NO ABSOLUTES?

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 12, 2021

         THE MOST FRIGHTENING WORDS SPOKEN BY PRESIDENT BIDEN LAST WEEK WHEN HE ISSUED EXECUTIVE ORDERS SEEKING TO CONTROL SO-CALLED “GHOST GUNS” WERE LESS ABOUT THE GUNS THAN WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION. HE SAID “NO AMENDMENT IS ABSOLUTE” AND CITED “CRYING FIRE IN A CROWDED THEATER” WHEN THERE IS NO FIRE AS AN EXAMPLE.

         THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF LIBERAL THINKING. TAKE AN EXTREME – IN THIS CASE FREE SPEECH – AND PERVERT IT TO UNDERMINE ITS PRESERVATION. THE LEFT DOES THE SAME WITH OTHER PARTS OF THE CONSTITUTION, BECAUSE IT BELIEVES LIBERAL JUDGES OUGHT TO WRITE THE LAW AND THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ITSELF.

         WHAT ABOUT UNREASOBALE SEARCH AND SEIZURE? IS THAT NOT AN ABSOLUTE? THEN THERE’S THE RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE AND PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES. RIGHT NOW, ONE CAN’T GET NEAR THE CAPITOL BECAUSE OF A FENCE, BUT THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS BREAK THE LAW TO ENTER THE COUNTRY WHERE THEY GET BENEFITS, WITH MORE TO COME.

         THE PRESIDENTIAL OATH COMMITS HIM TO PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITION. APPARENTLY, BIDEN BELIEVES THAT IS NOT AN ABSOLUTE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
