Can we get secret service to protect the constitution?

The constitution is under attack, I think, like never before in our nation's history. As I present the evidence please observe who seem to be responsible.

Topping the list of evidence is the madness going on in Conneticut right now. Rep Michael Lawlor and Sen Andrew McDonald introduced a bill that would turn control of the finances of the local Catholic parishes in Connecticut to lay councils. You read that right, the government would step in to take control of certain business of the Catholic church. Thankfully this legislation is temporarily shelved after facing a wrath of public outcry, but we've only begun to see the assaults on religion and thereby the first amendment.

Second on the list of evidence involves, appropriately, the second amendment. This assault on the constitution involves an Illinois state lawmaker, Rep Ken Dunkin who is proposing that gun owners be required to carry personal liability insurance of at least $1 million "covering any damages resulting from negligent or willful acts involving the use of such firearm while it is owned by such person." I'm thinking finding a cheap insurance policy for this is about as easy as getting congress to stop spending money. This has NOTHING to do with protecting people and everything to do with attacking the 2nd amendment by putting undue burden on law abiding gun owners. Strange, Illinois has such a good track record with politics lately......

Then there's California. Disagreements over law is nothing new. There are constitutional, democratic ways to change law, the purest form of which is arguably by popular vote. Whether state or federal, this is as good as it gets in the democratic process. But in the case of Prop 8, those pesky stupid peasants, whom we shall refer to as "the public" or "the voters" decided they wanted marriage to be defined as one man and one woman......the nerve. Liberals followed their tried and true formula and responded by suing to overturn the will of the people. Currently this is being debated before the California Supreme Court, but whatever the outcome, the point remains: liberals care more about their agenda than that annoying document that's always getting in the way called the Constitution.
