Time Magazine cover asks if the Constitution Still Matters

[John F Kennedy III]

Our Constitution isn't even all that good and we couldn't stick to it....

 

[Romulus]

The is no law... only opinions from those in power.

"Though written constitutions may be violated in moments of passion or delusion, yet they furnish a text to which those who are watchful may again rally and recall the people. They fix, too, for the people the principles of their political creed." — Thomas Jefferson

Emphasis mine.

1) This is undoubtedly a time of passion and delusion.

2) We are the watchful ones.

 

[Uncle Emanuel Watkins]

Time for a Robert's bump. As relevant a question today as it was last year...

Here is another quote for you: The greatest of benefits are derived from the most precious of alterations -- Uncle Emanuel Watkins

There is no such thing as commiting contempt against a law. See, that is just a secular Christian belief. Indeed, Jesus blessed the law. But, He blessed the same laws that resulted in the persecution of His own mother with accusations of her behaving as an adulterer. When He was finished fulfilling the prophecies though, He immediately forsook the law turning His back on the temple walking away.
So, one cannot commit contempt against a law; but, to the contrary, one can commit contempt against the people's Civil Purpose by legislating laws against their best interest.

Apparently Not

 

[Weston White]

Oh now that is just rich! So posed the publication that has posed nearly every tyrant of the last century on its cover and opined them as their man of the year.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Bump.

 

[Teenager For Ron Paul]

Lysander Spooner said "The Constitution either gives us the government we have, or is powerless to prevent it."

It is the people, not the document itself, that protect the country from tyranny.

Obviously, that hasn't worked out so well.
