s. 1167 deletes a dumb law

February 15, 2010 by Kevin Bryant

I’ve coauthored a bill, S. 1167, with the Chief Justice of the Senate, Senator Larry Martin. S. 1167 deletes the “subversive activities registration act” (Chapter 29, Title 23 of the 1976 code).

This act smacks the face of the foundation Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

then a mandate in the Declaration of Independence:

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government…

No come on. Do you actually think a group that intends to over throw the government “by force or violence or other unlawful means” is actually going to “register with the Secretary of State on forms”?
