Funny thing is it’s the third amendment that I use when arguing against Moonbats who rant about how bad it is for corporations to be considered an individual as laid out in Citizens United. I tell them to imagine you own a small business with a nice little store. One day you’re at work and a military officer walks in. He hands you an order signed by George W Bush (always their nemesis) saying that the Army is taking over your store and their are going to use it to house Army troops. Think Citizens United is wrong? Fine- your store has no constitutional rights and all you can do is hand the keys over to the Army officer, go to McDonalds and ask them for a job application.Too bad it’s not written broadly enough to be of use in eminent domain cases such as Kelo v. City of New London.
Long live the Third Amendment!
Of course, in thinking about it, the other claim to fame for the Third Amendment is that it is probably one of only two amendments the ACLU has never defended. The other being the Second.
