    Do you accept the congressional power to regulate immigration? That is not in the Constitution.
    it actually IS in at least a couple of places.

    Art. 1, Sec. 8, clause 4...
    To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization

    Art. 1, Sec 9, para, 1.

    The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.
    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.

    Neither of those are about immigration. Naturalization means rules establishing citizenship. Naturalization laws (from 1790) did not include anything about immigration. Naturalization and immigration are not the same thing.

    The other refers to the importation of slaves. Congress could not prohibit the importation of slavery for 20 years.

    Again, for this idiot BidenPresident:

    The 2nd amendment discusses two related rights.

    The right of a government to defend itself. They do this by organizing militias (or army). Each State specifically has the right to defend itself.
    The right of an individual to defend themselves. They do this with arms, meaning weapons. It can be ANY weapon of their choice. Defense includes defense against a rogue government.

    Militias organized by States are well regulated. The State creates them, organizes their structure, and has a leader (the governor of that State). The State also specifies their purpose and targets. It controls how it's members are selected and organized. By nature, militias created by States are 'well regulated'. The ability to create militias is necessary for a free State...in other words for a State that has sovereignty, even if that sovereignty is part of a Union of other States. A government's right to defend itself is an inherent right. It comes as a result of States being made up of people.

    Individuals have the right to keep and bear arms. That means weapons. ANY type of weapon. It can be a knife, sword, gun, artillery, explosive, or nuclear bomb.
    That is a right that does not come from the Constitution. It comes as an inherent right.

    The Constitution only specifically prohibits the government (including State governments) from messing with either of these rights.

    Well put, relating the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and the Federal Papers.

    Claiming who is on an ignore list is just fapping. Ignore lists do not prevent anyone from stating their philosophies, opinions, or discussing something like the Constitution. All they really do is take the person who made the ignore list out of the conversation. It just lets other talk behind their back, so to speak.

    I don't bother with them.

    So, if there are only 48 states as you claim because states disobeyed their own constitutions, the U. S. Constitution never went into effect because it disobeyed the Articles. Right--both are farfetched.
    The Articles of Confederation was destroyed by the owners of that confederation, the States. It was replace by the Constitution of the United States, also owned by the States.

    Any State government the discards it's constitution is no longer a State. There is no constitution in force to declare and define that State government.

    This has happened in the former States of California and New York. I call them the SOTC and the SOTNY now. The Socialist Oligarchy of the Territory of California. The SOTC.

    I did not see him stating that, so my apologies as well for my assumptions
    I have stated there are currently only 48 States of America. The SOTC and the SOTNY are no longer States of America. They have no functioning constitution and their governments are currently both oligarchies. Since Oregon is also heading in this direction, there may soon be only 47.
