Reply #349: Intentions? [View All]

[fightthegoodfightnow]

You write: 'The intention of the founders to have state militias DOES still exist, as it always did since they conceived it. But the militias that they intended to exist were dismantled in 1903. "

What exactly is your point? That the 1903 law is invalid and unconstitutional because it dismantled state militias as originally conceived? If you have a point, you haven't made it with me.

You can spend two hours 'digging up several quotes'. That's your choice. None of it replaces the words of the Constitution. The notion that any one (of dozen Constitutional authors) quotes should trump or even alone clarify what was voted on by everyone is nonsense. By your own words, the militia they wrote of no longer exists. If you are unhappy debating someone whose 'intellectual fortitude' you are unhappy with, my suggestion is you use the ignore button.

Otherwise, you just sound ....... frustrated and it's really your problem.... not mine.
