Why give big govt. types MORE authority?

That was the most cogent and thoughtful discourse I have heard on the subject in 4 years. You obviously understand the situation better than those clowns on capitol hill.

I know from experience what it is like to move to a foreign country and having to obey laws I never knew. It does say in fairly good size print on a green card that the card must be in the holders possession at all times and must be provided to any official on demand.

You don't HAVE to produce it for them, but they will just call a cop and get it from him anyway. Final point, many times a highly intelligent criminal (sarc) will try to bluff an officer til his ID gets run. He may even claim not to have one. (they always do) It is almost impossible to live in this country without being in the system SOMEWHERE. You HAVE to register for the draft at 18, or you go to jail. You HAVE to have a SS# to work, or you starve. You HAVE to have a DL to drive, you may get away with it for a bit but they will eventually figure you out.

Every cop in a courthouse is doing it. It's a Federal law that firearms are prohibited in government buildings. A cop can pick me up for kiddie porn or drugs, which are state AND federal violations.Double jeopardy DOES exist in those scenarios. I don't care if its FBI, DEA, ATF, FHP, or any SO (Florida Highway Patrol and Sheriff's Office respectively) ; crime is crime. They don't give a flying monkey crap if its a state or federal statute. They WILL lock you up.

This document must be carried on your person while operating a motor vehicle. Bam. Point, blank, period. No loophole, no "Commercially". Done. In all 50 states, what is the first thing a cop says as he approaches? "Licence and Registration, please."

"repeal and replace" I don't WANT a replacement. I just want the original abortion repealed! This is not a "Health Bill" its a TAX bill.

Let's analyze your statement, shall we? Where do wolves strike? The sick, the young, and the old. The ones who cannot keep up with the herd or the one who can be forced out to be eaten. Have you ever seen what happens to wolves when the herd doesn't scatter and instead plants its feet? The wolves get mauled or break off their attack. They can see the numbers game just like the rest of us. Now if you want to ride the walls, go right ahead. Me? I'm going to wait and see if they feel like dying. If they do, well, I aim to help them achieve their goal........... Quickly.

We DO need to restore honor to our government. The government only rules by the CONSENT of the GOVERNED. Well, we don't consent anymore.

I GOT this. I'm gonna wear the most provoking shirt I have on tuesday. It had the Declaration of Independence on one side, and the Constitution on the other.
