Earlier today Joe Biden raised some eyebrows when he said “no amendment to the constitution is absolute.” The first ten amendments to the constitution are commonly known as “The Bill of Rights.”
The occupant of the oval office, and head of the executive branch, saying the Bill of Rights is not absolute, should be challenged immediately to qualify that statement.
.
As a reminder:
♦ Amendment 1
– Freedom of Religion, Speech, and the Press
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
♦ Amendment 2
– The Right to Bear Arms
A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
♦ Amendment 3
– The Housing of Soldiers
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.
♦ Amendment 4
– Protection from Unreasonable Searches and Seizures
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.
♦ Amendment 5
– Protection of Rights to Life, Liberty, and Property
No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.
♦ Amendment 6
– Rights of Accused Persons in Criminal Cases
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor; and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
♦ Amendment 7
– Rights in Civil Cases
In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of the common law.
♦ Amendment 8
– Excessive Bail, Fines, and Punishments Forbidden
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
♦ Amendment 9
– Other Rights Kept by the People
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
♦ Amendment 10
– Undelegated Powers Kept by the States and the People
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

Mariclaire81, you have not been singled out for punishment! Sometimes mistakes are made around here.
As an America-Hating Leftist…. I imagine he truly believes this asinine comment……
joe biden said
black people do not have an absolute right to be free of slavery,
black people do not have an absolute right to vote
women do not have an absolute right to vote
shall we continue
very good. expand the possible damage this SOB can do.
Ultimate Expansion:
22nd Amendment
Section 1 Clause 1
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,
Remember that when Biden speaks, it is Obama talking….through ‘pen and phone’
Joe Biden speaks with Obama’s forked tongue, Kemosabe.
Hey, leave our Native brothers out of this. There must be a Mooslim style saying that fits but I’ll be damned if I know one.
that game doesnt work for us…
their words are direct physical actions and obstables and BLOCK or weapons against us.
our words are disregarded – skipped by – passed ovr – never acknowledge. NO IMPACT
Speaking of founding documents, when truth is relative, how is one going to hold certain truths to exist and to be self-evident.
relativity has everything to do with physics, and nothing to do with ethics. a. einstein

or
the report of a gun
I hope this helps explain in simple terms.
I am proposing that protests begin marching on DC sooner than later.
with huge powerful sound machines.
repeating over and over and over.
the first 10 amendments to the constitution.
he’s stiff, but I think he can still hear a little bit.
at volume 11, we WILL wake up the dead.
Truth is truth. People can try to spin it, rationalize about it, cover it up, lie about it, put lipstick on it, whatever, but it is not relative, it is always the truth whether you want to accept it or not. Liars and deceivers will do anything to the truth to get people to believe them which is mostly tell lies, big lies, so many times in so many ways that people have no trouble believing them even though at some point their instincts told them something didn’t quite smell right. But they ignored that instinct and went right along with the program because it was easier, safer, and because everyone else was doing it.
When is someone going to stop this idiot liar?
So was his oath of office not absolute? Especially things like defending against enemies foreign and domestic?
His mental capacity when he was installed did not provide for him to take any oath “without mental reservation”.
Gun Owners of America is the cage fighting king of defending our gun rights.
They got ATF’s bump stock ban overturned. And they’re already breathing fire about this newest crap from China Joe. If every gun owner gave just $1, GOA would have $100 million to tie these -ssholes down forever. Go here and donate what you can. $5, $10, $25 or more. Every cent helps us fight this war against these tyrannical b-st-rds.

I just now donated to GOA. Thank you for the link. Yes, we must “…fight this war against these tyrannical b-st-rds.” Thanks for the link Boots.
I’m in!! Thank you!!
I donate to the NRA, since they have been in this fight for 140 years now.
to be fair, both parties have abused the bill of rights: ie ‘the patriot act’
though the Democrats have taken it to a whole new level.
