Original intent means original intent. None of that extra garbage that was added to the constitution later.
Yes it is! Amendments to the constitution are valid - there is a process for that. It is about the intent of the amendments when they were passed.
By your reasoning,
13th - still allow slavery
14th amendment - goodbye 5th amendment rights for slaves and others naturalized
15th - goodbye rights to vote due to race
16th - Income tax would not be allowed - so much for taxing the rich.
17th - Can't vote for Senators - they are appointed by states - with Dems controlling 18 states and Gop 32, the senate mix would be 36 Dems, 64 Gop - might be real good.
NY state will pass laws allowing private business to display a "No weapons" sign if you go past that it's an automatic trespassing violation. They could even make it a more serious crime to go past the sign with a weapon. Here in Arizona 99% of the business's have the "No weapon" sign. Can't claim you didn't see the sign because the law says as long as the sign meets the laws standards your charged with trespassing. Most don't want to leave their guns in a car could get stolen most just don't open carry. This goes for CCW as well have to carry a tiny gun can't be seen fanny pack style stores security will spot that call police. Realistically NY could even make it a felony lose your gun rights.
In Arizona - it is nowhere close to 99% with the no weapons signs - I would say it is less than 50%. In NV, you see very few signs except outside of the casinos.
Doubt it would be made a felony in NY - but could lose CC permit rights.
Women are now chattel with Roe being overturned but guns are protected. Let’s have more children born to be used as target practice in the schools. Ugh!!!
For the foreseeable future, “Supreme Court Rules 6-3 in Favor of Barbarism” will be the headline. Oh well, civilization was nice while it lasted.
Why not bring back slavery? The 13th amendment wasn’t in the original constitution. The Founding Fathers never would have put the 13th in there, so it should be repealed. Let’s take originalism to it’s logical conclusion.
I guess it’s back to committing treason and insurrection to get rid of this evil rule of law.
Southern Democrats tried it for the Civil War, surely nothing could go wrong again.
Even more reason to get rid of the 13th amendment. It’s not in the original constitution anyway. In fact, the original constitution had a fugitive slave clause. Clearly, the Founding Fathers intended slavery to be legal. Why should we go against the Founding Fathers?
let’s just say in liberal land, the supreme court ruled on slavery. what would that mean? the states get to decide. do you honestly think any state in this day and age would partake in slavery? ridiculous argument.

Your knowledge on this subject is laughable. Your post proves you haven't been taught much about our nations Founding.

Gotta say, when you think the left can't get any dumber, another one steps up and goes "hold my beer".
