Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2226485 ban him! /sarc Hehe, nice. QUESTION THO: Let us say we take two portions, of both the COTUS, and the bible. I will choose, Deuteronomy, and The Song of Solomon And I will choose, Section 10 No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility. and, The 2nd Amendment.
