Not allow Atheists to graduate from HS? GOP says yes!

[The United Soviet Socialist Republic]

I did not say that. I said assuming I am a US citizen. I have no comment as to whether or not I am currently one.

Well, if you were a US citizen, then why aren't you going to the Supreme Court and appealing their ruling?

"Uphold the Constitution" is such a vague thing to ask of a high school graduate to begin with. "Alright, I took an oath...I guess it's beholden on me to...not quarter soldiers in peacetime, I guess. Does this mean that my older brother can't crash at our house between deployments? And provide representation for Washington D.C...not sure how I'm supposed to do that..."

I mean, what does that even mean? I know that TEA Party cats interpret it to mean 'vote for policies I like', but outside of that...what?

Make it easier for them to be drafted to the military? I don't even know.

I might have assuming I was a US citizen.

So we do not have any of these rights?

Neither are these rights:
The right to interstate travel
The right to intrastate travel
The right to privacy (which includes within it a set of rights) including:
a. The right to marriage
b. The right to procreation
c. The right for a women to choose to have an abortion before fetal viability
d. The right to private education (homeschooling one's children)
e. The right to contraception (the right to use contraceptive devices)
f. The right of family relations (the right of related persons to live together)

The Constitution probably would allow some, but not all.

Then you admit that rights that are not explicitly given can be protected.

Which means that the Supreme Court decides these things.

Which means that you're wrong.

[The United Soviet Socialist Republic]

This would violate the First Amendment, right?

No.

Then why not?

yet none are explicitly mentioned.

therefore, we can conclude that rights not explicitly mentioned in the constitution still come under the constitution.

[Wisconsin9]

This would violate the First Amendment, right?

No.

Yes.

[Ruridova]

This would violate the First Amendment, right?

No.

So.... they're legally allowed to fuck up people's lives because they used their rights?


That's damn scary.

[Ordya]

This would violate the First Amendment, right?

Yes.

Assuming I was an American.

To get rid of the worst one of them all I say it would be justified to ditch all of them.

No.

The fuck's wrong with you?

there's a small problem with that. no-one cares what you think.

Same thing with you.

No.

A primer

[Kamchastkia]

You want an education? Well in order to have proof that you have in education you have to say

"SO HEYULP MEH GAWWWWWD" I'd say it in the most sarcastic fucking way possible, before renouncing my citizenship and emigrating

[The UK in Exile]

Same thing with you.

it doesn't matter because they agree with me.

[Benomia]

Actually, the gov doesn't care what any of us think.

[Oneracon]

You do realise that without a constitution, the US would basically cease to exist.

[Kamchastkia]

As long as they get their millions each year, what should they care?

It has one already.

That's damn scary.

USSR's wrong, it would technically violate the First Amendment, but even if it didn't, there's no point in making people say an oath that in the end doesn't mean anything.

[Kamchastkia]

You do realise that with a constitution, the US would basically cease to exist.

It has one already.

Not that it follows it (indefinite detention, killing people (Americans included) with drones without due process, etc.).

Sorry, that was a typo.

I was going to bring up the selective service thing we had to do when we turned 18, but then I thought, "You know what? I don't remember ever doing that..." I might have, I just seriously can't remember if I did or not...weird.

I am saying the Constitution should be upheld litteratly.

I'll have to ask my best friend, since he's under the Selective Services Act. Being female, I don't fall under that law. But if I remember right, men between the ages of 18-26 have to register in order to get federal financial aid.
