And people around here still seem to not understand why I say voting for Republicans is no better or worse than voting for Democrats, especially on the basis of one party's judicial appointments record over the other. So-called "conservative" Supreme Courts have codified asset forfeiture multiple times.
Go ahead, poke it again. The Constitution is still dead.

It's not dead. It lives and breathes within my heart.
It will never pass away as long as we are willing to fight for it.

My best-ever, life-long friend who died 20+ years ago is still alive in my heart, but that's hardly a function of him being alive. That's simply a function of my own personal way of dealing with death. Same for my only sister, mother, grandmother and all the cousins, aunts and uncles who have moved on from this life. My posts should ring clear as a bell that I still hold true to constitutional precepts, concepts and axioms as well, but that's true not because of any objective sign of life that I can point to, but because whether or not such objective signs exist, or ever reawakens from the comatose state that I have obviously mistaken for actual death, I will remain a Patriot to the Founders' Constitution until the day I die.
While I don't question your own willingness or depth of understanding about what "fighting for it" actually means, I do think in general that many "freedom" fighters would be fighting to maintain an already-usurped Constitution's status quo rather than the Founders' Constitution. The topic of this thread serves to at least support my assertion in that regard, as how on Earth could a Supreme Court that truly revered, supported, defended, and viewed themselves as subservient to it, ever codify asset forfeiture with nothing but suspicion on the part of street cops substituting for "due process?" Even more puzzling is the question of how it could be tolerated by a once free, once great, and once-revolutionary people if they understood the importance of keeping the Founders' Constitution alive? And how many Americans do you know who strongly believe as I do that members of the SCOTUS who make such rulings are just as much traitors as any individual ever convicted of the death-penalty-level offense for those, as well as a plethora of other unconstitutional rulings? I hear WAY more of even the most militant of liberty movement people say things like, "Well, the SCOTUS already ruled on that, and that's just the way it is." Abortion, Patriot Act, NDAA, the hundreds of Commerce Clause violations that have centralized the federal government's powers and authorities beyond any semblance of recognition of what the Framers intended for us are all just a small sampling of the usurpations that, either individually or combined, have still not gone far enough to inspire fighting to restore the Founders' Constitution.
I guess I'm rambling, but I could go on and on without being redundant about precepts of the Constitution that have shown no signs of life for over a century. It would probably be a shorter list if you gave examples of a blip on an EKG ribbon. All I see is a flat-line. Show me some inarguable blips demonstrating life.

After I was found not guilty at my trial, of pointing a weapon at a person. I found getting my handgun back from the police property room,a real tough job. It took trips to the Court house to ask for it from the District Attorney,then I had to get a homicide detective to sign off it was not used in any murders. Then it took four (4) 24 mile round trips to the property room,first I was told to get first homicide detective to sign off, had to go to Police Dept. he was not their off sick took two weeks and many phone calls to get it signed off. Then on Friday my second property room trip,was told they were closed on Fridays to the public. Went back on Monday my third property room trip,got my handgun but they did not have it's Mag. said there was none,showed them my paper work showing gun+Mag+Ammo. they had it as a CLIP. got Mag. But they said can't have Gun and Ammo. on same day. Asked if I wanted my Ammo. destroyed? I said NO will come back the next day,went back got my Ammo. Think them rotten stealing bums tried to make it tough to get my stuff returned? What a bummer wonder why people don't trust the cops?
