THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES: THE FOURTH AMENDMENT

Image
This article is part of a continuing series on the Constitution of the United States and the 27 Amendments, which are part of the Constitution. Each will be addressed in a separate post as time permits, and each reader is urged to read each for themselves, so as to be familiar with the text and the meaning of each Amendment. AMENDMENT IV: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. A note for readers: Most of my Constitution and Amendment posts have been utter duds with little commentary, perhaps that is why I neglected to make another post for over a month. That plainly said, it is my opinion that this current "crisis", i.e., the unprecedented Constitutional rights violations by va...

America has changed for the WORSE... we are in DEEP TROUBLE

Image
It has only taken a few weeks, but it HAS HAPPENED.  Politicians and bureaucrats are now exposed as the cunning, POWER MAD, amoral manipulators that they TRULY ARE, and they are determined to enslave the American people AT ANY COST. We are ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN without any protest. Ordering the select closing of businesses by State authorities and "shelter at home" orders are blatantly UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The PEOPLE of this nation are the SOVEREIGNS, not elected politicians and bureaucrats. The governments of various states DO NOT HAVE any right to tell anyone what to do or where to stay, as such EDICTS are a violation of the First Amendment's right to freedom of assembly/association. The States are also blatantly discriminating against certain businesses, but not others, which violates the Fourteenth Amendment (Equal protection of the laws). For those who state that the Bill of Rights do not apply to individual States and their governments - the vast majority of th...

AMENDMENT II: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. I will endeavor to keep putting up various posts and movies, but I have some very pressing issues that I must address for the time being. Analysis and commentary are welcomed.

SUPREME COURT DECLINES TO HEAR MICHELLE CARTER APPEAL IN TEXTING SUICIDE CASE

Image
This is an example of the Supreme Court declining to hear a very important First Amendment case, and will lead to yet another "slippery slope" wave of legislation, if the United States actually survives. The case involves a woman named Michelle Carter who advised her boyfriend, Conrad Roy, III, to kill himself via carbon monoxide poisoning. She was not in the immediate area, and was not in any way physically involved in the demise of Conrad Roy, III. She simply texted him, advising him to kill himself. Yes, she told him to kill himself. That is all. In no way did she MAKE him kill himself, and she was miles from him at the time. Carter was tried and convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to fifteen month's imprisonment. HOW? Apparently, by a criminal justice system determined to make people guilty of the crime of "speaking or writing the wrong words". Sure, Michelle Carter is a weird-looking, disgusting example of a human being, bu...

WHAT IS YOUR STANCE ON FREE SPEECH?

Image
Greetings to all from everyone's favorite vampire! I figured I'd try my hand on an article that is not quite political but definitely generates controversy, the concept of the "unalienable right" to free speech.  Currently, free speech is coming under fire from many on the far left. They wish to silence those they disagree with by labeling their remarks as "hate speech", and demand that "offensive" remarks be censored. They are even floating the idea that those who utter opinions they dislike should be arrested, as in the city of New York with regard to the utterance of the phrase "illegal alien". That stated, I do not at all think that our rights are "unalienable" or come from some god, as our rights can easily be curtailed by our fellow man by employing martial law. Martial law is a glaring proof that our rights vanish like a fart in the wind if circumstances become unfavorable for whatever reason, or if some despot gets...
