Radical Left’s 1st Item of Business: Retire Bill Of Rights, Starting w/ 2nd Amendment

Radical Left’s 1st Item of Business: Retire Bill Of Rights, Starting w/ 2nd Amendment

New York – -(AmmoLand.com)- Recall, it wasn’t long ago that retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice, John Paul Stevens, remarked that the Second Amendment should be redrafted to make clear and unequivocal that the right of the people to keep and bear arms is not an individual, unalienable, immutable right. Stevens authored a book audaciously titled, “Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution.” In it, he proclaimed the need for a massive redraft of the Bill of Rights. Disagreeing with the idea of a set of fundamental, immutable, natural rights implicit in it, he wished to replace it, to reflect his vision of the world, one at odds with the vision of the framers.

In his book, Stevens devotes attention to the Second Amendment to reflect his philosophy, his vision of America. His remarks constitute a vehement denunciation of the Heller rulings—as penned by the late eminent high Court Justice, Antonin Scalia—a strong denunciation Stevens dared not articulate in his dissent to the Heller decision.

But, on further reflection, Stevens evidently felt that a substantial redraft of the Second Amendment would be insufficient to set the Country on the course he sought: one cohering with the tenets of Collectivism. So, he went further. He argued for the outright abolition of the natural right of the people to keep and bear arms. The left-wing Magazine Time, citing John Paul Stevens’ Op-Ed appearing in The New York Times, wrote:

“Retired Associate Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens has an idea for addressing gun violence in America: repeal the Second Amendment.”

Unfortunately, John Paul Stevens isn’t the only Supreme Court Justice who has condemned and has exhibited contempt for the Constitution the framers gave to us. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who presently sits on the Supreme Court, has also espoused little regard for our Constitution. The Daily Signal took Ginsburg to task:

“Conservatives are often ridiculed for criticizing activist judges who fail to respect the Constitution. We are told that it is not conservative originalists (labeled ignorant and extremist) but rather enlightened liberal judges—with their nuanced understanding of constitutional penumbras—who truly respect the spirit of the Constitution.

Justice Ginsburg
For example, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told an Egyptian TV station that she would not recommend the U.S. Constitution as the model for Egypt’s new government.

Conservatives, however, have good reason to be skeptical of the left’s ‘respect’ for the Constitution. . . for example, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told an Egyptian TV station that she would not recommend the U.S. Constitution as the model for Egypt’s new government. The problem, you see, is that the U.S. Constitution is ‘a rather old constitution.’ Ginsburg suggested that Egyptians should look instead to the Constitution of South Africa or perhaps the European Convention on Human Rights. All these are ‘much more recent than the U.S. Constitution.’

Ginsburg’s comments echo those by Washington University professor David Law, who published a study with Mila Versteeg on the U.S. Constitution’s declining influence worldwide. In an interview, Law unfavorably compared the Constitution to ‘Windows 3.1’—outdated and unattractive in a world of sleek and sexy modern constitutions. Such obsession with the age of the Constitution is both absurd and irrelevant.

Equally ridiculous is the claim that the Constitution is too antiquated to apply to the modern world. The principles of the Constitution, although first articulated centuries ago, are not tied to the material conditions of a bygone age. They rest on that most solid and enduring of all foundations: human nature. The Constitution itself contains no policy prescriptions. Rather, it is a short, elegantly written document that creates a framework for a free people to confront the political questions of their times.”

Slightly over a year ago, the National Review pointed out that, with the various changes Democrats would like to make to the U.S. Constitution, they dared not mention, at that time, what they really are after. They realize that to make their Collectivist nightmare of America a reality, it is necessary to do away with the Constitution as it is the framework for our Constitutional Republic, which they seek to undo.

But even as Congressional Democrats do not, at least at the moment, talk expressly of rewriting the U.S. Constitution in its entirety, the Democrats’ bullhorn, the mainstream media, has shown no such reluctance in doing so: proclaiming what the Collectivist world view requires.

