I wonder whether the SecWeb could benefit in having a separate Forum line for Constitutional issues? Maybe those of us who would use it are already well-tuned to put & take at the other forum sites here already... Something the Gods of the ungodly here might discuss together? Meanwhile for the Big Mother Constitution Huggers here at SecWeb Forum, I'd like to recommend an excellent one-big-fat paperback-giant volume, *The Changing Supreme Court: Constitutional Rights & Liberties* == authors >> Hensley, Smith & Baugh. Pub 1997. West Publishing. This gives you the WORKS: case by case, w/ enormous excerpts from the original decisions; the original loci for all those great sentences; not to mention the lousy decisions e.g. Plessy v. Ferguson; Smith (about the religious use of peyote as a Native American sacrament;.... all those great cases. Any o' you BIG C. freaks are going to love this book; try it!

Generally freedom of religion constitutional issues get discussed here, and other parts of the constitution (2nd amendment, rights of president v. congress, electoral college, violation of rights of people detained by government, etc.) get discussed in the political discussion forum.

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/031409878X/internetinfidelsA" target="_blank">Changing Supreme Court: Constitutional Rights and Liberties</a> by Thomas R. Hensley, Christopher E. Smith, Joyce A. Baugh.

It's a college textbook. $92 new, but some used copies are available on Amazon (and perhaps in your local college bookstore.)
