Just a little something about the Constitution that Roberts and Scalia are missing...
Uh...doesn't the Bill of Rights say that we hold these truths to be self evident that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL? What part of "All men" are Roberts and Scalia missing? I don't see where it says "All rich white men" or "All men who voted for George Bush" or "All Christian men." It just says "all men are created equal." So why do they see the rights of Guantanamo detainees to be contrary to that statement? Seems pretty clear to me.
That is, unless you're going to go totally literal on me and focus on the word "men." But that's for another post.
The comment's from the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution, but it's reasonable to assume Pedro Picasso didn't know that.

1. They represent what exactly is wrong with the Republicans....
they are incapable of representing all Americans.
They are exactly what this election is about, the US cannot afford any more like them.

3. Who voted how?
I know Scalia dissented, but who else voted how?
The above's the whole bonfire on Skins's island.

Indeed all men are created equal. It is what they do after the creation which dictates how they should be treated. I can honestly say I believe every man has a right to be born. That is more than the DUmmies can claim.
-
Pedro, that all men are created equal doesn't have anything to do with whether or not someone who's not even a citizen of the USA and doing things on foreign soil has Constitutional rights, you dolt. If what you claim is the case, get a citizen from Sweden, have them commit a drug crime in Thailand, and then you represent him before the judge and try to claim he has rights under the US Constitution. Hopefully they'd string you up, too.

Man, that doesn't even begin to describe it.
Here, we have some guy on the razor's edge of half a century old, well-educated, from the country club set, and he can't tell what's in one important document, and what's in another important document?
Since when does the U.S. Supreme Court, for example, base decisions on the Declaration of Independence?
Damn.
Damn again.
And this clown is allowed to vote.
You know, I'll bet that at least half the primitives, despite that the primitives don't know excresence about anything, know more about the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Damn a third time.
This guy is so dense he makes a rock seem porous.

Another truth that is self evident is the vast magnitude of the DUmmies ignorance. :-)
-
Oh my.
Apparently a primitive lurks over here.

7. Actually that would be the Declaration of Independence blahblahblah.....
Which of course is okay; we wish them to be illuminated and enlightened.
-
Do they revel in their ignorance or what?
-
They must use special glasses to read our Founding Father's words and documents. They find the strangest things in the strangest places!
I think they made a movie about that called National Treasure :-)

Yep, like a right to abortion, universal health care, and freedom from all mention of God. :whatever:
