"The Constitution is not absolute"

Wanna be dictator just got slapped down.

A federal judge in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has issued a temporary restraining order blocking key parts of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s executive order suspending open and concealed carry across Albuquerque and the surrounding Bernalillo County for at least 30 days.

U.S. District Court Judge David Urias issued the order on Wednesday, blocking the portion of the order that prohibits lawful gun owners from carrying their guns in public for 30 days, ruling that it's not enforceable.

"The violation of a constitutional right, even for minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury," Urias said during the hearing.

We know what amendments are. It's been discussed. The OP is about tyrannical politicians who think they can do whatever they want. They are power-tripping loons who think the law of the land doesn't apply to them. They think they alone get to make the rules.

That governer sure made a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

Classic reference to Route 66 and Bugs Bunny!

She was probably following orders and will be rewarded by the evil left.

Of course!

This is the way they do it.

Well, at least with most of them, some of them end
up dead if they mess up.

I still can't figure out how that order wasn't against the law, and why the sheriff's didn't just walk into her office and take her down to county jail.

The Constitution is not absolute.

Anyone who disagrees needs to read up on the 18th and 21st amendments.

A new amendment can be made to undo a previous one.

Which has already happened.

Our laws should be constantly changing and evolving with us.

"The question Whether one generation of men has a right to bind another, seems never to have been started either on this or our side of the water…

(But) between society and society, or generation and generation there is no municipal obligation, no umpire but the law of nature.

We seem not to have perceived that, by the law of nature, one generation is to another as one independant nation to another…

On similar ground it may be proved that no society can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law.

The earth belongs always to the living generation…

Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19 years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force and not of right."

-Thomas Jefferson

Even the co author of the Declaration of Independence and signer of the Constitution believed that the constitution isn't absolute.

It absolutely is, absolute.

“A Law repugnant to the Constitution is void.”

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

“The US Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals…it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government…it is not a charter for Government power, but a charter of the citizen’s protection against government.”


Only a communist or moron, would argue against the Constitution.

That was an impressive speech by Thomas Jefferson and, to me, shows someone not only with vision but who thinks of upcoming generations' social changes and not just the 'now' or the next five years which most of today's politicians do.

And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.

Context is everything. The taking up of arms now would be for which form of tyranny?

The Bill of Rights are not laws. They are an explanation of every American's inherent rights and specifically prohibits the government from violating them.

Any Amendment that would seek to remove or infringe on them would be inherently Unconstitutional and illegal. Therefore immediately nullified.

The longer Americans can be pacified to avoid this course of action, the less likely any revolt will have the ability to be effective

Americans are pacified?, how when guns per person are at 120.5 per 100 people?

That was not my point, is was comparing 120.5 guns per 100 American citizens and asking where and how does being pacified enter this reality.

oh noooooo, every American owns 1.205 guns lets panic

how does that denote that the population is NOT pacified, because I don't see angry mobs at state houses and congressional buildings

Having grown up in NM and lived 10 years in Albuquerque, I can tell you, it's a unique place, that once had the highest crime rate in the US, back in the Chicago mob days. Heroin. Always has been a trafficking and processessing hub.

Remember the show 'Breaking Bad'???

Pretty much what Albuquerque has always been. Add in liberals from CA, hippies, various NA tribes with long standing disputes, hispanic gangs and bikers. Incidently, Sydney Powell took on the biker gangs of the SW, the Banditos. She put a bunch of them in prison and thru away the keys.

Im pretty sure the cartels have gotten a more firm footing in the years that Ihave been gone. Im going to go watch the eclipse in Roswell. Avoiding Albuquerque.
