The Constitution exists to limit governments, not individuals -- this is a stupid idea. You don't write laws with the Constitution.

Do you oppose the Thirteenth Amendment?

They need to stop wasting their time on this crap and do something about the state of the Federal government.

The Lawrence decision significantly increased the power of the federal government -- specifically, the federal judiciary. And if we, the people, don't establish some boundries on the power of the federal courts, we're going to end up with an oligarchy of nine.

And you think that individuals were the ones that truly had the power to enforce the state of chattel slavery in the United States? And do you think a law that FREES a large segment of our population was a limit on the freedom of individuals?

By that logic, laws against murder are a limit on freedom(which technically, they are, but that's to guard the life and freedom of the potential victim.)
