Yes.

And it's ironically expected to fail. The complete handgun ban that is. Not the restrictions for owning firearms such as a background check.

Oye, Memorize!

I hadn't understood what you were trying to say in response to my post. Could you explain a little bit?

Sorry.

Sorry.

If the founding fathers did what we would consider Unconstitutional based upon soley the Constitution, then we can not, today, deem it 'unconstitutional'.

For example: Right to Bare Arms.

We then can not then say that simply owning a handgun is Unconstitutional.

Or that in our Constitution, we give everyone due process of law. But since the very people who wrote that did not apply it to enemy combatants at war during their time, our courts today can not declare it "Unconstitutional" by the Constitution that the Founding Fathers wrote, unless we created a new law ratified by at least 3/4 of the states.

I'm sure the Geneva Conventions have something to say about it.

And don't give me this shit that they are "unlawful combatants"; we are supposedly fighting a WAR on Terrorism. So, by extension, that makes them soldiers like anyone else. We can't have it both ways.

Except that it's rendered useless in our current situation as our enemy violates every rule and law regarding warfare by the convention.

They actively fight in civilian zones.
They specifically target civilians.
They do not wear a uniform.
They torture prisoners; both soldier and civilian.

And don't give me this shit that they are "unlawful combatants"; we are supposedly fighting a WAR on Terrorism. So, by extension, that makes them soldiers like anyone else. We can't have it both ways.

War on Terrorism is simply a fancy name given by politicians.

Courts have no authority over the internal workings of a family. How can a court rule that something that was not against the law is wrong? This just makes no sense.

frankly i think this is a good thing. i think children have been starved of rights for too long. hopefully this will be the first in a movement for child rights. and im well aware that children have some rights, but not some of the more important ones. like, say, FREEDOM OF ****ING SPEECH!, freedom of opinion, right to safety, parents and teachers can do just about anything short of murder or torture. and they dont even have to have a reason. a parent can come home pissed and just start punishing their kid left and right for no reason. in adult society, the government cant just take you off the street randomly and throw you in jail. also, in court, there is a witness protection program. if a child is being abused about 80% of the time they dont say anything because they know if their parents find out theres nothing stoping them from beating/killing them. </rant>

there are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't

You can not declare something unconstitutional when the Founding Fathers who created the Constitution did not, themselves, find it "unconstitutional".

What about slavery?

Haha, conservatives are great. So you're going to make the argument that since the founding fathers did it, that slavery should be constitutional? Because that's the argument Memorize is making with Habeas Corpus.

Hola, I'm back from a vacation in beautiful Orlando, where I had no ability or desire to gain access to an internet connection. However now that I'm back I think the best think to do is point out what's wrong with your argument.

You see, we're not arguing over over the constitutional ammendment process, we're arguing over whether or not everything the founding father did should be considered constitutional. So everything you said in the above post is pretty much irrelevant, and my point still stands.

I'll ask again: are you going to make the argument that since the founding fathers were slave owners, that slavery should be constitutional? Are you going to make the argument that the 13th ammendment never should have existed?

This is so fucking painful.
Do you understand that AT THE TIME it was constitutional? Like every other official action they did?
Which means in the 1860's before the 13th 14th and 15th were ratified, any court declaring it unconstitutional would be completely out of line and WRONG. And since we there has yet to be an amendment regarding this...
You know what? Fuck it, if you really need me to explain anymore then you are clearly being inentionally retarded and we're done.
