Is it time to drop the principles set forth by the Constitution?

Our rights as human beings on this planet are inalienable...no dictator can change that

Lets be clear, the 2nd amendment was written to protect us from any form of government that tries to take those inalienable rights away...it was NOT written for the sake of deer hunting or a foreign invasion.

Anybody who says the Constitution is an outdated document does not understand that history is full of tyrant governments, fiat currencies, and war. These are not new issues of our time...These issues have existed for as long as humans have discovered what control combined with money can actually achieve. World domination is a timeless concept.

And if Obama is such a "Consitutional Scholar" than why hasnt he reversed ANY of Bush's unconstitutional legislation and executive orders? The Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, John Warner Act, NSPD 51, HSPD20 etc... should of been nullified on Day 1....and we are still waiting for those topics to even be mentioned.

Federal Emergency Mismanagement Agency, communist welfare state programs, Department of Education, EPA, OSHA, CAFE "standards" are all unconstitutional invasions of our lives prohibited by the Tenth Amendment in that they are not permitted by any other part of the Constitution. Annual pay increases for members of Congress are prohibited by the 27th Amendment. The Executive has no authority to fire the head of a non-government company. Nothing in the Constitution allows for the use of "Executive Orders" to bypass Congress and the proper way to enact laws. The decision in the case of the homeowners in Connecticut violated the 4th and 5th Amendments.

I agree totally, my friend. It never ceases to amaze me that the people who get downright weepy about protecting the most outrageous interpretation of every last comma and jot found in the First and Fourth Amendments are the same ones who seem to believe the Founding Fathers were simply kidding when they wrote the Second and Tenth.

Far too many people have completely forgotten that federalism is the foundation of this nation.

It's time to return to the constitution. During the whole election season, I always said we needed to get back to the basics and live the constitution. The answer I always got was "the constitution won't work in modern society." It's sad nobody wants to protect the one thing that keeps us free today.

I believe that our Founding Fathers would turn over in their graves if they knew how our Constitution had & is still being abused.

I for one, am truly tired of the slick willie type lawyers & judges looking for loop holes & thinking everything is "Open to interpretation"'

Our Founding Fathers said what they meant & meant what they said, they didn't talk out of both sides of their mouths.

But then that was when integrity actually meant something & the people voices were listened to not dictated to.

Bush already did all he could to dismantle the Constitution. Now we have a Constitutional scholar and educator as president, and we'll go back to being a nation under law. The thing that gets me about conservatives is that they always talk about the role of government being limited to defense, and forget about the language of promoting the common welfare. Our founders saw the role of government as much more than defending the borders and promoting corporate profits.

The Constitution and socialism are not mutually exclusive.

If you're going to talk about how important Constitutional principles are, you might wish to familiarize yourself with what is and what is not in there.

No its time to take a stand against that nonsense. Liberals have no respect for the Constitution or our Founders

The Constitution will never die!

No, the Constitution should stand.
