With a name like Abdallah Fayyad, it is safe to assume that his family moved here from a Middle Eastern country precisely because of the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution but now having enjoyed the fruits of a society based on those principles he now sees fit to sit in judgment of those same principles. Ingratitude is one of the ugliest human expressions.

Or came here to be a sleeper cell, instead of a lover of our freedoms.

YIKES!

Well, that's interesting.

Kinda hard to tell if she's being sarcastic, telling a joke or is really serious.

It's ALMOST good enough for the Babylon Bee, except she might actually be serious.

We, The People, think Ms. Franks needs more mustard.

It would seem they're trying to negate the fact that the constitution is actually restricting the government, not the people. It's the old game of "Change the language, change the meaning" which is why they're so insistent that it's a "living" document. This is why we have the requirement of Constitutional conventions.

If you want to change the Constitution, then do so, but do so in a manner that is Constitutional.

Like maybe a Constitutional amendment.

Marriage isn't in the Constitutional but somehow same sex marriage is a Constitutional right, same for abortion.

Until the Constitution is amended to include "marriage" and "abortion" they cannot be a Constitutional "Right" regardless of what ever SCOTUS rules.

If anything, 2A should be slightly altered to make it PERFECTLY CLEAR to numnudz that it refers to the common citizen, using current weaponry.

Yeah, the government takes such good care of us! So what’s her point? Get in a life-threatening situation, and the Protective Fairies sudden appear and whisk the perp off to No-no Land?

Put it in the hands of the people? This is why we are a Republic and not a Democracy. If we were a democracy this place would suck based on the historical political "fads" that have run through this country over the decades. We would not be the country we are if we were. Don't get me wrong there is room for improvement, but I see that space in the Congress (State and Federal)
