Boy did you flunk Civics 102.

The Supreme Law of the Land is the US Cde of Federal regulations. The
Constitution is there as a guideline for making laws and determining
whather laws violate or follow its intent. Then again intent is all
based on interpretation.

correct.

If the U.S. Constitution is only interpretation and not law, then the
things about ex-post-facto in it are not law either which means you as
U.S. citizens have no
guarantee that you won't be put in jail tomorow for something that is
a crime tomorrow but not a crime today when you commit it.

Nor even have the right to not be put in jail tomorrow for doing
somethinng today that is a crime tomorrow but not a crime today

This means that if the FCC decides in 2011 to give thee 27 mhzCB band
back to the ham operators and says that non-hams aren't allowed to
transmit anywhere
in what was the 27 mhz CB band, they can legally put you, a non-ham in
jail in 2012 for transmitting on CB channel 19 *in 2008 even if you
never transmitted there after 2008.

Think that can't happen? As recently as last year (2007), I seen some
posts by some hams wanting and trying to get the FCC to give back the
27 mhz CB band
that the CBers "stole" from them.

And they would also be able to legally put you, a ham, in jail in 2008
for transmitting on the 11 meter band in 1955 with more power than is
allowed to be transmitted on the
11 meter band in 2008.

If the U.S. Constitution is law, which it is, and not interpretation,
then you as U.S. citizens are guaranteed that you can't legally be put
in jail or fined tomorrow for
doing today something that is a crime tomorrow but not a crime today
at the time you do it.

The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the U.S.

Besides what was mentioned in this thread, this in my opinion also
explains why beer advertising is still allowed on tv after cigarette
advertising was no longer
allowed.
