Supreme Court Places Limitations on Excessive Fines for Those Convicted, Accused of Crimes

Supreme Court Places Limitations on Excessive Fines for Those Convicted, Accused of Crimes. They used the 14th Amendment. We wonder how this will affect the red flag seizure laws that can take guns away from citizen without due process?

“As it did in earlier cases applying parts of the Bill of Rights to the states, the court based its decision on the part of the 14th Amendment that says “no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law.” 

Thomas said he would have relied on the Constitution’s language forbidding states from making or enforcing “any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” (5th Amendment)

Justice Neil Gorsuch also expressed his preference for the privileges or immunities clause.

Revoking birthright citizenship would enforce the Constitution

Revoking birthright citizenship would enforce the Constitution. Leave it to the liberals to interpret the Constitution based upon what they pull out of their asses.

President Trump is not proposing to “amend” the Constitution by executive order. He is proposing to faithfully enforce the Constitution as written, not how it has erroneously come to be interpreted in the last half century. It’s long overdue.

Representative James Clyburn urges Obama to transform the Presidency into a monarchy

So this is how James Clyburn would have our democracy end. Not with a bang. Not even with a whimper. But with Obama assuming the unilateral power.

So this is how James Clyburn would have our democracy end. Not with a bang. Not even with a whimper. But with Obama assuming the unilateral power to further sell off our children’s futures to China in his never ending crusade to buy votes and pay back his political cronies.

"The Constitution? Hmmmmm. I've heard people talk about it, but I'm not really familiar with it myself."

Real Clear Politics provides the stage:

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC): “I’ve said time and time again, if the President gets up to August 2nd, without a piece of legislation, he should not allow this country to go into default. He should sign an Executive Order invoking the 14th Amendment and send that to all the governmental agencies for us to continue to pay our bills. He could do that with a stroke of a pen.

“We’ve seen many big things done in history that way. I’ve joked with my staff the other day, ‘tell me what was the bill number of the Emancipation Proclamation.’ It was an Executive Order.

Perhaps someone should let the honorable Representative James Clyburn know. Through the Emancipation Proclamation Lincoln sought to free some of the slaves, not create new ones.
