Article of Amendment the 13th -
"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."
According to the 13th Amendment a man cannot be incarcerated unless he has been convicted of a crime. Have Cliven Bundy and his sons, been convicted of a crime? Let's take a look at what has transpired.
- They have been accused of crimes, but have not been convicted.
- They have been held against their will and been denied bail.
- They have endured cruel and unusual punishment and
- They have been both mentally and physically abused.
Why has the Supreme Court not stepped forward and demanded their release? This is just another example of the Supreme Court Justices failing to honor their Oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
The Supreme Court ruled in the Dred Scott case that the defendant was not a human being and that he had no rights. The Supreme Court ruled that he was property; just like a horse or a cow.
IMHO, collectively, the Justices on the Supreme Court are dumber than a box or rocks. This is a perfect example of why this website and others like it, not only exist, but are increasing in number.

Or just congenitally faithless to the Constitution and their oaths to uphold it. Nothing new in any case...
They are not dumb. They are owned. The Constitution they have taken an oath to is nothing more than a set of corporate bylaws to be looked on with derision whenever an event runs counter to the PTB's agenda.
