We have an amendment process. Look not following the amendment process is what has led to the bloat we have in government today. The government shouldn't be able to simply legislate away our rights, or legislate on issues that aren't in their purview. Why do we have a deficit? The federal government legislating spending on unconstitutional programs and departments. Why do we have FISA and domestic spying programs, because the government either legislated around, or simply ignored the constitution.
The U.S. Constitution is supposed to be the highest law in the land. It has a built in method for changing it as the times and needs of the nation require. You just happen to know that no amendment changing the 2nd would pass. Gruss Gott wrote: >> tBone wrote: >> You're wrong man.
