Right Sangha. Republicans are the only people that have ever ammended the constitution (not that they could if they wanted to......minor oversight in your quick attempt to get a jab in).

I don't see any dems claiming to be Originalists or Strict Constructionists, or claiming that the Constitution has been "corrupted"

 

[jillian]

that's because dems don't pick and choose the parts of the constitution they like.

the rightwingnuts never met an individual liberty they didn't try to abridge....

except for gun ownership, of course.

The amendment process was written in to the original document, fool.

It's the judiciary making law and "interpretations" up out of whole cloth that wasn't.

That's because you only hear what you've tuned your Fabian socialist ears to hear.

Constructionists also abhor the corruption of original intent that are the 14th, 16th and 17th Amendments.

That might have something to do with the fact that a Non-Originalist interpretation of the Constitution is one of the basics of American liberalism. Among those who read it, anyway. Cluelessness about the COTUS isn't confined to one side of the spectrum.

You are correct.
The Dems just throw the whole thing out, no picking and choosing for them.

Jillian, you dissapoint me, of course they do. The 2nd Amendment is a "state" right according to most Dems. Not a individual right. The fact that it is listed second in the Bill of Rights seems to belie their contention but hey they can pick and choose with the best of them.

So when Congress votes to freeze their pay, then no citizen would be allowed to have a raise?

i've yet to meet a rightwingnut who doesn't want to do away with the 1st amendment's separation of church and state, habeas corpus, equal treatrment under the law, the 4th amendment and now, birthright citizenship

and i've yet to meet a rightwingnut who actually understood a single thing about the constitution, no matter how many times they say the words.

but thanks for playing.

There is no such thing as "original intent". That's a phony premise that would have us believe that all the Founders were of the same mind. There were actually "original intents", which is why we have a relatively short and in some ways vague document, necessitating courts to make interpretations. As Jefferson said, it's for each generation to decide what it means and that we're not bound to their interpretation.

"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.” Thomas Jefferson

It's a reactionary proposal and would add nothing to the American way of life and the political debate.

It's bullshit

and Madison himself argued that the original intent should be argued from the perspective of the ratifiers, nit the framers or signers of the US Constitution.

Oddball Dude, be not too bright

Hey Dumbass! Only 10 amendments were part of the ORIGINAL constitution! In your retard mind you trying to say that wingnutz don't approve of the 13th amendment, equal protection clause, 2 terms, no poll tax, sufferage for woman and Blacks etc.

Go fuck yourself!
