How the hell do they get away with this? Why do voters put up with this? I remember watching the 2000 debates between Bush and Gore and two statements come to mind:

Gore - "I believe that the Constitution is a living document."

Bush - "The Constitution is a sacred document."

How plain and simple can it get? We all see that the 'rats care only about the laws that are convenient to them and those that aren't are to be either ignored or changed to suit their needs. The second amendment debate is an excellent example of this. They say that there are people who shouldn't own guns if they've committed felonies. I say that if people have committed felonies, their rights are then terminated and they don't get them back; the second amendment wouldn't apply. But the 'rats are suggesting that felons should be able to vote?! Are they that desperate of losing their power -and isn't power what it's all about- that they must rely on cheating, lawbreaking and pandering to criminals and illegals?

I'm an American first. Conservative Republican second. I know where I stand and I truly believe that I am in the majority. We voting citizens of our great land must remember who our allies are and back them. Especially on election days.

The United States Constitution

Article 1

Section 4.

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

Note it doesn't state that "the State's Supreme Court may at any time by law make or alter such regulations"

Also, the "51 day" law being broken by the 'rats was passed by legislature, not by judges. Therefore, to assume that judges have the power to ignore laws that they didn't have any part in passing is absurd.
