Playing a game of 'What if?' with U.S. military might
As a member of the board of the WNCACLU, I can attest, you are truly wrong. They gain nothing monetarily whatsoever, other than court costs. They only protect those Principles OUR Founders thought were most precious. (Monday Sep 1 | post #50)

I am sorry I don't have time to continue, but if you care to research the actual parameters Congress gave bushishito, you will see that invading Iraq was not one of them. Only the power neccessary to determine what course of action needed to be taken. No declaration of War. Yes by the agreement signed as the result of the excess of power used in Nam, bush is required to report to Congress every so often. Along with other requirements not met. Such as following the several Geneva conventions or OUR own Bill of Rights/Constitutio n. Bye for now. (Monday Sep 1 | post #49)

As OUR Supreme Court has determimed numerous times, OUR Founders pourpously said "persons " in the Bill of Rights. They also declared "all men" in several declarations such as: The Virginia Declaration of Rights ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ -------- After the Committee of Style finished with the final draft of the Constitution at the Constitutional Convention, George Mason stood up and noted that the new Constitution contained no declaration of the rights of the people, a glaring error in his view. Elbridge Gerry seconded Mason's motion to convene a committee to draft a declaration of rights. But no state voted to convene the committee, and in protest, Gerry and Mason refused to sign the Constitution. Mason, along with James Madison, had had a heavy hand in the writing of the Virginia Declaration of Rights. The Declaration was passed in a convention of delegates on June 12, 1776. This Declaration later became a model for the Bill of Rights Madison wrote as the first twelve proposed amendments to the new United States Constitution. ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ -------- A DECLARATION OF RIGHTS made by the representatives of the good people of Virginia, assembled in full and free convention which rights do pertain to them and their posterity, as the basis and foundation of government. Section 1. That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety. The UN Universal Declaration of Rights was derived from the above & other Founding Principles. As it was signed by Congress, it is OUR responsability to honor it. (Monday Sep 1 | post #47)

Nonsense! It is OUR govt's responsability to equally protect the "free exercise of religion according to the dictates of conscience". Abortion was legal until 1885 app. (Monday Sep 1 | post #167)

Congress never gave bushishito a declaration of War. Been thru this too many times with G-HoGG. 911 was a crime. The perpetratrors have not been caught. Iraq was wrongfully invaded & its inocent citizens killed. (Monday Sep 1 | post #43)

Sarah Palin has by her own words shown herself to be a biggot & anti-American. Abortion was established by OUR Founders to be a personal & private choice. To oppose privacy is to oppose America. (Monday Sep 1 | post #158)

Too bad for all those innocent victoms of OUR generous giving of bombs and bullets. I guess they were too dead to celebrate OUR "liberating " them. (Monday Sep 1 | post #25)
Obama too pro-choice to receive vote for president
In this Republic of inalienable rights, all it takes is ine person to stand up to the oppression of the majority. If you care to, read Roe vs Wade. It is very informative. Hope you & yours are well. (Monday Sep 1 | post #293)
