Obama and the Constitution

by Vermont Woodchuck

I am an ardent supporter of the 2^nd Amendment.

The SCOTUS ruling upholding the lower courts in Heller produced satisfaction, tempered by the narrowness of the decision. All justices did agree the 2^nd Amendment is an individual right. How four voted against is not comprehensible. Nonetheless, they did and that is worrisome, when the Bill of Rights is subject to a whim.

Obama’s position on the 2^nd Amendment has one more side than a polygon. He finally settled on pro right to own a weapon according to the Bill of Rights, but states and localities can legislate all manner of rules as to where, how and who is elite enough to carry.

At first consideration, this is a typical liberal absurdity. Why have a Bill of rights?

The scales fell from my eyes and the beauty of this logic became apparent. I realized the cramped channel of my logic. I thought only inside the box.

Why restrict Obama’s reasoning to the 2^nd Amendment. Well-crafted legislation in the states and localities can produce highly desirous results in many other amendments, to wit:

1^st Amendment
Any journalist convicted of publishing, printing, broadcasting liberal tripe or causing the aforementioned shall be prohibited from being in possession of writing implements, computers microphones telephones, paper or transmitters and banned from all media contact as a prohibited person.

4^th Amendment
This now applies only to American citizens in the selected states and local areas; all others may be seized and searched. Illegal immigrants may be indentured before deported.

5^th and 6^th Amendments
Depends on who and what they did. The more heinous the crime and undesirable the miscreant gives sanction to more basic diversion.

8^th Amendment
The state and locality will determine bail and punishment, to be dependent on the person held. See 5^th and 6^th

13^th Amendment
No slavery unless the state or locality votes such laws for a specific reason.
Section 2 is void if any state or locality so chooses.

14^th Amendment
This new process makes this amendment null.

15^th Amendment
Voter registration in states and localities so choosing may ban liberals from voting under new mental incompetence laws. This avoids race, color and servitude unless changed under the amended 13^th Amendment
Section 2 is void if any state or locality so chooses.

16^th Amendment
Most states will vote to end income tax. Why send any money to support the remnants of the Constitution.

19^th Amendment
Hey, some places might have changed the 13^th, why not change this one.

24^th Amendment
States and localities may bring back poll and any other voting tax as needed. One never knows when the entities need a new revenue source. They will know whom to tax.
Section 2 is void if any state or locality so chooses.

26^th Amendment
Definitely, this is changed. If anyone isn’t smart enough to drink wisely or own a handgun, he or she isn’t smart enough to vote.
Section 2 is void if any state or locality so chooses.

27^th Amendment
Most localities if not states will write new law on this. Why pay any of these clowns in congress, they don’t do anything.
