The city stands to lose two of its most highly valued rights. [More]The right to ignore the Constitution, where it says "states" get representatives?
And the right to ignore the Bill of Rights, where it says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"?
Those highly valued rights?
Cities don't have rights.
ReplyDeleteRights belong to individuals.
Government can't own them, grant them, or take them away.
bingo. cities don't have rights. a city is a legal fiction, like any other corporation. the word used to mean "the people who live over here." today it means something entirely different; a management structure, a ghost in the machine. those people have rights. their servant does not.
ReplyDelete"We do not see how Democrats, … , can leave the city powerless to protect itself.” Ms Norton doesn’t seem to be concerned about the right of the people who live and work in D.C. to protect themselves.
ReplyDeleteLike Jon said - the word “city” doesn’t mean what it used to mean.
