warpedskydiver 0 #26 February 14, 2007 Then how was slavery repealed after the right of slave ownership was unchanged by our constitution? Lincoln read the Declaration over and over until he determined that slavery was against the constitution via the DOI. I know it seemed to be a stretch but I didn't see slavery returning after that. But yeah I see where you are coming from and we agree. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,146 #27 February 14, 2007 QuoteSimply put our Constitution is derived from preceding documents and one that is included in that is the Declaration of Independance. Ask Abraham Lincoln. The Supreme Court makes those decisions, not Abraham Lincoln.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warpedskydiver 0 #30 February 14, 2007 BTW if you voted that this is a Good Idea maybe you would rather live in a country where they are not afforded the rights contained within the US Constitution. It always amazes me that people are so willing to give up their rights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 0 #31 February 15, 2007 QuoteIt always amazes me that people are so willing to give up their rights. They're not giving up their rights, they are giving up someone else's rights. If this law affected right they careed about, I'm sure they would be up in arms (figuratively speaking, since they don't give a damn about guns). What people fail to realize is that if we make it easy to take any rights, even ones we don't like, then it is that much easier to go after the next right, and the next one, until they start taking ones you do care about. But by then, there is no one to stand with you to stop it.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
