Happy Bill of Rights Day!
Posted by Richard on December 15, 2017
Today is the 226th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights on Dec. 15, 1791, celebrated by freedom-loving Americans as Bill of Rights Day. But as Michael Boldin of the Tenth Amendment Center likes to point out, every day should be Bill of Rights Day.
The US Supreme Court is currently considering a case of huge importance to the Bill of Rights, specifically to the much-neglected Tenth Amendment. Read about it at SCOTUSblog.
With various provisions of the Bill of Rights continually under threat or violated with impunity, this would also be a good time to think about what we can do about that. The aforementioned Tenth Amendment Center provides some advice grounded in the words of Madison and Jefferson. Take a look, and consider making a donation to them today.

You know as well as I do that it isn’t only the tenth amendment that has been neglected but all of them.
People in this country have had NO CIVIL RIGHTS for not only decades, but the better part of a century. Diffidently I point out that 200 MILLION Americans now own guns and between them over 12 TRILLION rounds of ammunition. It is going to come to a boil sooner or later, but probably sooner. When it does, then we will see if the police and armed forces of this country are ready or even willing to fight 200 MILLION people armed with weapons comparable in most cases to the ones they have been issued. When the time comes and it IS COMING, the name Custer is really going to MEAN SOMETHING to these bastards!
