    jimmymccready Not in the slightest. The fallacy is one of difference not kind. We are all human, Hitler was human, thus we are the same as Hitler.

    Libertarianism is the flip side of communism: both are pathological in terms of dominating the weaker.

    That does not solve the problem of presidential actions and legislative laws that do not involve cases brought before the courts. If the president issued an unconstitutional executive order or Congress passed an unconstitutional governmental program (ACC) there are no cases brought to the courts.

    The only cases would be suits challenging the constitutionality of those acts and that involves court interpretation of the Constitution.
    executive orders that are unconstitutional, but bring no cases before a court, are checked by congress. they can impeach or pass a law that invalidates said order.

    unconstitutional laws that do not bring cases before the court are checked by the executive by not enforcing them.

    to interpret something, that something would have to be vague. the constitution is not. a law passed by congress might be, but the courts can invalidate the law for vagueness and that has nothing to do with interpreting the constituiton
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    that must mean that liberals truly hate freedom, because that's what libertarian ideology is all about.

    This case is about the vagueness of the information, not the substantive right.

    Setting aside that you are clearly not qualified to talk about case law, let's cut to the chase,

    Are you for or against a person brandishing a weapon in public and thereby scaring the shit out of people?
    What if I jump up on my table, pull out my shotgun and wave it around motioning everyone to the ground?
    Is that alarming to you? What if I go to a park bench with a bunch of kids and take out said weapon
    and methodically start cleaning it and stroking it while giggling and laughing demonically? What if I sit at Denny's across
    from your wife and gently set down my pistol with the barrel aimed at her? Alarming?

    Keep those things at home locked up or in your truck unless you are in a field on "N ranch" shooting your dinner.

    define brandishing. Because if it's what I think brandishing is, then no. If it's what the typical anti gunner calls brandishing, then yes.

    pretty sure we call that armed robbery

    Quote Originally Posted by Micawber View Post

    what if you're in an open carry state? should that be alarming?

    are we using my definition of branding? then that would be alarming.

    are you prepared to have her shoot you?

    so you don't believe we have a right to self defense outside the home? is that the liberal belief in might makes right?

    That would assume Congress opposes that executive order or the president opposes the legislation (which he could have vetoed). If the president chose not to enforce a law passed by Congress he is violating his constitutional oath to see that the law is faithfully executed.

    If Congress and the president support those acts then there is no check on their constitutionality.

    There is much in the Constitution that is vague or does not cover modern events and must be interpreted by the courts. Does "necessary and proper" mean absolutely necessary or just convenient and appropriate as determined by Congress? Hamilton and Jefferson could not agree on its meaning in the creation of a national bank. Thus, the courts had to interpret that provision that determined the constitutionality of the bank.

    You seemed willing to ignore the president's order to faithfully execute the laws--does that mean the president has a choice whether to enforce a law. If so, the Constitution's provision to execute the laws is not actually a requirement.

    if the presidents veto is overridden, then we the people have spoken and are obviously in favor of it, thus it is constitutional. if the president then refuses to enforce a law that has been passed with a veto proof majority, he can then be impeached.

    the constitution isn't relevant when it comes to modern events because the constitution is a document that restricts the government, not the people.

    'necessary and proper' is confined to being exercised in pursuance of the express written powers of congress. If a law is passed that has nothing to do with those powers, it is null and void.

    that wasn't their purview or in their power to do so.

    should a president be required to enforce an obviously unconstitutional law? or is the matter of constitutionality only belong to the judiciary?

    Not in the slightest. The fallacy is one of difference not kind. We are all human, Hitler was human, thus we are the same as Hitler.

    Libertarianism is the flip side of communism: both are pathological in terms of dominating the weaker.
