<strong>Vatican</strong> <strong>Assassins</strong><br />

“It seems to me that the privileges and immunities enumerated in these<br />

[ten] amendments belong to every citizen of the United States. They<br />

were universally so regarded prior to the adoption of the Fourteenth<br />

Amendment. . . .I take it no one doubts that the great men who laid the<br />

foundations of our government regarded the preservation of the<br />

privileges and immunities specified in the first ten Amendments as vital<br />

to the personal security of American citizens . . .<br />

But, if I do not wholly misapprehend the scope and legal effect of the<br />

present decision, the Constitution of the United States does not stand in<br />

the way of any state striking down guaranties of life and liberty that<br />

English-speaking people have for centuries regarded as vital to personal<br />

security, and which the men of the revolutionary period universally<br />

claimed as the birthright of freemen.” {11} [Emphasis added]<br />

This same question was again before the Court in 1908. In Twining v. New<br />

Jersey, 211 US 97, 105, 106 (1908), the majority opinion sealed forever the holding<br />

of the Slaughterhouse Cases. Proceeding as if it were England’s King’s Bench or<br />

the Pope’s Sacred Rota, it arrogantly declared:<br />

“This view is based upon the contention which must now be examined,<br />

that the safeguards of personal rights which are enumerated in the first<br />

eight articles of amendment to the Federal Constitution, sometimes<br />

called the Federal Bill of Rights though they were by those<br />

Amendments originally secured only against national action, are among<br />

the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, which this<br />

th Am<br />

clause of the 14 endment protects against state action. This view<br />

has been, at different times, expressed by justices of this court . . . (Mr.<br />

Justice Field . . . and Mr. Justice Harlan . . . ), and was undoubtedly that<br />

entertained by some of those who framed the Amendment.<br />

[The Court then gives its Jesuitical, absolutist, tyrannical decree, opening the door<br />

for the Empire’s future fascist Roman Catholic, military dictatorship.]<br />

It is, however, not profitable to examine the weighty arguments in its<br />

favor, for the question is no longer open in the court.<br />

The right of trial<br />

by jury in civil cases, guaranteed by the 7<br />

right to bear arms, guaranteed by the 2 nd th<br />

Amendment . . . and the<br />

Amendment, have been<br />

distinctly held not to be privileges and immunities of citizens of the<br />

th<br />

United States, guaranteed by the 14 Amendment<br />

. . . the same decision<br />

was made in respect of the guaranty against prosecution, except by<br />

th<br />

indictment of a grand jury, contained in the 5 Amendment<br />

. . . and in<br />
