8 years of lawlessness and your head is still filled garbage. Other than the 3 dunces here nobody else does anything but lol at your bs. The msm is building up anger towards a crisis that doesn’t exist and is entirely of their own making. Dt was right on all points. Most asylum claims are bogus. MSM propagates lies cuz they are Dem activists. “The story we used was in the ‘spirit’ of truth but it was a lie.” — Lawrence Polyakov (@Larrypolya22) June 22, 2018

“Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals—that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government—that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizens’ protection against the government.”

“The American system is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic. A democracy, if you attach meaning to terms, is a system of unlimited majority rule . . . a form of collectivism, which denies individual rights . . . . The American system is a constitutionally limited republic, restricted to the protection of individual rights. In such a system, majority rule is applicable only to lesser details, such as the selection of certain personnel. But the majority has no say over the basic principles governing the government. It has no power to ask for or gain the infringement of individual
rights.”

“Ours was the first government based on and strictly limited by a written document—the Constitution—which specifically forbids it to violate individual rights or to act on whim. The history of the atrocities perpetrated by all the other kinds of governments—unrestricted governments acting on unprovable assumptions—demonstrates the value and validity of the original political theory on which this country was built.”