The Leftist magazine, Harper’s, emblazoned its October 2019 cover with an incredibly audacious question, as the lead-in to the magazine’s featured article, “Do We Need the Constitution?”

Perusing the article, the reader comes to understand that the question is not only audacious; it is rhetorical. A subtitle within the magazine makes that clear, as Harpers presumptuously asks: “Has America’s founding document become the nation’s undoing?” Several Radical Left academic luminaries, namely Donna Edwards, Mary Anne Franks, David Law, Lawrence Lessig, and Louis Michael Seidman, address the presumed and misplaced—as they see it—subservience of the Nation to the U.S. Constitution. Harpers’ readers are obviously supposed to take on faith that the arguments evinced are logically sound, reasonable, and profound. But even a perfunctory analysis makes clear enough that the remarks amount to nothing more than sophistry, a collective superficial polemic, scarcely hiding the academicians’ contempt for the very framework of our Nation. Consider: how is it that Harpers and the Radical Left academicians would reconcile abandonment of a Constitution, one that has stood the test of time, with the idea implicit in the concept of “Rule of Law” that they apparently subscribe to and to the notion that they would ostensibly also ascribe to, namely that, in our Constitutional Republic, we, as Americans are ruled by law, not by men? Without a Constitution, as the backbone of our body of law built up over time, how might the American citizenry fare, under a new transnational system of governance–one predicated on Collectivist tenets that, at their core, eschew the dignity, sanctity, and inviolability of the individual?

The slippery slope of incessant, incendiary, insufferable Leftist attacks on various parts of the Constitution in the Harpers’ feature article, ends with a proclamation in response to the rhetorical question, do we need the U.S. Constitution? “No we don’t need this U.S. Constitution at all”—which is to say, the concept of our Sovereign Independent Nation-State, as a Constitutional free, Democratic Republic, as laid out in our “rather old Constitution,” as Ruth Bader Ginsburg asserts, is too old-hat, to continue to exist and should be replaced: but replaced with what exactly?

Through the words and actions of the Democrat Party leadership, along with the words and actions of Radical Left elements within the Party and within the greater society at large, and with the policy prescriptions of the Democrat Party Candidates for U.S. President, as mentioned in the Party debates, the American people should have a pretty good clue what these people they have in mind for the Nation if they gain the reins of power.

The Democrats don’t have to re-write the Constitution, they only have to continue to do what they have been doing since the middle of the 20th Century, which is re-interpret (pervert) it or just ignore it, which is done almost every time Congress writes a new law. The end result is the same as destroying the Constitution by making it mute or irrelevant, it only takes longer, and is more subtle and easily done.

Recall that many states are already breaking Federal law on immigration, drugs, violation of the 2nd Amendment and so on.

@CD, I have to disagree. Only certain politicians are in open rebellion. Just now things are going our way (e.g. judicial appointments, swamp draining), except in Va. All we have to do is out vote the libtards. Restore the Republic.

Which is exactly why our solemn and sacred duty is to revive awareness of our Constitution and the fact that it is binding as written on government, and to clearly label those who would abrogate it as enemy insurgents guilty of the High Crime of Perjury of their oaths of office and of Treason to the extent they adhere to the enemies of our nation giving them aid and comfort.

Progressives have long believed that our Constitution is antiquated in form and in ideas. The history of this thinking is a lot longer than you may think. Progressive scorned libertarian thinking Americans like Frederick Douglass who saw the need for carefully crafted and protected statements of individual liberties in order to protect minorities and the vilified classes in society. That is why you don’t hear much about Douglass in modern progressive social banter. He was a Constitutional liberal. Progressives are antimatter to that thinking.

