Obviously, you were deprived of an education of US history. The Bill of Rights to the Constitution of the US, you will find covers ALL Americans and supersedes state law.

That is how I always describe living in Phoenix, it has the atmosphere of a truck stop.
That is part of the problem I was trying to explain. The only people there are the good ol boys club.
I don't know the laws and it may be an injustice, but the fact is, it is teh locals responsbility to take care of it.
Really, I am quite surprised they still don't hang people from trees.
First of all , leading a woman from a council meeting is not seizing control,
These actions suggest action , but not alarm
Like I said, I have lived in Arizona, and most of their problems are their fault.

Unfortunately, they are within their right to do as they did. I am not saying its right, in fact I am outraged, but the fact remains , they acted within the law. I wrote a rant yesterday over these laws and laws like them, you can view it here... www.abovetopsecret.com... You see the constitutional rights do not apply to the people but to the state. Its the laws we have to fight not the people enforcing them.

Just this weekend, my brother and I were talking about the tinderbox this country was becoming. He doesn't typically listen to country music, but I do, and a song came on........I told him that I loved the song, but I never thought it would get any nationwide play, to my surprise the song went to #1 almost immediately and has stayed at the top of the charts nationwide! My brother listened to the song, and reminded me of a music history class that we both had, where it was proven that the popular music of an era is usually indicative of the upcoming social state. In other words, the music changes before the society changes. It has happened with prohibition, the great wars, the great depression, and the civil rights movement.
So, here is the song, listen to what is extremely popular right now, and see what you think might be in store for our society over the next few years.
Aaron Lewis, (born April 13, 1972), is the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and founding member of the rock group Staind, with whom he has released six studio albums. He has since ventured into country music with his debut solo album, Town Line.

The Supreme Court decided that the suspension of habeas corpus was lawful, but military tribunals did not apply to citizens in states that had upheld the authority of the Constitution and where civilian courts were still operating, and the Constitution of the United States provided for suspension of habeas corpus only if these courts are actually forced closed. In essence, the Court ruled that military tribunals could not try civilians in areas where civil courts were open, even during times of war.
I don't think I need to continue. Perhaps re-reading the Bill of Rights would do you loads of good?
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. en.wikipedia.org...
Freedom of speech and press
Section 6. Every person may freely speak, write, and publish on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right.

5. Right of petition and of assembly
Section 5. The right of petition, and of the people peaceably to assemble for the common good, shall never be abridged.

Actually, I lived in the cesspool of a city known as Tucson, and got the fudge out of there. If you think things are bad in Quartszite try Tucson. It is not the local or State laws that are the problem, they are only built upon the corruption in the law done by the Federal Government. Those must be changed first. Why? Because the States are no longer Nations but territories of the Federal Government. I do not have to live in a cesspool to work on change for that very reason.

And how exactly is the federal government playing into this scenario in small town Arizona?
Now if you want to talk about Navajo water rights or the resort at Lake Powell, then we have a federal discussion.
When I say it is their fault, the mentality, the good ol boys club there, prevents the states from ever moving forward.
The have a long history of trampling over rights.
