John Kasich Versus The Fifth Amendment
BY Herschel Smith
5 years, 11 months ago
“If I have a gun and I shoot somebody, I should have to describe why I did that,” Kasich said in an interview.
He also expressed frustration that Ohio’s GOP-controlled Legislature would not pass a “red flag” law to allow relatives or police to ask a court to remove temporarily any guns from a person they fear might be a threat to themselves or others.
“There’s no ‘red flag’ law,” Kasich said. “I pleaded with them to put the ‘red flag’ law in there. They didn’t do it.”
Let me say in the clearest language possible: No, Kasich, a person is not required to testify against himself. That’s a protection we’re guaranteed in the Fifth Amendment to the constitution.
That may be uncomfortable to you, but I don’t care because it’s a right of all citizens. One very important reason for it is that it’s based on Biblical law, which requires two or more witnesses, independent of the accused, to convict a man for a crime. Coercion is unbiblical and immoral.
As for your red flag law, that’s an equally unconstitutional and immoral infringement upon the rights guaranteed under the constitution.

They keep saying that Red Flag laws are to ‘temporarily’ remove firearms yet nobody has ever gotten them back. It’s confiscation.
First they came for the ‘crazy’ people and then they came for people who did nothing about that because they figured, correctly, that they must be crazy to for not trying to stop this, and then they came for me.
I met with our Lt. Governor a few weeks ago. He seemed to not know about Red Flag laws which was fine because I schooled him. Nice guy, little wimpy. But then last week a state senator to Nashville, Republican YES, Republican Senator Steve Dickerson, Nashville district, wrote an op ed in which he says he’s going to introduce Red Flag gun confiscation in the formerly Free and formerly Christian Republic of Tennessee. There’s a picture of him in the article. He lives and works in Nashville, TN.

I’m doing my part to stop this. What are y’all doing? Here’s some info about it. A little dated but it’s good background.

Fred: you sure nobody has gotten their guns back? Because we don’t want to claim precisely that if, in all the states where this now exists, there’s exceptions.
One other note we’ve learned from the recent Florida experience: they’re also a general tool of harassment, of the ~400 cases from the mid-March beginning of the law to when numbers were reported in mid-July I think, half of the targets owned no guns at all….

Kasich is a politician. A Maxine Waters-level idiot politician.

Kasich is a poster child for not just term limits, but a lifetime limit of 6 years in any elected office.
Total.
Cumulative.
He should not have even been in office to help pass the “bill he didn’t read” in 1994, he’d been in office well past my “limit” at that point.
I joke (sadly…) that he “wasn’t reading what he voted for long before it was cool”.
I never voted for him.
In a few cases I had to leave it blank (yes…I live in Westerville).
I couldn’t even “vote against his opponent”.
That man is a weasel.

Kasich was one of the Republican CON-gressmen who voted for, and thus gave us, Bill Clinton’s Assault Weapons Ban in SEP 94.
Then as now, the voters of Ohio continued to suffer from Crainial-Rectal Inversion when they voted to make Commie Kasich governor of Ohio.
