Why the U.S Constitution sucks balls

[heatherrae]

I guess you missed the Supremacy clause. Look it up.

Good God, what is this country coming to? Seriously, not to be a bitch, but do they even have kids read in school these days?

Lucky you cause in Canada the Constitution has a provision called the "notwithstanding clause" which allows the federal and provincial governements to suspend any right/liberty with just miserable bill. Imagine what GWB would do if he had somethign similar ? lol

Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus and FDR imprisoned thousands of American citizens for the entire war based solely on their ethnicity.

it's all about who said what on myspace. and how to look hip.

kids don't give a shit about what's being taught. the alarming rise in levels of teenage pregnancies and dropouts is evident of this.

oh well. Hope they're okay with having Mr. Chen and Mr. Lopez as their boss.

I've been out of school for over 15 years and being that the constitution or politics isn't something I worry about in my day to day goings on, I don;t retain the info I learned about it from that long ago, and I bet there is plenty of shit you don't remember that was taught to you 10 years ago either because you dont utilize the info daily to keep it fresh in your mind. It's unrealistic that anyone know politics and the laws of the country inside and out. What does it matter to the common person's daily life? Even if you knew that right then and there you were in an unconstitutional position and your rights were being violated, do you really think that stating off proof of this violation from memory is going to stop it from happening? It'll run its course and you'll have to fight it in a court anyways. And that is why we have lawyers. How many times have you heard of someone telling a cop they are wrong at the very time they are doing somthing wrong and the cop saying "gee youre right, I'm sorry, here's 6 grand out of my pocket for your troubles"?

Also, explain why Philadelphia has a law causing you to register and pay for a protest that directly infringes upon your right to "FREE" speech and peacable assembly? if I want to protest somethign RIGHT NOW in Philly, i can't cause I need to register and pay for it. It seems that Supremacy clause thingamajigger didn't do shit.

Do you two need to borrow my Chemerinsky?
The Supremacy Clause doesnt make the Bill of Rights applicable to the states.
The 14th Amemdment did.
Did you guys not spend weeks going over selective incorporation in your 1L con law class?

Remember this pre 14th Amendment case?

Lincoln also said he would save the union with slavery or without it.