The Democrat Parties copy of the Constitution now has an asterick at the bottom stating: *Unless Covid
“The Bill Of Rights is not absolute ” Translation: “My CCP Masters dont like this talk about rights. It makes them uncomfortable. I dont like it either….that’s what they told me to think. Know what else I think? I think the U.S. dollar should no longer be the world’s reserve currency that’s what. We should be more like Venezuela that’s what I think. Thank you and good night.”
That’s funny–my Bill of Rights says Joe Biden is not absolute.
my Bible says that.
Valerie Jarrett told me so. Barrack was standing right next to her shaking his head..
Yes, and just where has that Queen of the Borg been hiding? You know she’s there pulling the strings, in Barry’s third term.
Is that Rachel Levine doing the sign language? ??
Zit’s brother.
Scrolling over the amendments, it is shocking to realize how much the BOR has been attacked already. There are numerous and terrible examples of gross violations that immediately comes to mind. The erosion isn’t even incremental anymore. Restoration is desperately required.
That is 100% Obama speaking.
Exactly, Madame, exactly!
Yes it is.
This pedo is truly evil.
He is not a president. He is a usurper and a dictator. we do not have a constitution. We have a mob boss, and a crime syndicate running this country. I would say “our country”, but it no longer belongs to us. It belongs to Bezos, Zuckerberg, The Clintons, The Obamas, the Supreme Court, The Congress, The FBI, the CIA and anyone who works for the Government. But we are sadly, no longer a free people.
Only a matter of time before this is made clear to us by executive order.
Do believe that this act is just the tip of the iceberg of what the Democrats have been doing through Biden to Destroy America and their hate for Americans.
Trulu third world banana repub.
Ran into a Biden voter who exclaimed over Russia being ruled by oligarchs
I said “yeah, just like us”
punch them in the face
we do not have a constitution. We have a mob boss, and a crime syndicate running this country.

TRUE
None of my guns have ever shot anybody.
In fact, I’d freak the %#$& out if one of my guns jumped out of the safe, loaded a mag, racked itself and started blowing people away.
NOW THAT would get me to reconsider “shall not be infringed”
That would admittedly be mildly disturbing.
Yet, I sense potential here . . .
But you know what I’m talking about, it’s on the thing!
If the Bill of Rights is not absolute, then the compact between We the People and the government is null and void.
If the Bill of Rights is not absolute, then the compact between We the People and the government is null and void.

Should be on a T-shirt with Biden’s, Harris’, Obama’s face underneath.
If that is the rule, then the only rule that applies is the one that can be enforced by force. Want my guns, come and take them!
At this point, I don’t give one flying flip what our federal government says or does.
The federal government has made itself 100% illegitimate since JoeBama was illegally installed as Head Puppet.
The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights belong to me personally, as it does every citizen of this country.
My rights will not be infringed. End. Period. Dot.
Constitutional Carry ensures it. If you’re not living in a Constitutional Carry state, you should move, in my opinion. Until the election cheating is thoroughly stamped out in this country and we know the true vote, we must prepare to defend ourselves, our homes, our families, and our communities.
wasnt the Bill of Rights – a list of restrictions on the government?
wasnt the Bill of Rights – a list of restrictions on the government?
——
This also should be on a T-shirt with Biden’s, Harris’, and Obama’s face under it.
Absolutely, Whiteboard.
So just who is it that “grants” rights for Constitutional Carry? I would think that since the 2A does not speak to that, there is no provision for any kind of licensing necessary for an American Citizen of good standing, i.e. not a convicted felon. I tried to get one once upon a time in crazy CA, and was denied for no good reason. They control that like the Queens jewels. I call BS.
You are exactly right, Madame Peasant. We the People must never give up and never bow to evil.
Many odd things he blurts out are reiterations of what he has heard spoken among his handlers. The feeble minded tend to do that.
when they tell you something
believe it!
the bill of rights is now circling the bowl !
Sorry to see Amendments 13, 14, 15 go.
Puff!
Bye Bye Birdies.
Seems he can’t even get the name of his new department right. Not one but several times.
Biden is such an embarrassment
https://youtu.be/GkpD2QseqF0
kinthenorthwest: AFT. That would be Alcohol, Fuggeddaboutit and Toothpicks.
Apparently, Joe O’Biden suffers from more than just Joe-Mentia and Old-Timers.
Sounds like he’s got a substantial case of Dick-Licksia also.
Totally makes sense that A.F.T. would come out of his mouth.
ALWAYS. FRESH. TURDS.
Not to mention…
ABSOLUTELY. F***ING. TREASON.
Dick-Licksia is a very serious condition.
Well I have to admit, the constitution is outdated, not in line with the trendy Marxism we have going on. It’s either or.
“You know the thing…”
https://rumble.com/ve5x23-biden-tries-to-quote-the-declaration-of-independence-and-forgets-you-know-t.html
Sorry to do an edit on you Caleb, but it works a lot better with a slight pause when written “You know, the thing.”
Yes it does.
Okay so we can call our senators and congressman. Maybe they’ll respond. Just saw a guy on Tucker. His name is Colion Noir. Maybe if we reach out to him and find out who we can call donate to or what organization to join. We can leave it to God but God also gave us agency. We need to use it now not lay down or roll over. Let’s get Marjorie Taylor Greene on it and start a coalition. Together we win – there are more of us after all.
It is fair to say he is violating his oath of office to “protect, preserve and defend The Constitution”.
By his own words, he states that abolition of slavery is “no absolute”. (Among other problems)
13th Amendment, ratified 1865: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
nothing matters if nothing will be done to stop him.
if he can manage his tresspassess – he can slow walk his hand right up our leg …
That right there is the problem. So far, no one has lost a hand in all the corruption that has been going on in Kings & Queens. If he wants to try to slow walk his hand up this man’s leg, he will be losing that hand PDQ! And I will grind that sucker up so it can’t be reattached!
We know the Socialist Dems are just Cherry-picking here because they are focused on the 2A. But, that should give us all pause to consider that it does mean that all the items in the Bill of Rights “ARE” on the table!
I’ve always said one of our greatest enemies is the press. If they possessed any integrity they would immediately be all over this and calling him out. But as we know, they do the opposite and cover for him and his comrades, which is why they’ve reached the point where they can bravely and proudly pronounce their authentic beliefs and disdain for all things American. There are never any serious challenges let alone consequences for anything they say or do. Yet the imbeciles who support this faux president were so deeply offended by one man’s tweets refuting the lies….every….single….day!
I pray every day for God to save us from this evil strangling our country asap.
The media is Pravda now. Don’t read them, don’t watch them ….don’t fund them. Use alternative sites like TCTH.
Me either. CTH is my one stop news source. The other few reliable sources Sundance covers and gives credit to right here anyway. Plus I find many commenters also provide good info. Love the CTH because I can trust it.
At this point unless God intervenes we cannot save the country we have too many fools known as citizens that are really communist.
The Bill of Rights is the iteration of the absolute rights of the individual. A Corporatist/Fascist does not recognize any limitations on the rights of the State (nothing outside the State, nothing against the State).
When Obama was President, the editor of Time Magazine, Joe Klein, said criticizing him was sedition. Ultra-nationalism is due to come roaring back. Prepare.
There is, in the case of this demented person, a distinct advantage for those who perhaps have been refusing to believe how bad it is: with the normal inhibitions re thought and speech evaporating, he goes ahead and actually says what he thinks. Perhaps more people will believe what he says about his intentions now?
No one should be surprised that this is what he actually thinks of the Bill of Rights.
He was reading a large teleprompter. He has no idea what he is saying.
I disagree. I think his dementia is overplayed as a way to excuse him from accountability.
No, I disagree. That man has lost it and is being used by others. In fact, I have seen photos that have given me reason to suspect that he has doubles being used when he is not well and is kept out of sight. Look at photos that show his chin. Very suspicious how it changes in various pictures.
President says the Constitution is optional. And the media says …. nothing. Doesn’t even question the statement.
The media is the enemy….,they have no intention of reporting truth.
………and, and, and Biden is NOT President!
Don’t expect the Republicans to save you and the Republic. The GOP is a fake opposition party.
In fairness, women’s suffrage was a terrible idea. The country has gone down hill ever since. The first election they could vote, 1920, they voted in Prohibition. Do you need further examples?
“Feelings, nothing more than feelings!” Who did that song?
the only immutable right joe malarkey has going for him…
is the endless supply of flavored pudding pops before each of the mandatory 4-6 naps per day.
the president has rights…jill demands.
give the pudding pops to joe… right now.
we will not stand for this kind of racisism.
joe is not above the law and he is not below the law.
treat him just like you would anyone else.
how dare you withhold the pudding pops…
how dare you.
he DESERVES some simple basic kindness.
don’t let him suffer.
(meanwhile joe is being fitted for a bite and bark collar….the blame on the dog has gone too far!)
The really sad part is how many American heads did this fly over? There was a time when a president would easily be impeached for saying something like that.
twice impeached, congress has decided it’s a weapon now, and only that.
to which I respond.
every single citizen needs to get letters signed in masse to each state attorney general:
clear the way for recall to congressional senators OR ELSE!
every single citizen to get letters signed in masse to each state legislator:
IMPORTANT: I am working with several attorneys and two state attorney generals to provide the blue ribbon cut and paste petition and the legal provision EACH state can follow and pass for the RECALL OF A CONGRESSIONAL SENATOR.
We MUST DO THIS.
It really is the single issue of most crucial strategic importance.
we will have to eat the elephant one bit at a time, one state at a time, over a long period of time.
this is the mission.
I will announce with the cooperation of some NEW TECHNOLOGIES that will be available to you very soon.
This is what it takes.
You will know what to do.
stage 3 advances.
more and more people are joining into a majority to dissent against a corrupt state.
the gap narrows
stay frosty
be unafraid
God Bless America
clear the way for recall to congressional senators OR ELSE!
Well….to play devil’s advocate…he is actually just stating the obvious state of the nation – most of those rights have been abridged by the State multiple times without pushback by the courts.
Laws have been passed that create exceptions to every one of those “rights.” Many will argue that those laws are unconstitutional and I agree with most of those arguments, but the fact remains that the Amendments have been softened up by a century-and-a-half of court decisions.
You all know some those laws pretty well. Such as…you cannot legally own an operating fully functional military tank (yet…it’s an “arms”). You cannot legally own a weapon capable of automatic fire without having a special license (but it’s an “arms”.) And so on.
You cannot falsely yell Fire in a theater without serious repercussions if anyone is injured in the ensuing panic. But that would be free speech. You cannot call outright for the assassination of anyone especially a government leader. But that would be free speech..
I am sure others can provide examples of laws that have abridged all of the Amendments known as the Bill of Rights.
And of course JoeBama intends to ramp up their infringement of our Constitutional rights as has already been done over the past two decades.
We just cannot seem to elect Senate who will jointly approve a SCOTUS in which the sitting majority is dedicated to preserving our rights…with prejudice.
It says “We the people”
Not. We the corporations.
Not. We the Marxists.
Not We the oligarchs.
Not. We the People and the corporations etc.
Only. “We the people”
proposing a new amendment
congress shall make no joe
That doesn’t bind China.
SD, as noted in an earlier post today, Obama and team is directing Biden on what to say and do. A tenet of Alinsky is to denigrate the opposition. I know you use Jobama in some cases, but maybe going forward, simply ignore Biden and just call it what it is. Barack Obama said the Bill of Rights is not Absolute. Just ignore the middle man/ventriloquist dummy as if he does not exist.
Joke is the puppet, Zero is but one of his strings, there are many levels of puppeteers, and we’ve never had a more vital mess to unravel.
That works for those of us who follow things. We get it. I mentioned this to another person- they literally said that Obama was amazing and that Joe would do well to have calls with him.
Of course, I live in CT. So, many here have their head so far up their own elitist ass. Some people I am acquainted with forget I’m not a New Englander, I migrated here after the military since this is where work brought me. I may hold a white collar job and have degrees and stuff but I am pure Youngstown Ohio. Son of a steel worker. Grandson to two steel workers. Then due to Biden and his cronies in the 80’s I watched them all lose jobs, mills close down, poverty hit…drugs…which caused my parents to divorce. My mom the addict, as overcame by her demons and fell further down the hole- abusing me, my brother, my sister. Neglect. I had to steal food to eat. I don’t regret it. Although at times I still feel quilt.
I watched my dad struggle to live the meager life he lives for over 40 years now.
These NE yuppies don’t understand men like me…..I may wear suit for work at times, but my knuckles are still dirty , my values are still those of where I came from…….
I told my wife this morning- I never really hated anyone before but I hate Biden, Obama, and those who align with their thinking including those we call friends.
The occupant of the White House, should be challenged immediately, certainly makes sense. But how does one challenge a vegetable?
when joe biden is briefed on the danger weapon, this is the one he thinks about
Dude, that thing doesn’t even have a chainsaw bayonet!
we’re 2 weeks out from the mRNA vaccine zombie horde.
I’ve been practicing my molly hatchet inspired chained and spiked maul bayonet.
Might want to think about a zombie catcher for your truck.
No longer a watcher of any of the nightly news shows – are there any politicians, lawyers, judges, media pundits actively, aggressively opposing this usurpation of our Constitution, have articles of impeachment been filed yet for violating his oath of office to preserve, defend and protect the Constitution?
Links would be appreciated to any reliable news of fighting this usurpation of our nation’s Constitution; I wish whatever media outlet P45 is working on was up and running.
Including the context:
“No amendment, no amendment to the Constitution is absolute,” he said. “You can’t yell ‘fire’ in a crowded movie theater — recall a freedom of speech. From the very beginning, you couldn’t own any weapon you wanted to own. From the very beginning that the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren’t allowed to have weapons.””
The first evident strawman came up recently concerning what Trump said at theJanuary 6th event:
https://www.foxnews.com/media/lemon-cuomo-clash-over-whether-you-can-yell-fire-in-crowded-theater
“Dershowitz wrote that Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes used the flawed analogy when he said, “The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater, and causing a panic. It does not even protect a man from an injunction against uttering words that may have all the effect of force.”
“Dershowitz wrote that analogies are, “by their nature, matters of degree. Some are closer to the core example than others. But any attempt to analogize political ideas in a pamphlet, ugly parody in a magazine, offensive movies in a theater, controversial newspaper articles, or any of the other expressions and actions cataloged above to the very different act of shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater is either self-deceptive or self-serving.””
As far as the second one, where was the federal restriction on keeping and bearing arms? Even the Wikipedia page in gun laws basically begins in 1934, which apparently played on the gangster panic in the headlines:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_law_in_the_United_States
States had some regulations as far as concealment, often coupled with affirmation of overall gun bearing rights:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_concealed_carry_in_the_U.S.
Even some of the court cases contending that the second amendment was only a collective common defense application were evidently sparse and occurring well into the 19th century, which seems at odds with the “from the very beginning” claim.
I remember the first time I heard the Constitution described as “a living document”.
I think I was 12.
That confused the heck out of me then.
And scares the heck out of me now.
If it was ever a living document, it’s dying now.
Christian patriots are the most dangerous of all people to short bus Joe and his ilk . We realize our rights come from the Almighty and not the gubmint .
Well, that all seems to be straight forward enough. So why does the FBI get to violate any Amendment they want as part of any investigation they carry out. People are in jail for exercising their First Amendment rights, while others go free for violating their First Amendment rights. Same goes for all of our other rights. The plot appears to be sickening. Eh?
Have you ever been poked with a finger inessentially until you make a defensive measure to make it stop?
Welcome to the new illegal administration.
You’ve met my little brother then?
The Statist left actually can’t believe they’re getting away with it.
The mass of sheep are as supine as the left always hoped.
The next time Biden says what he thinks, just remind yourself that it’s just a diapered vegetable desperately trying to read a giant teleprompter. And the fraud marches on…
