texas court makes new law out of thin air, negates a right of the people

[jimmymccready]

There you go again with the nonsense. Taxation is not government slavery. Taxation is approved by the representatives We the People elect. Libertarianism is a political pathology that endangers us all.

 

[domer76]

you're whats wrong with this country, cop sucking loser

Just the opposite, stupid shit. Ignorance of your magnitude is what fucks things up.

You thinking that you’re a fucking author of the Constitution is on the Stupid Scale just below your forever #1 “vehicles cannot be necessary” laugher.

Libertarianism is a political pathology that endangers us all.

Including all the views they share with liberals?

the only ones who hate/fear Libertarianism are the ones who are terrified of the freedom of others. the need to control everyone but themselves leads to democrats and republicans. Libertarianism is all about liberty.

You still haven’t told the forum, laughable cunt, which section of the Constitution you authored.

Amazing that you could come up with the top 2 stupidest posts this forum has ever seen. Statistics say there should be a different distribution.

lololololololol

That makes no more sense than all the views they share with conservatives.

Think this through. You are so much brighter than idiot boy, StY.

You are spewing nonsense again. Libertarianism is all about a society of "equals" where the powerful are allowed to grind the face of the poor without restraint.

You claim Congress has the power to change the Constitution.

Never did, liar.

It specifically gives Congress the power to appropriate money and there is nothing giving them the power to delegate that authority to the president to spend as he sees fit.

The President is not appropriating money when he is using the emergency powers act. Neither did Trump. The money was already appropriated.

It violates separation of powers.

No, it doesn't. It's a legal budget item passed by Congress and signed by President Ford.

If Congress can change the Constitution so can the courts.

They did not change the Constitution when appropriating money for this purpose.

If the president says it is not illegal when he does something maybe the courts took that same attitude--it is not illegal when they do it.

Compositional error fallacy.

Or more to the point, it is not illegal because you say it is.

Compositional error fallacy. False equivalence fallacy. Argument of the stone fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

Like the Constitution--ever changing to apply to new circumstances not specifically covered before.

WRONG. The Constitution can ONLY be changed by States and ONLY through a specific means, listed in the Constitution itself.

 

[Into the Night]

A living document does not require what "framers or commentators" thought at the time.

WRONG. A 'living document' is not a constitution at all. You cannot void a constitution in this way.

 

[Into the Night]

This guy is a sock that I can’t put my finger on. The absurd claim that dictionaries don’t provide definitions of words has been used by someone else in the past, but I can’t recall who.

Doesn't matter. Dictionaries don't define words. Whoever it was understood the same thing about dictionaries.

Since you consider any like opinion proof of a sock, you must be a sock of StoneByStone, moon, Cypress, Adolf_Twitler, and a host of others.

 

[domer76]

Is there a gnat in the room?

Yes, the Constitution is a living document, that's why arguments against fail.

No. It is not a 'living document'. You cannot void the Constitution that way.

 

[Rune]

Why is it you people can't recognize the fact that Constitutional rights can be regulated, that no right, none, are absolute, ever one can be, and are, regulated, simple fact. Carrying long guns in public can be legally regulated

When will you acquire the definition of "shall not be infringed"?

 

[Into the Night]

Yes, the exception is a complete ban although at the time that only applied to federal legislation and not the states.

But those regulations advocated by gun-control supporters are possible and exist in various forms in many states. My point was that all the debate over the 2nd Amendment's interpretation is an interesting academic debate but does prevent most of those laws gun control people imply are being prevented by that interpretation.

WRONG. The right to self defense is inherent. There is NO designation of any weapon by type in the 2nd amendment.

 

[Into the Night]

But the people don't change constitutional interpretation---only the federal courts do so. The people didn't decide in the recent case that partisan gerrymandering does not violate the Constitution--it was a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling.

You are one of "we the people"--how did you influence that decision?

No court has the authority to interpret or change the Constitution.

 

[Into the Night]

Of course the Constitution, through SCOTUS or the amendment process, adapts to new circumstances.

To suggest that it is "static" is barking mad and leads to political insanity.

No court has authority to change the Constitution. It can only be changed by the amendment process, which is specific. Only the States may change the Constitution, and only by the procedure outlined in the Constitution itself.

 

[Into the Night]

Yet, they have been doing so for 200+ years. It seems to be established law by now and the "we, the people" obviously accept it because we have done nothing to change it.

Lie. The Court does not have authority to usurp authority over the Constitution. Time makes no difference.

 

[Into the Night]

One can argue that SCOTUS has no constitutional mandate to interpret the Constitution in the light of the times, and that is their opinion, a wrong one.

Thomas Jefferson had his opinion, too, a decidedly minority one that has had little impact historically on the issue.

No court has authority over the Constitution. See Article III of the Constitution of the United States.
