Typhoid, I stated before nothing gives the administration the right to do what they did. Pres. Obama is not a ruler, he is a public servant, and swore to uphold the constitution when he was sworn in. He has not. We do not elect Kings, we elect Presidents who make up one third of Federal power (Executive, Legislative and Judicial).


Game, I don't think violations of the Constitution to be annoying, they are a breach of our most basic trust in our governing officials. You talk about those that think like me failing to trust this administration. I am not the one breaking the trust. If you can not trust that a government will abide by the laws that founded it and they swore to enforce, why should we trust them?


Seth, to answer your question, I am a proponent of the 2nd amendment, and I am a gun owner. I find all the bluster about the intention of the amendment to be a bit silly. If you read the correspondence of the founders it is quite obvious what they intended: that each citizen has the right, and some believed the duty, of gun ownership.

That said, I don't mind reasonable regulation if guns, like background checks. I am against prohibitive taxes on ammunition, however, as I believe that violates the intention of the 2nd amendment as it is a way to basically castrate the amendment.

Other than that Seth, you're on your own. This whole shadow government and detention center thing is a bit out of control, IMO. If the current administration continues in this direction, we won't have to sorry about them in 4 years. The American people may be optimists and even gullible at times, but they are not stupid sheep to be led to their own disenfranchisement. The tide will eventually turn if these actions by the administration become a pattern. I still think elections matter.
