Yet "anti-state" and "anti-war" Lew Rockwell continues to give Buchanan a regular platform on his site, with 37 articles this year. https://www.lewrockwell.com/author/patrick-j-buchanan/ http://fauxcapitalist.com/2013/12/27/10-questions-for-lew-rockwell/

Mark Dice had a fake dispute with Alex Jones in order to attract former and skeptical followers of Alex Jones in order to keep people chasing ghosts and not organizing effectively. His petitions are part of a demoralization campaign and designed to make petitions look invalid in case there ever...

I wouldn't say that the 14A said that the SCOTUS got it wrong. It changed the long-held understanding and application of the BoR. A case could be made, from the actual text itself, that it could have been incorporated against the States from its adoption, because only in the Preamble does it...

Thanks for all your comments. It seems we will agree to disagree about the constitutionality of the SC being able to actually strike down laws as unconstitutional, and that we should accept whatever the SC decides is constitutional until they decide otherwise, or by amendment. In any case, yes...

I agree with all you said in the first part, but would add that effectively declaring it unconstitutional is still a legal opinion, just like a jury's decision. Madison v. Marbury was and still is so significant because the SC claimed a power it had never claimed before, of saying it was the...

With jury nullification, the jury has the power to decide on the law and the facts, but in finding someone not guilty as a result of judging the law unjust, it doesn't rule the entire law unconstitutional or invalid, overall. In the same way, the judiciary has no such power, which is what...

Thanks for that reference. For me, the text itself is what should serve as a primary guide, and intent only as a secondary source when the plain text may not be 100% obvious. From Article III, Section 1, we have: "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court...

Thanks for those examples. I'd say that the first two cases are clearly unconstitutional. I'd say the third case is also unconstitutional, as it's still a state responsibility, but can see some arguing it's valid based on making commerce regular by prohibiting fraud leading to foreseeable harm...

Yes, re: your statement about the 18th Amendment applying to the States as well. You said "Federal laws banning interstate transportation of certain things were upheld well before the 18th Amendment". Which things did they ban? They could certainly ban the unlawful transport of military...

osan, with your mention of "bullshit", and other words, it comes across as emotionalism, so I won't bother with a logical response to anything you said.

<<A federal Bill of Rights would be used to federalize the application of the Bill of Rights, which could lead to bad decisions applying to the entire country and <<subvert the federal design of the government, with the States sovereign within their respective jurisdictions. <Not necessarily. A...

Dr. Stan is speaking from his 50-year experience of repeatedly seeing top figures in the movement and some of their closest friends being outed as government agents. For example, he spoke out against the infiltration of Ron Paul's campaign when most wanted to ignore it or pretend it didn't...
