What Part of "No Law"

What part of “NO LAW” regarding freedom of the press” don’t they understand? That’s what the Constitution says; but in this world where the PRESIDENT “gets around the Constitution” every day, they think they can violate it at will. “Citizen journalists are under attack by Chuck Schumer, Lindsey Graham, and other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The dynamic duo of progressivism has attached an amendment to Senate Bill 987, which would give the Department of Justice power to determine who qualifies for protection as a journalist under the First Amendment. Currently, bloggers cannot be compelled to reveal their sources or turn over materials that they have used in their investigations. The proposed Schumer-Graham Amendment would empower the federal government to unilaterally decide who is and who is not a journalist. If granted this power, federal officials could suspend First Amendment protection by changing the definition of “journalists” to fit their agenda.” A law “redefining” just what IS a “journalist” IS a “law REGARDING freedom of the press” and is an obvious VIOLATION of the Constitution. People who PROPOSE laws that obviously violate the Constitution ought to be JAILED. (The Right Planet)

I completely agree. For that matter, any president who would even bring up the subject of gun control should be jailed as that is a Constitutionally protected right. I just cannot believe we are letting obama do as he damned well pleases. He is destroying this Republic!

Anon: The Founders made a BIG mistake when they provided NO punishment for politicians who violated the Constitution or even proposed things that violated it beyond the laws so made being declared unconstitutional and not being enforced. Another mistake was allowing such laws to be ENFORCED until somebody has enough money or enough gonads to oppose it.
