Dude, just read through your three posts and am now thoroughly depressed. Crossing fingers that McDonald rights some of the past's wrongs. -
I can't believe that they didn't include Buck v. Bell.Comment

I for one am thoroughly angered that the public is not aware of this and does nothing about it, or that some even like it."You can't stop insane people from doing insane things with insane laws. That's insane!" -- Penn Jillette

You should have posted three times in one thread.
But the biggest case missed BY FAR was US v. Cruikshank, the case that launched 4,000+ lynchings and a whole lot more mayhem across generations.
Dred Scott was in the running too but in my mind, Cruikshank was far worse.
Slaughter-house was right behind Cruikshank, and a direct predecessor.Comment

Patriot, excellent post. Nation States and cultures have come and gone to be replaced with something different along the way. In some cases these dominant cultures self destructed by various means. I am convinced we as a Nation are on the verge of self destruction and the Dirty Dozen are indeed part of the reason. The previously functioning systems that promoted prosperity and justice are now perverted to the path of corruption and destruction. Liberty as we Americans have previously percieved it, can not survive in this current context. I am looking to the next iteration of political and social culture. I think the only way individual Liberty will survive is to get on the Mayflower and sail to a Liberty Community and join in the political evolution occuring. I can't move to Keene NH but I am a friend of and support them. Free Keene and the Free State Project is the new Revolution, the old paradigm is dead. I think this movement while originating in the Freeist State will diffuse outward, it's just a matter of time as the corrupt paradigm fails because Liberty has a life of it's own.Last edited by Hunt; 01-17-2010, 3:00 PM.Protect public lands access http://www.backcountryhunters.org/Comment

Kelo was deplorable. Interstate commerce is the avenue through the Fed asserts its right to control just about everything.Comment

please tell this layperson what is the basis for "compelling State interest".
How did the precedent for courts come into being to decide in favor of the State to violate the individuals enumerated rights?Protect public lands access http://www.backcountryhunters.org/Comment
