Ooops! There Goes Another Freedom!

...you are correct that I have and will continue to attack the 'awful' Liberal/Progressive/communists.....

In which case you’ll succeed only in continuing to exhibit your ignorance and hate – for example: liberals and progressives have nothing to do with ‘communists.’

You know what I stand for…

Yes, indeed we do.

You stand for ignorance and fear common among conservative reactionaries, you disdain diversity and expressions of individual liberty, where you seek to expand the power and authority of the state at the expense of individual liberty.

We know you well, as did the Framers, who created the Constitution and its case law to protect all persons from the fear, hate, and ignorance you embrace.

She's an admitted McCarthy-bot. That's where the whole "communist" canard comes from; conflating the actual liberals of his day (which were mostly in the DP, and thus the "enemy" party) with the Emmanual Goldstein of the day (communism) in a false equivalence engineered by possibly the most dishonest hack ever to hold public office. And some still buy it hook line and sinker, plodding on with no idea what Liberalism actually means, lost in the demagoguery and easily swayed by the shiny object rhetoric therein.

Gullible's Travels.

 

[Uncensored2008]

The Constitution exists only in the context of its case law, where the courts are authorized by the Constitution to determine what the Constitution means.

Bullshit.

Marbury V. Madison is NOT the Constitution.

One of course is entitled to his own opinion as to what the Constitution means; he is not, however, entitled to his own facts of Constitutional jurisprudence.

One is also at liberty to disagree with Supreme Court rulings, and to seek to have rulings overturned through the political process, such as amending the Constitution to nullify a given ruling, this was the case with regard to Dred Scott, rendered null and void by the 14th Amendment.

But until such time as a ruling is overturned, or nullified by an amendment, it remains the original intent of the Framers, and the supreme law of the land.

When the SCOTUS hands down clearly unconstitutional rulings, such a Kelo V. New London, one is hard pressed to recognize them as a legitimate authority.
