Can you find the writings where some politician wanted to end slavery that said someting like 'as a liberal'? I would like to see the historical evidence that this is true.
The liberal/progressive ideology ended slavery as well as the civil rights act and all other social justice efforts in this country... It's why the ideology is call progressive, it institutes change
BULLSHIT
Not all changes are progressive - most of the legislation adopted by "progressives" is regressive"
1= Federal Reserve Act
2- Federal graduated "income" tax
3- the massive regulatory state
4- the civil rights act
5- why is the abolition of slavery a "progressive intervention?
.
Fist off I said "social justice" efforts. Liberal fiscal policy is the opposite as it grows government and increases regulations.
Conservative/traditional ideology is just that, keep the status quo for social policy and keep government out of it. Human rights efforts whether it be for blacks, women, or LGBT were and are instigated by progressives that fight for change towards a more socially just system. Not sure why you debate about that
Is there a Constitutional (1787) proviso which enslaves minorities , women, and LGBT?
The problem is NOT the Constitution or additional stautes , ie , civil, rights act, the problem is racist intolerant "justices".
.By the way the worse intolerant corrupt "justice" was Thurgood Marshall, go fig.
No, the problem is this sort of reactionary nonsense and literalist idiocy.
It was the original understanding and intent of the Framing Generation that the Supreme Court would determine what the Constitution means, as authorized to do so by the doctrine of judicial review and Articles III and VI of the Constitution.
The Constitution is the culmination of centuries of Anglo-American judicial tradition, where the rulings, doctrines, and precedents that predate the Constitution are part of the Constitution, and part of the case law that manifests as the Constitution.
The Constitution exists solely in the context of its case law.
“But that’s not in the Constitution” is a failed and ignorant ‘argument,' as is the moronic notion of 'corrupt justices.'
