Obama is in direct violation of the Constitution, and should be charged and impeached along with all those who plotted against the Constitution with him,
Obamama if anyone surely knows what he has done, but has the gall to think he can rewrite our Constitution
Someone get a Sheriff and go arrest him now. and the rest the gang of crooks..

Impeachment is the biggest hurdle. That is the toughest stumbling-block that the out-liners of our constitution did not foresee. Once he is impeached however, anyone in the country has every right, as well as responsibility, to take it to the next step, high treason!
Ummm...Hey sempul, I was wondering if he also stood up to the fed state and city boys when they were confiscating weapons down there during that event or did he take part in that little bit of unconstitutionalism? I also wanted to ask you if you worked for him and what your thoughts were on the confiscations.....Look, I know your a LEO or was it former LEO and i'm not trying to be judgemental I just wanted to hear your side of that and how it affected your views on the constitution...

I would like to add Sheriff Harry Lee of Jefferson Parish of Louisiana to that list. When Hurricane Katrina came in with FEMA (you all know how that turned out) they tried to take over everything in the area. I dont work there but in Tangipahoa Parish. However Harry Lee was very proud also of his office and put up with NO ONE unsurping his authority! Fema came in and took over all of his fuel depots and other precious (at the time) resources claiming they had ultimate authority as they were part of the federal government. He had all his deputies lock and load and march on them. They were forced to retreat or be shot. He met their supervisors later and gave a public announcement that HE was the ultimate authority in that area per the constitution and NO ONE had any authority to take anything from him or his men that they need to uphold the law of the land and assist the people who willfully voted him in. He further advised them that if they needed supplies they could ask or call Bush and have HIM bring it to them. Gotta tell you he was one hell of a man!

I'm not trying to be off-topic with this....I think that it ties in with the OP. I think it's too easy sometimes to pick and choose which of our rights are upheld and when, while others are quietly shunted aside....Thank you

However if he did I can say I 100% supported that. It sucks that some good people had thiers taken but for the most part it was the thugs.
You have to understand how it is down there. Especially during Katrina. Let me be clear that I supported it during Kathina ONLY!!!! Those people are nothing but animals and if they ever did a true documentary down there then that would be the strongest support you could ever get to take away the 2nd amendment.
However the continued taking away of guns that situation has spawned is an absolute outrage. But to answer your question, as much as it pains me to say it as a strong willed gun owner, yes I agreed with them siezing the weapons down there. But let me be clear that that ones that are decent citizens without a rap sheet 2 miles long were able to go back down to the city in the months that followed and retrieve their weapons. Of course thats if they were taken by NOPD and you happened to get the one honest NOPD officer down there. It seems there is a fine line between thug and cop in New Orleans.
But let me be clear that that ones that are decent citizens without a rap sheet 2 miles long were able to go back down to the city in the months that followed and retrieve their weapons.

I'll give you an idea of how bad it was here. Did you know that we deployed gunships (Apaches) and used grenades several times while rescuing people in New Orleans? It was so bad with the gangs trying to use that time to get more terrotority that we couldnt go to some places to rescue the peole that needed it because we were taking fire from fully auto rifles and RPGs. But that (thank GOD) wasnt reported on the news. I have no idea how they hid that but it is a fact. You have no idea what goes on in New Orleans. If you have been to Mardi Gras then you have seen about a tenth of what can happen down there. Hence the reason I NEVER go there.
