How much longer will it be before the Bill of Rights and the Constitution are no longer valid?

Question

and I don't mean...just some of it is invalid...I mean all of it.

People give away their rights in the name of "security". All the government has to say is that "You will be safer" and people roll over.

So, how mych longer before both of them are meaningless??

Thanks for all the links...I will have to check them out!!

Answer 1

They already are meaningless.
There are countless laws that have been passed, and other actions that the government has taken that are not constitutional.

For example: the seperation of powers, as laid out in the constitution gives Congress the power to pass laws, with the President having Veto power. However, recently, Supreme Court decisions have been given the power of law, this is blatantly unconstitutional.

Congress has passed laws (McCain Feingold act) preventing citizens from buying TV adds within 30 days of an election. A blatant violation of the 1st amendment right to free speech.

The 1st Amendment clearly states that "Congress" can not abridge free speech. However, the courts have used that as an excuse to destroy dress codes in schools. A dress code is not a law passed by Congress and therefore the courts can have no say in the matter. Another blatant abuse of power the constitution should protect us from.

I could give you countless examples of how the constitution is completely ignored, as long as the result is that the government gets more power.

Answer 2

Cincy, ...........

Even if I were to assume, for the sake of argument, that the Patriot Act and some of what the Bush administration is doing are violations of certain constitutional guarantees (and I don't know whether or not they are), your implicit argument that the entire Constitution will have become meaningless as a result of those violations is like a very, very bad case of Chicken-Little-itis. Sheesh! Such an overreaction!

Please learn to talk realistically, so that people will find you believable! Doing so is for your own good, so that you might be more persuasive. Because if you keep this up, you'll end up in the same position as the boy who cried "wolf."

Answer 3

mixed with Presidential coverage Directives i might say sure. it is totally trouble-free for the government to declare a state of emergency. we are presently working under greater beneficial than 20 states of emergency right this moment. Congressional members of the two events have many times stated this subject and concluded that if martial regulation have been declared the President may well be greater to a place above the two Congress and the judiciary; incredibly to a dictatorial place. countless tries have been made with the aid of Congress to work out the contingent government continence plan that would desire to take result contained regarding martial regulation. They have been denied as a results of secure practices concerns. every time a sparkling President takes place of work, the administrative Orders are reinstated. In result, each govt Order for the reason that President Kennedy has been many times renewed. FEMA did not exist until President Carter, besides the shown fact that, lots of the companies interior FEMA already existed, as did their directives. don't be stunned whilst human beings withstand those data. they might might desire to tutor off their TVs and watch Congressional hearings or examine government information to discover them. govt Orders have been to not be used to legislate, yet they have stepped forward to try this very element, and courts have ruled them to have the completed rigidity and results of Congressional regulation.

Answer 4

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
The United States government adopted a
"public interest" basis to lawmaking in 1902.
By 1994. this meant that the United States had been converted to a collectivistic system from top to bottom.
The collective means "the citizens of a country imagined as if they formed a single group living thing or entity". Under such a system, the governors claim to be infallible, necessary brain of that communal body, or"leaders"--mystical deciders of what's real, of public goals and of the punishments and rewards to be meted out to those who obey and to those who don't.

Is this "life, liberty and pursuit of priorities of happiness" for individuals, as secured by governmental servants?

It is I argue totalitarianism of a peculiar sort, pure and simple.

Don't wait for it to happen here--it happened, in 1994, a century
after responsible marketplaces of agreeing individuals were betrayed.

Answer 5

Oh is it still very valid.

Please read up what FDR did during WWII. You find out that we are not even close to it.

I know your question makes great headlines but not much based in fact.

Tell me what Rights have you lost since 9/11?
Or what part of the Constitution is now no longer valid for you?

Answer 6

Don't worry they will all be arrested when the time comes.

ARLINGTON, Va. -- Perhaps no place illustrates the toll of the Iraq war more vividly than Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery. In this "garden of stone," in ruler-straight rows, "rest one-tenth" of the Iraq war's American dead, whose number has reached 3,000.

One tenth, meaning the real total of US dead is 30,000 - 3,000 of which died IN IRAQ, the rest after evacuation !!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Bush and his anti-Constitution cronies days are numbered.
Now the American public needs to make sure the next demagogue, no matter the party label, will not be tolerated.

Answer 8

As long as leaders keep using it as toilet paper and citizens keep acting as if these rights and liberties aren't important (in their fantasy of relative security), it won't take long at all.

Answer 9

Just one more 9/11 and that does it....
