Reply #39: 14th Amendment

[Xicano]

Makes it clear that: "No State shall write or enforce *any* law which shall abridge the *privileges* or *immunities* of citizens of the United States"

Hi Sarah Ibarruri I just wanted to mention that I believe this sentence in the 14th Amendment nullifies any law which ordinarily would be ok for the States to enforce. However, whenever the citizens of the United States form an assembly, enforcing things like "loitering laws" or requiring a permit is in direct contradiction to the 1st Amendment and falls under this sentence in the 14th Amendment. The Constitution itself IS the permit.

I believe the authors and signers of the Constitution considered its language very carefully. And as I read this sentence I notice they chose to use the term "ANY LAW". To me that means exactly what it says - "ANY LAW". Also, I notice they chose to connect that term to "Privileges or Immunities". Immunities? Immunities from what? The way I read it, it means immunity from any law which shall abridge any of the civil rights protected and guaranteed to the citizens of the United States by the Constitution. Like for example: "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

In short. It is my opinion that "federal law trumps state law" with the Constitution being the supreme law of the land.

However, of course that is if we didn't have a Nazi police force working for today's kangaroo courts. As far as who are the likely culprits harassing women. I totally agree with you. Its probably repub psychos. They do after all have a track record of doing unlawful shit for the purpose of discrediting movements they dislike.
