Yes Ray, we understand you right wingers want to say that anything not mentioned in the constitution is fair game or off limits.
But these Republicans here on USMB act like it's obvious when something is or isn't constitutional. Until Trump does something unconstitutional and then they argue.You mean you do believe there is such a thing as absolute right and wrong? That's not how I remember you arguing it the last time.
That’s always the way of dupes of the duopoly.But these Republicans here on USMB act like it's obvious when something is or isn't constitutional. Until Trump does something unconstitutional and then they argue.
How many justices voted to overturn roe v wade? 5? If it was so clear cut that roe v wade was unconstitutional, how come 4 disagreed?
you know that Trump appointed 3 extreme right wing justices who have an extreme interpretation of what is and isn't constitutional?
Or how about this?
Justice Neil Gorsuch fumes that the Supreme Court 'failed' to 'honor this Nation's promises' as it rolled back tribal authority in Oklahoma

Don't they all know and agree on what's right and wrong????
There was no formal way to go get an abortion back in biblical days or during the days of the founders.
And maybe they were more religious than we are now. Ever think of that Ray? We aren't as religious today as we were back then. Back then maybe they thought it was murder. Today we don't. Well, some of us don't.
So I don't give a fuck if the founders forgot to mention something. What is that supposed to mean to me? Because they didn't mention it we can't have it? This smells like a bad right wing argument you are making.

It's a game.That’s always the way of dupes of the duopoly.
Yes, but the vast majority of the people don’t know it and the game is rigged for the benefit of the powerful and wealthy. If something isn’t done soon, we’re headed for complete tyranny.It's a game.
People have been saying that for centuries.Yes, but the vast majority of the people don’t know it and the game is rigged for the benefit of the powerful and wealthy. If something isn’t done soon, we’re headed for complete tyranny.
Not in this country.People have been saying that for centuries.
You'd be hard pressed to prove that.Not in this country.
That’s easily proved. We were a very free nation for the first 100-150 years.You'd be hard pressed to prove that.
Pessimists have been saying America is going to hell for more than 200 years
Think American democracy is ending? You’re not alone, writes a historian. American leaders have often yielded to despair – as far back as the founding of the republic.theconversation.com

I wasn’t speaking of black people. So I suppose it is somewhat subjective.Sounds subjective to me. And I'm not sure black people would agree with you either.
It's 100% subjective. Besides I already proved this wrong by showing you that Pessimists have been saying America is going to hell for more than 200 years.I wasn’t speaking of black people. So I suppose it is somewhat subjective.

"...When Thomas Jefferson realized the implications of grounding a nation upon slavery, his pessimism reached metaphysical, theological heights:
“I tremble for my country when reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.”
John Adams, the second president, was similarly prone to frequent bouts of pessimism.
“Our country will do like all others,” he wrote a few years before entering office, “play their affairs into the hands of a few cunning fellows..."
More from the link I posted...The vast majority of Americans were white and of European descent, until recently. They had considerable freedom that few people in the history of the world had.
Our central government was small and weak. Americans had little experience with the federal government at any level, until early in the 20th century.
Well I've been hearing their justifications for why they strike down this law or that law. Too chez. I guess we will have to live with their bad decisions until the day comes when we overturn them. Or, people will accept their rulings. For example the EPA doesn't have the power Democrats gave them. So now environmental laws will have to go through congress. That makes corporations happy because now they can continue to pollute.For the longest time the court has been politicized by the left. They could care less what the Constitution actually said. Now times have changed. The words of the document and intent of our forefathers is now being upheld. I can hardly wait until the anchor babies issue gets in front of the court.
Doesn't matter that 70% of us don't agree with their rulings because 50% of Congress is Republican.
Over time, if people don't like it, then they will replace Republicans.
I'll go with it. Just like a lot of Democrats had to in Germany when the Republicans took over in the 1940's.Accountability. Like the Founders intended.
