…The Constitution is under no danger, unless Obama gets in office. He wants to trifle with the Bill of Rights, specifically the Second Amendment. But we've been all through that, and I don't wish to resume the debate since you all are blind to the danger of such a possibility. MM you haven’t been paying attention. An example: one of the last acts of the 2006 Republican Congress, via a clause inserted at the behest of the White House in the dead of night, gutted Posse Comitatus and granted expanded powers to the President under the Insurrection Act. One of those new powers was the Presidents ability to call up and command one State’s National Guard against the wishes of that State’s Governor, to fight in another State. Google the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007. And see here: en.wikipedia.org It took a majority Dem Congress to overturn that sneaky little power grab the next year. The past 8 years have seen a consistent assault against the First, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments. Gut those, and the 2nd is not worth a bucket of spit.
