No one is changing the rules. No one is doing anything without full disclosure. If some action is not following either the Constitution or the Supreme Court's ruling regarding the Constitution it will get fixed.
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.
Listen to yourself man! I am wrong for wanting to know how a member of this board defines well regulated militia? For the love of Christ man!
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.

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.
Constitution is just a bunch of words... each person reads them with different interpretations. Court system interprets them and applies them to laws. So in reality its really the courts that prevail.
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?
The Federalist Papers explained a lot of the reasoning behind what the Founders wanted the U.S. to be including the Constitution.
