    You can read about Deadwood or San Francisco.

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Your usual horse shit, when you have nothing to say, StY.

    And you ignored Deadwood and San Francisco.

    In the mining west, compare the mining towns' government to that of the Mormons in Utah. For the first decade, the Mormons had generally let business and the people do as they wish on Main and State Street until about 1860. Terrible environment for civilians, then the city government clamped down and regulated business and society. Much cleaner, much safer, much more sensible.

    why are you using the LDS as an example against libertarianism? more idiocy. instead of using the BS talking points for hating freedom, go and actually learn about Libertarianism.

    IOW, StY has nothing, other than the usual assertion that libertarianism is "good."

    It's not.

    The LDS tried libertarianism in the first decade and it endangered the community

    the thing that's total horseshit is thinking that only government can guarantee freedom LOL

    how'd that work for the founders?

    It does not need 'interpretation'. It is plainly written.

    It is impossible for libertarian policies to endanger us because they never get anything passed.
    But they have.

    Random police roadblocks are a thing of the past in some States.
    Cannabis is legal now in some States.
    There is no active Selective Service system anymore.
    There are now some States that have no permit or regulation required to carry a gun, even concealed.

    Libertarians do not seek to dominate.

    No, it doesn't mean that. The court DOES have authority over laws passed by Congress.

    Communist theory also does not seek to dominate the weak. But it has always existed in nations with authoritarian political cultures and never reached its utopian goals.
    Communism DOES seek to dominate the weak. It can only exist by stealing wealth. It can only be implemented by oligarchy or dictatorship. The same is true of fascism (the other form of socialism).

    No. It involves interpreting the law being challenged only. The court does not have authority to interpret the Constitution.
