The welfare state is unconstitutional by an originalist interpretation of a Constitution. I think it would cause an uproar if SS was no more.

Nice to see at at least one liberal retains his sense of humor.

"Fixing" it is exactly what we are doing. In part by electing a President who tells the truth about the leftist fanatics (misnamed "liberals"), and nominates judges and justices who uphold the Constitution is it was written and intended.

Listen to the liberals scream in outrage and horror as we do it.

And get used to it. There's a lot more fixing to come.

This liberal is not screaming in outrage and horror. I have faith in our system. The civil rights movement, womens rights, even child labor laws. I think we eventually got those correct. But it took time. Slow progress. I have witnessed a lot of change in my lifetime. I have learned to never say never because of it. I think our system works even as society progresses. It has so far. I will not scream in outrage or horror either way. I am just too old to be overly passionate over something that interests me so very little. I came to this thread to ask for your definition of a well regulated militia. For the 529th time you cut and pasted a novel that I did not bother reading. I learned all I needed to just by the hate and anger in your responces.

It doesn't matter in regards to the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment does not mandate a militia. It mandates the uninfringeable right of the people to keep and bear arms.

Incorrect. The US Constitution states nothing about "interpretation" in regards to the Supreme Court.

I may not have read the last 495 posts, but I just wanted to say this regarding the thread title. If our judges were to follow the Constitution like they should, then there would be no problem. This is why I support Trump appointing judges who are originalists rather than those who judge based on emotion or some form of liberal "interpretation"of the Constitution.
Exactly. I agree 100%.

The Court is not supposed to "interpret" the Constitution. They are only to uphold it. Their Oath of Office confirms such.



Where on earth are people getting the idea that SCOTUS Justices are able to "interpret" the Constitution however they wish?

I wouldn't care if it ended if I got all my SS and Medicare payments back, plus interest. In fact, I would actually prefer that.

To properly 'interpret" all one has to do is READ WHAT THE WRITERS ACTUALLY "SAID" about an issue.


Reading what they wrote makes it PERFECTLY CLEAR what the mean when the said "the RIGHT of the PEOPLE to KEEP and BEAR arms shall NOT be INFRINGED".


How any judge who does NOT understand that, is NOT qualified to be a judge.

The Federalist Papers explained a lot of the reasoning behind what the Founders wanted the U.S. to be including the Constitution.