Frederick Douglass was a self-freed slave and worthy of our greatest respect, not only for his success in freeing himself, but for his great intellect. But my comment here goes to another issue, the label “Progressive.” Throughout the 1800’s people were absolutely ecstatic about their new freedoms, about the fact, for example, the average working man, woman, and child improved their living standard more than in the previous 25 centuries thanks to a monetary system, of intrinsic value (wealth) rather than units of the national debt as now, and thanks to the great value of a form of government founded… Read more »

In my opinion the Bill of Rights was written so the common man could read and understand it without the benefit of a lawyer’s interpretation.

A lot of people regularly call for a convention of states to “fix” the problems. One huge issue that almost no one brings to that table is that there is no guarantee that there will be enough support for a right to keep and bear arms component, term limits, etc. What if a majority of the states decide to support no arms, term limits, etc? What if they come up with and ratify a socialist manifesto? Full on communism?

@H; I suggest you go to the COS directly and read the “guide lines” which MUST be followed. These “guide lines” are there to STOP a “run away” Convention Of States.

Frdmftr

Those “guidelines” were there for the original Convention held to address the inadequacies of the Articles of Confederation; the delegates were prohibited from addressing any other matter. But they found the Articles could not be saved, that they needed a whole new Constitution. That’s why they had to call for ratification of their efforts in the news media of the time, the article they wrote eventually becoming the Federalist Papers. They exceeded their mandate by a long shot, and there is no grounds to be sanguine about a current COS doing the same thing regardless of “guidelines.”

Superman

Term limits are already enshrined in our Constitution. They are called elections and are held on a regular basis. The REAL problem is most citizens can’t be bothered to get off of their collective fat azzes to bother to REGISTER to vote, much less cast a ballot. ‘We have met the enemy and he is us’ – Pogo.

gregs

true, if every firearm owner in America would vote in every election for the non-democrat politician we would be on our way back to sanity. problem is that with a leftists you know what you are voting for, but with a (r) by their name, they sometimes are not conservative and want to be liked by the lame stream media, i.e. Collins, Murkowski, McCain and the one from Missouri. President Trump had gotten many judges appointed this term and when re-elected will appoint more constitutionalist judges. get out, talk with people, write letters to the editor, and vote.

Frdmftr

Candidates are often no more aware of the principles of our government foundation than the average doofus in the street, and they tend to campaign under the rubric of the party they think is most likely to elect them in whatever district they are in. Then they go on to propose cockamamie legislation that violates every right we have, like the Brady Act that converts our right to keep and bear arms into a revocable government-issued permission government lawfully has no power to issue or deny, and compels us to give up our 4th, 5th, 9th, and 10th Amendment rights… Read more »

Yes elections are there. However, elections have been proven to stop professional politicians from being in the same office for DECADES deciding what is “best for We the People” – – even when these “politicians” FEEL they know better than WE the PEONS TELL THEM WE DO NOT WANT WHAT THEY DECIDE. As an example: the DemoNAZIS in Virginia who are acting as TYRANNICAL TYRANTS, or wannabe “dictators”.

@"MCCLOUD!", You always say the same thing and it is still only partly true. Our employees that work in government have found lots of ways around that one control on them. Other employees are not even subject to that election control.

You were doing fine, exemplary fine, until you advocated the Convention of States. The problems we are having are the result of the federal government not obeying the U.S. Constitution in the first place, and the Constitution conveys no power to the federal government to do anything not specifically authorized by that document. It doesn’t even convey the power to the federal government to declare the 17th Amendment ratified depriving the States of their suffrage in the Senate (and their ability to keep the federal government in check).

Point of consideration: The idea that politics is based on a straight line, with the right wing to the right of center, the left wing to the left of center, and the moderates halfway between the two, is bogus. The purpose of that illustration is to keep the political wheels spinning without getting anywhere. In reality, it don’ work like dat. In reality, politics are more accurately represented as a circle.

@Frdmftr – Agree that a line is far too simplistic a model. Your 2D-circle description is a far better representation. Reality is that there are far more political dimensions to all of us. Of course trying to analyze in more dimensions gets complicated quickly and is probably no more useful than your 2D model.

