and she is to be deployed to Afghanistan next month.
Regarding liberals, do you agree that it's not that the Constitution is "outdated", but rather...? I was just thinking about how liberals can never cite anything written in the Constitution and articulate exactly how it is no longer relevant. Their notion that it is "outdated" is never explained any further than those words. Could this be because they want to suck off of government teet? That the Constitution doesn't allow for "free stuff"? Chuck N, which issue do you want to have a rational debate about? I'm game. The Zeitgeist, the 13th and 14th amendments kind of nullify that clause
Is secession becoming a real issue in U.S. Politics? Over the past week, I attempted to answer 6 questions regarding secession. All 6 had been deleted. I asked if it was being censored from yahoo, and my question was deleted (Reinstated on Appeal). In the course of my experience with human events, monitoring, even the internet, for keywords and censorship usually is an indication that an issue is becoming a major concern to Government (Acorn monitoring?) I have read that 6 States had raised the issue. In addition, I have heard from people in Texas that it was a hot issue, as Texas expressly put in their treaty joining the U.S. a right to secede. Is it becoming a real issue? Who would it serve more, the preservation of the United States, it's Constitution, and it's freedoms, or those who wish to dissolve the U.S. to usher in a global government? To Obama . . . It is not the privately owned cite censoring, it is members, probably joining after a hit on key word searches.
Do you believe the right to privacy is implied in the Constitution of the U.S? I expect a wide array of diverse answers on this one.

I would simply ask that we keep our answers civil, whether you're liberal or conservative. And if you would, please give an explanation as to why you believe the right to privacy is implied or not. And if you believe it's not implied but is literally stated within the Consitution, please give your reason/s for believing thus. Thank you.
Should we have a legally enforceable claim against other people's resources? If you say "no", then why should there be entitlement programs for welfare, health care or any other thing that allows some Americans to take money from other Americans in the form of tax payer funded programs?

Does the U.S. constitution give the federal government authority to MONOPOLIZE the making of money/currency? As far as I know, the federal government is given the power to make money as per the constitution. But does that imply the federal government is given the power, as per the constitution, to monopolize money and for them to be the sole issuer of money and to forbid currency competition? But doesn't that only concern the value of the money they print? Section 10? But that's regarding states and I don't think it works very well as an answer to my question.

Do you live in a country/society in which there's institutionalized religious oppression? In the US (where I live) there is certainly social pressure imposed by (in particular) Christians. However, our national Constitution and other laws provide some protections against governmental institutionalization of one particular faith, or the elevation of one faith over another through laws or institutions. I know not all countries or societies are like this, and some have strong governmental institutions that establish a 'national' religion (even if not strictly a theocracy). Do you live in one of these societies? If so, which - and can you briefly explain what it's like?

What do you think of Scalia's interpretation of the Constitution? TUCSON, Ariz. – U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says those who want modern-day legal interpretations to view the U.S. Constitution through contemporary lenses are seeking rigidity, not flexibility, in the country's justice system. Scalia is well-known as a strict constructionist in his interpretation of the Constitution. He told a Tucson audience Monday that the rival approach favors sweeping judicial decrees to shape society "coast to coast" on issues such as abortion, rather than seeking to pass laws state by state. Scalia appeared with fellow Justice Stephen Breyer to discuss how courts should apply the Constitution. Breyer says interpretations should consider current circumstances because society has different values than it did in the 18th century on matters such as cruel and unusual punishment. Justice Scalia: Rival doctrine seeks rigidity http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091026/ap_on_re_us/us_justices_arizona . What about states rights? .

Does the U.S. need stricter gun control? There is nothing wrong with some restrictions, such as a waiting period, one gun a month, etc. And why does ANYONE need an assault rifle? Gun-control critics whine about their 2nd amendment rights, but would like us to forget the REST of the Constitution, the parts that guarantee "a more perfect union, domestic tranquility, general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves". In the U.S., many people do not feel safe leaving their houses; there is a LACK of tranquility and general welfare in many areas, due to gun violence. Mass gun killings like Columbine, Colorado, Virginia Tech, Binghamton, NY, Pennsylvania Amish School, etc., etc., etc., are extrememly rare in other civilized countries that have strict gun control regulations. If you agree that stricter gun-control measures are needed to make the U.S. a BETTER country, ignore the NRA and neoconservatives, who only care about themselves, and write your elected officials, and tell them what you think. neocons - feel free to write back, but I am not addressing youse guys 8-)

In theory, if those commas exist, the government would have a bit more legal room to confiscate private property."

Why are Republicans unaware of the fact that sometimes it IS a judge's job to interpret what the law means? 1.

It has already happened in VT, ME, NH and it is expected to happen in NY & NJ in the near-future. The legislature is elected by the people and this is after all a Republic. Any objections?
