But the Constitution is not some mystical document that no one really knows what it means! It took nearly 20 years to compose after many lengthy debates between all kinds of viewpoints and considerations. Every single word was carefully contemplated and crafted into a document which gave us a radically new form of government that had never been tried before. The supporting arguments for every article and every section is found in the Federalist Papers. The only "interpretation" that matters is what the Federalist Papers tell us is the original interpretation and meaning established by the framers. If it's not in there, it can't be shoehorned in through manipulation of language just because you're clever enough to twist and distort semantics.
Ideally, yes you are definitely right. But don't you think that people are "twisting and distorting" the constitution constantly nowadays? All I intend to say is that the meanings of the constitution is not always clear. People disagree. Not that I like it or dislike it.
People have always tried to get away with stuff. They aren't going to stop, and you aren't going to prevent them from trying. Doesn't mean that it's impossible to know what the law is, simply because people try to evade it.
Certainly there is this "true meaning" for the constitution, but who speaks for that "true meaning"? You? Me? Cruz? Sanders? Everybody can claim that he speaks for the constitution and that he interprets it in the most objective way in the world. The problem is, when different interpretations are backed by large group of people, you have to go through very complicated processes to prove which one is correct. Just claiming that you are right isn't going to do a damn thing.
Therefore,
claiming that someone defends the true meaning of the Constitution is hardly a convincing argument that can bring people on board, although it makes those who are
already on board feel better. Lastly, in case you fail to notice, the game is all about bringing people on board. That's the point!
Your point is pure bullshit. Liberals "interpret" the Constitution, and pretty much everything else, to advance their progressive/socialist agenda.
The founders wrote extensively on what they meant, if the simple words written for farmers were too difficult to grasp. Like the Second Amendment, there's no mystery there. They wanted the population armed so tyranny could not set hold.
The lying liberal pond scum wants the population unarmed so they can cram their policies down our throats unopposed. So they set up this false narrative and pretend the short, sweet and simple words are quatum mechanics that only the best trained minds in the country can consider correctly. Liberals lie, it's what they do. The fact that they fool many doesn't change reality.
You hate the liberals too much that your eyes are blind. You can't even see that I actually hope a conservative candidate wins!
Let me put it this way, I used to think that Rubio was the most competent candidate until I saw his debate performance (not just the one in which he repeated the lines like a stupid robot): that is clearly someone who is weak in personality! Now just because you like him, you don't want to admit his weakness! You can claim that he's the best candidate while ignoring his flaws, but his opponents will ruthlessly exploit those flaws and screw him! Does Rubio have the strength to change the rules of the game? Hell no! So you can curse the media and the left as much as you want, but you can't save him!
The same goes for the constitution: you go and say that your candidate defends the Constitution like a hero, guess what? Nobody gives a damn about it except those who share your interpretation of the Constitution. You can glorify your opinions in the name of Constitution as you want, yet it's just bullshit in the eyes of people who don't agree with you. You say they are hell wrong, so what? They disagree, and despise you as much as you despise them. Let me remind you, the key to the victory in this game is to convince others that your candidate is better, not to annoy and alienate them. Think before you post!
