[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 4344437, member: 6146"] As if that would stop anything. Look how much extra-Constitutional stuff happens now. Look how it's been watered down, perverted, and ignored. The 2A of all things should be a clue. How much of it has been ignored, twisted, and violated over the last 100 years? Like RETOKSQUID's post outlined above: "allows the President to use the military to enforce federal law or suppress a rebellion against federal authority in a state" Isn't that EXACTLY what our Founders said about the government, when it was no longer deriving it's power from the people - that we have a "right to alter or abolish it"? Where did all of this "federal authority" come from? I don't recall a vote to institute the BATF, IRS, CIA, FBI...... and so many other oversteps not "given by consent of the governed". [/QUOTE]
