Most people don't know this, but state governments
did not have to honor the Bill of Rights
when they were created.
It wasn't until the 14th Amendment passed, which
was just after the Civil War that state governments
were required to honor the Bill of Rights.
Of course the government tyrants at both the
state and Federal level have routinely flushed
the Bill of Rights down the toilet.
Prior to the 14th Amendment many states did have
laws which legally mixed government and religion.
Of course this was legal and constitutional because
prior to the 14th Amendment the states did not have to
honor the Bill of Rights.
- Of course in modern times many states and the Federal
government do pass illegal, unconstitutional laws which
mix religion and government. And of course this violates
the First Amendment.
Examples of these are Blue laws, laws against prostitution
and the use of recreational drugs.
And laws making it illegal for gays to get married.
Tempe along with the state of Arizona have erected
a number of monuments which glorifiy the Christian god
the Tempe and Arizona rulers worship.
I can go on for ever on this but I will leave it at that.
- Of course there are lots of laws that flush the freedom
of speech part of the 1st down the toilet.
The Patriot Act is one of them.
Arizona has a law that makes it illegal to put
information about police officers on the internet.
Putting fear into the hearts of people who want to
expose crooked cops.
- Currently there are 10,000+ laws on the books of
state governments and the Federal government which
do infringe on the right to keep and bear arms.
One good example is the law making it illegal to
own machine guns and other military weapons.
Well the law doesn't make it illegal to own military
weapons, it taxes the krap out of them and has draconian
penalties for violating the law.
When that law was first passed in the 1930's it put a
yearly $200 tax on machine guns which could be bought
for $5 mail order thru the Sears Catalog.
Clearly the tax was not to raise revenue, but to make
machine guns illegal by taxing the krap out of them.
- A number of Supreme Court decisions have flushed
our 4th Amendment rights down the toilet.
The only one I will mention is Terry v Ohio which
says it is OK for the cops to search a persons when
they stop a persons.
Of course that is for the safety of the officer.
My self I have been illegally searched a number of
times by cops when I have been stopped and they
either searched me, my car, my belongings or my
home illegally.
In all those cases I told the police that they did
not have my permission to search me and my property
illegally.
Of course the usually response from the police is
F*** you jerk!
I got a gun and a badge and can do anything I want.
- Pete Wilson
of Arizona (not related to the California governor)
was tried twice on some marijuana charges.
Pete Wilson acquired an Arizona dope dealers license along
with some Arizona marijuana tax stamps, as required by
Arizona law for people who sell or use illegal drugs.
Pete Wilson was subsequently arrested for possession of marijuana.
The justice of peace who heard the charges dropped them all.
He said after all that Pete Wilson had purchased a dope dealers
license and dope tax stamps so he was not guilty of any crime.
Of course Rick Romley tried and convicted Pete Wilson a second time
on this charge violating his Fifth Amendment rights.
The tyrants in the Arizona government subsequently repealed
that Arizona law which required dope dealers to get a license
and tax stamps when they discovered it might give dope dealers
a loophole to get out of any drug war crimes they were arrested
for.
- I have been stopped a number of times by the police.
Each time I take the 5th and tell the cops I do not
want to answer any of their questions until my lawyer is
present.
Each and every time I do this I am told by the police
terrorists that detained me that I do not have any 5th
Amendment rights and I have to answer their questions.
Again after reading the 5th I don't see any clause in it
that says it is null and void when a police thug with
a gun and badge wants to question you.
In fact if you asked the founders why they wrote the
5th they would tell you it was to protect you from
the police terrorists that stopped me.
- The RICO laws which say your property can be convicted
of a crime and the government can seize it violate
this sections of the 5th Amendment.
Of course the government tyrants will let you keep your
property if you can prove it didn't commit a crime.
These RICO laws have been passed by both the state governments
and the Federal governments.
- Any defense attorney or public defender will laugh at you if
you think you have a right to a speedy trial.
People often sit in jails for years waiting for a trial.
Kevin Walsh
who is a political prisoner was arrested
and accused of assaulting a Phoenix cop said in jail a
year waiting for a trial.
He never got one.
Instead he accepted a plea bargain which let him out
of jail in six more months in exchange for pleading
guilty to some trivial crimes.
Don't make me laugh your right to a speedy trial was
flushed down the toilet both at the state and federal
levels years ago by government tyrants.
- An impartial jury? Don't make me laugh.
The government attempts select zombies
who will rubber stamp anything the government
says and put them on juries.
And if possible the government will refuse
to let anyone sit on the jury who has
negative views about the police, prosecutor,
laws or the government.
Last most states and the Federal government
refuse to tell juries that they have the right via
jury nullification
to refuse to convict a person they know is guilty
if the think the laws are unjust.
In the days when slavery was legal juries routinely
exercised their right to jury nullification and refused
to convict people who were guilty of helping slaves
escape.
The same thing happened during the Prohibition when
juries refused to convict bootleggers who were guilty
as hell because they thought the laws were unjust.
Juries should be refusing to convict drug war criminals
because the drug war laws are both unjust and unconstitutional
but this rarely happens because judges will not inform juries
of their right to nullify unjust and unconstitutional laws.
- Your Eight Amendment right to bail has been flushed down
the toilet by Federal and state laws which make some
crimes "capital crimes" which the government says are
so dastardly that the government says you can't have any bail.
Of course I can't find the secret clause in the 8th Amendment
that says no bail is allowed for these allegedly dastardly
crimes.
- At the time the Bill of Rights were written the
States, were the supreme governments who could
do more or less anything they wanted to do,
with a few minor exceptions of things prohibited
by the Constitution, such as not being allowed to
issue money.
Of course the 10th Amendment has been flushed down the
toilet and the Federal government is now the
supreme government that will do anything it wants to do.
