Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion.

Idiot, where does the 1st limit its restriction to only those "within our jurisdiction"?

1st Amendment, without a jurisdictional limit.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."


14th Amendment, with a jurisdictional limit.

nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Its our call, and must be done within the restrictions of OUR Constitution. That means it cannot be done in a way that discriminates against people based on religion.

Does that mean that our second amendment crosses borders?

Its OUR Constitution, fool....it carries no weight in any other place in the world except the US.....so don't talk like a buffoon....

We don't control what any other people do outside the US...OUR jurisdiction does not mean 'the world'.....

IF you are IN THIS COUNTRY, you get the benefits of living under our laws and Constitution....outside the US, our Constitution is meaningless.....

We are not stopping anyone from practicing their religion anywhere in the world....or stopping them from saying whatever they want to say....or carrying the weapons they desire....
we don't control them.....they are not under our jurisdiction.....

You have a very poor understanding of our Constitution and the laws in which our government could make for it not limited by the Constitution.

Let's just pretend our legislature wanted to making law that said anyone living in Mexico is prohibited from criticizing president Trump. That would be unconstitutional because it prohibits free-speech for a person.

I do not know of an enumerated right to self-defense, we do however have constitutionally protected rights to bear arms.

jarod, just stop. now you look plain dumb.
 
If these rights our God-given, you think it would be OK for our government to restring them for people who were not American?

It would be prohibited because we can't legislate what any Mexican citizen can or cannot do.....or any citizen in any country.....you're very stupid for a lawyer.....

We can't give people in another country freedom of religion, or give them the right to bear arms, nor any other rights.....

Tell that to Manuel Noriega
 
People who have never been to the United States can break American law and be indicted.
 
What the United States can do is refrain from making any laws prohibiting the free exercise of Religion, in Nebraska and in Cambodia!
 
BTW, a temporary suspension of visas is a constitutional action that I can see supported with current statutes. Whereas it could be constitutionally argued that much of the power granted to our goverrnment with Homeland Security is not.

Which Bible verse gives us the right to bear arms? Be specific, I'm not talking about self-defense but about guns.

Yet... 66% of Republicans voting in last nights primary believe that Congress shall make a law prohibiting Muslims from entering the country.

Any you guys go around screaming about how you want to elect a president that will follow the CONSTITUTION?

Seriously? This is what is wrong with the Republican party. If they can get rid of these xenophobic, terrified ninnies, they would be a respectable group capable of helping to run our nation. As long as they have this cancer they remain second class Americans incapable of grasping American values and founding ideals. I respect the Republican argument on economics, the Republican argument on how to deal with special interests, with how to create an atmosphere that will help businesses prosper, about small government... but when they use this argument to hide a true desire to exclude people they are afraid of, in a way that is totally unconstitutional, I lose complete respect for them....

66% WOW!

That is not because of their religion it's because they want to kill us!
