Many people and sources interpret the constitution to suit their own purposes. However, when SCOTUS does so, they impose it on us!

Hey trybutt, YOU obviously don't comprehend nor understand this but the SCOTUS is the only ones that interpret our Constitution.


Suggesting otherwise is, like YOU, tsudip.

Right wingers twist and misinterpret the constitution to fit their own agenda, just like everyone else. Only they do so more often and much more blatantly.

Trump stated that he would consider eliminating it, although he ignored it anyway. Why don't you MAGATS just come right out and admit you want this country run according to "The Cosen One?"

Conservatives follow the constitution, liberals want to change the meaning or rewrite it.


What is your source for this definition? I've shown the traditional definitions, which clearly state that the basic fundamental for Conservatives is a smaller central government in favor of a larger local government.


The constitution calls for a Federal Government with limited powers. In other words a smaller central government which you admit is basic fundamental for conservative.


Any federal regulations on the border and women's health would oppose this fundamental... so they're not conservative.

Again, the constitution spells out the duties of the federal government and the primary duty is protecting its people. Again, conservatives are for protecting the lives of babies from murder. Do you think the government should not outlaw murder?


Civil rights are protected by the constitution. Not sure what you are saying.

Republicans wanted federal regulation to stop the right for gay people to marry.


Most Republicans I know want the Federal Government to stay completely out of the marriage business gay and heterosexual


They currently want federal regulation to prevent private businesses from allowing transgender people from playing sports.

Wrong again. We want to allow women to compete against women and men to to compete against men. You don't think women should have that right?


They want federal regulation to stop gay and transgender people from reading to children.


Don't be so ignorant. We don't want p**n read to the children.


They support federal laws that explicitly target minorities, like Florida's SB 1718 and the Stop-and-Frisk laws (even though they obviously violated the 4th Amendment).


Your interpretation (which is usually wrong)


Those regulation all give more power to the federal government and take that power from local government... making them liberal.


Nope. I have proved multiple times that this is not true.

The constitution is intended to be a living document that's why it just doesn't stop with the original articles. The whole purpose of amendments is to bring the constitution up to date, that's why they're called AMENDMENTS. Amendments can be repealed they are NOT carved in stone!

Is that why Trump said he wants to get rid of birthright citizenship (14 is pretty clear) which is....in the...Constitution?

"Foxy, the posts you've made on here have been super liberal... you are in favor of federal regulations requiring closed borders, federal regulations on women's health, and federal regulations on civil rights."

Anti you are so wrong.

By closing the borders the Federal government is doing their jobs of protecting the citizens of this country which is outlined in the constitution.

We aren't advocating regulations on women's health, we are advocating the protection of babies from murder.

Civil rights are protected by the constitution. Not sure what you are saying.

It is the governments job to protect our border. It is not their job to facilitate illegal aliens in crossing, housing, feeding transporting them across our country... I am for protecting the innocent unborn babies being slaughter...

I'm not debating your beliefs in this thread, I'm just pointing out a simple fact.

By definition, your beliefs here are liberal, not conservative. You are wanting to give greater power to the federal government and take away rights from local government... that's extremely liberal.

I have no idea what you are talking about on the civil rights statement

I'm referring to equal rights regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. Republicans have long argued in favor of federal regulations to restrict equal rights for those classes, and by definition those regulations would be liberal.

How do we prevent abuses of the of safety net systems? How do we enforce penalties for misuse of the safety net systems? Well, we can dispose of them all entirely or raise more taxes to employ more people to oversee the application and regulation of the safety net services. Or we can leave things as they are knowing there will be those that will misuse and abuse them.

There are those that manipulate and flat out cheat on the tax system, the majority of whom are in the higher income bracket. Did you hear their cronies and lackeys squealing when Sleepy Joe announced he was going to hire more auditors to minimize the cheating?
If you believe the kind of crap that f*xxy, unfried, Bertie, DumbBell and Les et al post: 50% of the USA's population are abusing the system while doped up to the eyebrows and living in cardboard boxes.

The job of our government is to protect and serve. Without a border we have no country. It is the governments job to protect our border. It is not their job to facilitate illegal aliens in crossing, housing, feeding transporting them across our country. Then hiding them in expensive motels, giving free medical care and money or cards.

Yes, again I am for protecting the innocent unborn babies being slaughter so loose moral women can breed like dogs. It is not the job of our government to assist in the murder of children. I have no idea what you are talking about on the civil rights statement and honestly don't think you do either
PROTECT and SERVE was never intended to become a hideout for criminals or food on a silver platter.
