My Idea = Add 'banishment' to prison sentences.

Correct. It's actually "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" In other words, the government can't run a church, prohibit a religion of existing or being practiced, or make reference to a religion directly in a law.

If the government devotes some money to having a piece of artwork made to commemorate the history of law, and the 10 commandments are included by the artist, there is no violation. If the government wants to run a private voucher program, just because many of the private schools in an area are also sponsored by religious institutions does not make that bill unconstitutional.

And I am quite glad that someone else out there is interested in education about the government and constitution for the purpose of greater understanding and preservation of self and nation.

 

If the person was cuaght in the act, eg: police busted him voilating a child. He should be shot on site, I know if i was on a patrol and i came accross a rapist (child or not) i would draw my weapon and fire, And id get away with it!

Hell id rather pin him to a meat ants nest, Slit his ball bag and let the ants do the fun bit... <-- Something i have planned if something happens to my own children. Although i wouldn't get away with that

On the note though of rights etc.

I agree that rights are needed, If a innocent person is found guilty how would you feel if you removed genitials and a piece of brain.. only to find they were innocent all along?. This is why Hanging stopped

BUT, If the person is correctly identified by footage, dna testing or Busted in the act then they should be punished hard

 

Even if someone is guilty, obviously so, there are certain rights that they have, which are still protected by the constitution.

 

Precisely.

And often at the expense of the victim's right to justice.

 

The victim has no right to justice which is protected by the constitution. The defendant, on the other hand, even after conviction, has certain rights which are outlined in the constitution.

We don't have a justice system. That's to hard to define and enforce. We have a legal system. And as such, laws (including the supreme law of the land, the constitution), must be enforced.

 

And should be changed to better reflect modern life.

 

There are procedures for changing the legal system, however the rights that individuals have cannot be changed simply by changing a piece of paper.

Even if the protection of the right to bear arms, for example, were removed from the constitution, we would still have it.
