There has been a lot of confusion lately about the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution and what they mean. Since I took a Civics class in high school (and got an A, thank you very much) I thought, as a public service, I’d clear this all up.
Also, God speaks directly to me. Don't you, God? He says, "Yes."
The Supreme Court can also use this as a crib sheet, too.
1st Amendment
Right to say absolutely anything I want without anybody objecting or challenging me. Also I can practice my religion anyway and anywhere I want, but you can't.
2nd Amendment
Right to have any kind of weapon I want and use it on anybody who challenges me…or even just for fun.
3rd Amendment
British soldiers can pound sand. They can’t stay in my house. They can check into a Motel 6. And get off my lawn.
4th Amendment
Hands off my stuff. Unless you're a cop; then help yourself.
5th Amendment
I ain’t sayin’ nuthin'. And if anybody else says nuthin' they must be guilty.
6th Amendment
I ain’t sayin’ nuthin’ until I talk to my lawyer.
7th Amendment
If you say I stole $20, I get to have a trial by jury, which will cost taxpayers millions. You still wanna go there?
8th Amendment
Any punishment the Government imposes on me is cruel and unusual. But on people I don’t like, it’s justice.
9th Amendment
I have no idea what this one means…something about the exercise of my rights should not deny rights to other people. I guess that sounds fair. Unless it violates my rights.
10th Amendment
States rule, not the Federal Government. Unless I don’t like what my State is doing. Then I rule.
Okay. Hope this clears it all up.
