    here is where you are unfortunately correct. we the people, at least a majority of us, have become both apathetic and accustomed to the government ignoring the constitution. we allow this by believing that the government is the only entity capable of telling us what the constitution means. we also allow ideology to dictate our belief in the constitutions intent.............the 2nd Amendment as an example. It will continue this way because those of us who try to educate people about what their power is and how the government ignores its restrictions get labeled as radical, extremist, or plain old nutjobs............because we literally shake the foundation of their reality. freedom scares them.
    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.

    well, if you think you can show us the other ideas of the founders that indicate that SCOTUS is to be the sole proprietor of the constitution, lets see it. Otherwise, jeffersons opinion being the only one shown so far, has to be the correct one.

    Thank you for raising that point. What the Founders thought then really is immaterial now.

    We all know TJ was boinking his slave and Maria Conway in France when the Constitution was being written in the US.

    That's just it. TJ and what he thought about the Constitution then is not relevant now. He was not even involved in the writing of it.

    why isn't it relevant about what he thought the constitution? what about madisons thoughts, then? are any of his thoughts relevant on the constitution now? and if not, then whose thoughts are relevant?

    do you know when his switch happened? once he was elected. it was at that point he then discovered just how much the constitution restricted his power as the president. funny thing about politicians. they don't like having their power over you limited at all. it's why we the people are to be the rightful masters and owners of what the constitution means.

    That is immaterial, StY: that was then and this is now. I have no desire to live in the world of 1793.

    Accept some counsel: you are not enlightened, you have no special insight. Instead you are working out inner frustrations because people do not take you seriously. That is not because they are assholes.

    if enlightenment means to submit to government slavery, then you're right. i'm not. how much government control do you think there should be for you? how little freedom do you desire?