@Hankus, Well said! I bet that RBG costs the federal health insurance system a hell of a lot more than the health insurance companies of ordinary Americans would pay.

You know what’s also not sexy: Not murdering.

Idiots. An ideas age has no no bearing on if it’s valid or not.
These are our best legal minds? Pathetic.

I am very disappointed Trumps LACK of stepping up and BEING MR.Mr. 2A POTUS he bragged so much about, he has’t done shiot.

@DZ – Which makes the preceding tweet so much more impressive.

Unfortunately I think trump is not expressing any heartfelt appreciation for Jack Wilson’s act – he is simply capitalizing on an obvious opportunity to take political gain from a mistake by his adversary.

This article relates, “Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told an Egyptian TV station that she would not recommend the U.S. Constitution as the model for Egypt’s new government. “Equally ridiculous is the claim that the Constitution is too antiquated to apply to the modern world. The principles of the Constitution, although first articulated centuries ago, are not tied to the material conditions of a bygone age” (Roger Katz, “Radical Left’s 1st Item of Business: Retire Bill Of Rights, Starting w/ 2nd Amendment”). Compare this to the following. Realize that in some cities, small vending companies which could not afford… Read more »

“Honor” is a concept completely foreign to most Americans. Without a moral core, there can be no Honor. We have a country filled with wild animals, after all “If it feels good, do it” said Nike, a communist Chinese company. The anti-America democrats have employed the Communist Manifesto and it has played well in our society of wealth, free time and luxury. American families, who REFUSE to teach their children the principles of morality and virtue, and refuse to discipline their brats, are creating a generation of insane murdering monsters. We see this in the fascist ‘antifa’ terrorists. We saw… Read more »

Man! You have THAT correct. These new crop of kids growing up are totally nuts. All they care about is themselves. Heck, they don’t even like sex. They would rather use dope and listen to music 24/7. The communist democrats have used the education system to make several generations of ‘useful idiots’. By the way, I just saw on the TV guide, “The man from Laramie” a 1955 cowboy movie. It’s description is “A cowboy sets out to find the man who sold automatic weapons to Apaches”. WTF? “automatic weapons”? The propaganda never stops. I never knew lever-action Winchester 1873… Read more »

@tt; You are INCORRECT. MOST American are moral and are honorary. I see a lot of 0b0z0’s imports not having the MORAL FIBER that Americans have grown up with. The “professional money grubbing politicians” and their IMMORAL attitudes are a big problem right now. One of the BIGGEST problems America faces is the COMMUNISTS that are in OUR GOVERNMENT who are WANTON to destroy the America WE the PEOPLE believe in.

Heed the Call-up

Gene, one does not need religion to be moral and ethical. Many religious people are not moral nor ethical. I am an Atheist, but I do believe in morals and ethics. No society is moral and ethical. Your example of stealing the railroad is quite amusing. I gather you were thinking of the “robber barons” as you wrote that, the same as I was thinking while reading your post? “In his day there were enough moral and religious people (read- ‘Christian’)”? Only Christians are religious? Wow. And we know how well that worked in the past. How many different sects… Read more »

‘I am an Atheist but I do believe in morals and ethics’. That is like claiming ‘an effective anchor has no chain’. Nice try; no cigar.

Some of the worst atrocities and mass murders of the past–and still today–have been perpetrated in the name of religion. Heed is right. Morals and ethics are within the person, not a religion they choose or choose not. Most of our laws are based on and dependent on voluntary compliance. The federal income tax, for example, has the threat of audit with fines and penalties, but in truth it is mostly dependent on people’s compliance. A guy I used to know (he passed away just last year) used to say, “You don’t trust people. You’re better off trusting a dog… Read more »

@Bowser, Yes, “in the name of religion”, in name only. Religion is how you get morality into a person. Your brief and correct testimony on complying with law, as you have systematically observed it, is evidence that government promulgated law is not the answer.
