Another damaging ruling for democracy

[dblack]

And what about the minority fucking you blind?

That's what laws are for. The Constitution protects us from the government (the majority). Laws protect us from everyone else.

 

[dblack]

Nowhere does it say anything about overwhelming majorities.

Constitutional amendments require, arguably, overwhelming majorities.

Ummmm… no. That’s just batshit.

The reverse is as true.

 

[dblack]

Ummmm… no. That’s just batshit.

The reverse is as true.

How so?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Ummmm… no. That’s just batshit.

The reverse is as true.

The second amendment was basically for protection from government

51% means nothing in the Constitution, Holmes. The hurdles to creating law Constitutionally are way beyond simple majorities

 

[Lesh]

The second amendment was basically for protection from government

Nope. It says nothing of the kind and other parts of the Constitution describe using the 2A militia to put DOWN revolts of that kind (which it did indeed do on two occasions)

Yeah it does. You're trying to argue something you know nothing about

"Congress shall make no law ..."

Fuck "democracy"

Kill it.

That’s the play , huh?
Withhold cooperation to show how “broken” the system is? Create a pretext for civil war.
That only works on the dopey RWers. But then it only has to.
Degenerates.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Let's see if SCOTUS will hear the suit.

 

[Lesh]

Yeah it does. You're trying to argue something you know nothing about

Article 2 Section 8

And you’re a teacher??

 

[BlindBoo]

Yep that’s how Republicans feel

The Neo-GOP opposes the Republican form of government as call for in our Constitution. They no longer want to be beholden to the people. It all about the money. Vote them out while you still can.

 

[BlindBoo]

No it wasn't. The militia's were set up by Congress and were part of the chain of command to defend the nation when so needed.

Yeah it was, nothing more comical than a left loon trying to pretend they know the Constitution

Well listening to a Faux not News influenced person on just about anything related to reality is.

Thanks for the laugh.

Whenever a democrat cites democracy you can be sure something undemocratic and sinister is in play.
Ask a democrat about vetting fifty million non-vettable votes.

The right-wing war on democracy continues.

Yeah, how dare a majority of parents get to decide what is appropriate for everyone's kids to be exposed to in school! How dare they! How dare the majority of the people decide it's not appropriate for men to follow little girls into a locker room! How dare they! How dare so many of them get together and decide it's not appropriate for men pretending to be women to take their clothes off in front of kids! How dare they exercise their democratic power and vote such things to be illegal!

And how dare these lawmakers use the democratic process to pass laws they like! How dare they not ask random internet keyboard jockeys first!
