  • I wonder why the government does not want us to know about the Preamble to the Bill of Rights?

  • It is easy to prove that the gov has an official policy of imposing 14th amendment citizenship on everyone.

    Why is that important?

    All the courts that have addressed the rights of such people have stated very clearly that the 14th Does Not incorporate any of the fed bill of rights.  14th subjects are under a completely different system of law than what was created for the states.
