ACLU Creates Map of US "Constitution-Free Zone"
trackpick points out a recent ACLU initiative to publicize a recent expansion of authority claimed by the Border Patrol to stop and search individuals up to 100 miles from any US border. They have created a map of what they call the US Constitution-Free Zone. "Using data provided by the US Census Bureau, the ACLU has determined that nearly 2/3 of the entire US population (197.4 million people) live within 100 miles of the US land and coastal borders. The government is assuming extraordinary powers to stop and search individuals within this zone. This is not just about the border: This 'Constitution-Free Zone' includes most of the nation's largest metropolitan areas.'"
I like that Michigan is one of the few elite states that is entirely within the constitution free zone. WOOO go us!
You don't need to tell me that Washington D.C. is within 100 miles of the coast to prove it's a Constitution-Free Zone.

The large interior part looks just like Palin's map of "Real America".
The constitution applies in the following zones:

What, the sheep herd mentality or the misplaced and missing commas?
that are not the real America. Only in pro-America America does the Constitution apply. The rest of America hates America.
Why would I want a map of Canada?
And this post, my dear friends, exemplifies why you should always preview your posts before posting them. Which I did not.
Bering arms? Quick, everyone vote for McCain/Palin!
All intents and purposes. Not intensive purposes.
Rewriting history again? Everybody knows it was Mel Gibson who delivered the victory to the colonial militias by using guerrilla warfare.
OMG, I just discovered that Highway Patrol Officers can make arrests and enforce the law even when they are not on a highway! Call the ACLU!
You forgot Poland.

Interesting. But probably won't happen again any time soon. In any case, it was a small incident and still it required WWII-hardened soldiers to make their stand.
Oh, and if USA turns Nazi now then a significant part of NRA will become guards in concentration camps.
...then yes rounding up most of the nation would create a very formatible army.
Would said army use NTFS or FAT32?
Just once I'd like someone to call me 'Sir' without adding 'You're making a scene.'
"[Aren't] there some real questions of merit over whether this amendment was fully or correctly (according to the law) ratified properly?"
Sure there are questions. The answers are "no, the Amendment is valid and stands."

It would seem to me that women who get abortions are just supporting the independent lifestyle of the fetus. In fact, these are women who love the constitution and their fetus so much, they're willing to let them live outside their womb ASAP.
Wait, what's that? The fetus is just laying there and isn't even trying to survive on it's own like a homeless piece o' crap? Kill it. I hate the homeless.
