Who speaks to defend the Third Amendment?

[ajacobson]

We hear lots of blah blah blah about the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, but what about the Third Amendment? Now that's an amemdment that speaks to all Americans: punk-ass kids and geezers, Beemer-drivin' lawtalking guys and Joe Six-Pack, ladies and non-ladies.

Are the presidential candidates discussing the Third Amendment? No, they don't have the 'nads to discuss that hot potato.

1. I DO!

And millions of others support the right not to be forced to house soldiers.

Things really sucked before the Third Amendment. Imagine having a half dozen smelly redcoats raiding your refrigerator and leaving the toilet seat up!

6. With my luck

I'd end up with Pfc. England and her pals, constantly pointing at my whang.

8. LOL

"Imagine having a half dozen smelly redcoats raiding your refrigerator and leaving the toilet seat up!"

Doesn't sound much different than a visit from some of my freeper in-laws.

2. Most people probably don't know what the 3rd is!

Myself, I let soldiers stay all the time! j/k

3. Here it is

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

7. It's that "manner prescribed by law" part that's scary...

4. Are soldiers living in your house?

Do they at least do the dishes from time to time?

5. LOL, they better be mowing the lawn right now!

9. What about sailors?

The constitution doesn't say anything about sailors. Do we have to house the navy? <hee hee> My husband was in the navy. Pretty funny having a New Mexican in the navy, but he never served on a boat. He did air traffic control in Guam in the late 60s. :hippie:
