You seem proud of yourself. I guess that's what happens when social validation exceeds decency of character.
Mitch;
Is this your post?

You sound nostalgic, Keith. <
This comment refers to some past (actually) oppressive regime, usually referring to the Nazis or occasionally the Stalinist era.
Yes Mitch, I'm nostalgic for the days before empowered idiots, but to compare me to a Stalinist or Nazi is quite asinine on your part. Are you really so narrow-minded that you only see such extremes? I wouldn't be surprised, it's become rather common in empowered idiot circles.
AA, I know what you mean ... it should be socially unacceptable to hold opinions that differ from yours. I'm sure that, given the power, you would make sure that all the best right ideas were universally enforced. I realize that's why this crude movement means so much to you ... it's time for the small and petty to inflict themselves.
I'm so happy that we have so many experts on constitutional law here to educate us. I hadn't realized there were so many constitutional legal experts in the area ... we should consider ourselves blessed.
For such experts to share their depth of insight with us we are truly lucky. In many countries such people would be summarily shot or just disappear.
We also need to appreciate all the local people who have gone out of their way to support these erudite revolutionaries and encourage them to believe that they should be above the law, because some people are just too rich. ... too rich!
Hopefully one day, when they get the power they seek they will cure all sorts of injustice like too tall, too beautiful, too smart, or too fast. Surely they've already made strides against the too educated, bless their souls.
We can all look forward to their world of equality that will be like a freshly mowed suburban lawn, with no blade of grass arrogantly rising too high. The peace of mind and serenity I get from that vision practically brings me to tears.
So join us now to fight the power, seize control, set things right ... we can change the world ... yes we can.

@Mike;
Thank you for your comments. The Constitution, and its interpretation is a very simple document with no subtleties that might be lost on a 9th grader. Anyone can pull any idea out of context an it makes perfect sense and could be fully applied to [your idea here]. I like the idea of people with a rudimentary insight into this important document reminding me what they think, and it's important that you support their tremendous efforts to bring change to a world in which they only have a child's understanding. Kudos to you and your kind for making this grand evolutionary leap ... it brings a smile to my lips.
Erudite indeed, I've seen the signs and banners, and listened to the talk and I have to say, our Founding Fathers would be impressed that such a group willfully expresses themselves in public.
I admire your hope that a future President, rather than a prison recidivist, chronic drug user, or just angry malcontent might be the future of these fine people - I am truly delighted at the prospect at all the potential leadership this group promises.
And for their rights, let this wonderful group decide what and when they are and at whose expense, they have the right to choose how to define their rights and to share their ninth grade education with the masses.
In fact, let's all go to the courthouse and stake out a spot to tell it like it is. No permits should be necessary, no responsibility required ... people got their rights.
Thank you, you've really shed some light on the topic.
