The Bill of Rights is NOT negotiable.

Concart said:
The only thing that matters is how the court views the Bill of Rights, and it is indeed 'negotiable' in that it is not unlimited. Period. When a personal right is outweighed by a public good, that right takes a back seat. Sorry.

where is that written? the exceptions against libel and slander have to do with harm
against another indy vigil.

Exactly my point. Government can restrict speech, press, religion, etc. Therefore, those rights are not absolute.

Obviously the Constitution does not define which restrictions are permissible, so that has become the role of the federal courts.

Libel and slander are not generally illegal--laws don't prohibit them. But there is a remedy in civil court.

laws prohibit them. that's why there's a legal remedy doy.

Sorry Joe you demented sod.
The 2nd Ammendment is part of the Bill of Rights.

What is it you don't understand about "Shall not be infringed"?

Pretty obvious this one never learned what a prefatory clause is, my father used to say to me, cut the grass and I'll give you five dollars, and I never thought in all that time that I was entitled to the five dollars whether I cut the grass or not

nowhere does it say 'IF you're in a militia', nor does is say 'the right of the militia'.

the prefatory clause only gives meaning as to why we the peoples right to arms shall not be infringed.
 
"The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections."
: Robert H. Jackson, US Supreme Court Justice West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943)

There's more of that lack of logic that I pointed to earlier. Thanks for playing.

Can’t help you with your ignorance of the SCOTUS rulings on the 2nd, Jethro. Have a literate 10 year old read and explain them to you.

Dumbfuck clown.
