"I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any potential threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within which, opposed to all of our great traditions, have gravely weakened the structure and tone of our American way of life." — Douglas MacArthur
What you have here is classic Libprog "deflection" and "misdirect" . The reader is led to believe that Strict Constitutionalists believe that the country should go back to The Constitution that was in place before any amendments were added. In addition, they want you to infer that we want women and blacks denied the right to vote and we want to reestablish slavery. ----Folks, The Constitution of the United States along with it's 27 amendments is the greatest legal document ever known to man. It was constructed to make a more perfect union, not an absolutely perfect union. The founders made it a living document in that it can be altered at any time by the will of the people (states). ---Don't like The Constitution? Then move away or fight to change it. In this country, you have the right to have input, yet you mock the very document that gives you that right.
That has zero to do with what is meant by "strict construction." I could give you an example of a case where Breyer's minority opinion relied on strict construction and Scalia's majority opinion rested on interpretation of what is actually written according to original intent, i.e., originalism, and English law -- the opposite of what you might expect. But I am not not going to. Your boring me with your poorly informed posts.
And here you have Libprog defense number 2------This is where they respond with condescension and a self righteous attitude. ---Basically it's "I know a lot more than you and I could educate you but it's not worth my time as you would never get it--" Libprogs are on the wrong side of history and of facts and thus just throw up their hands--
There can be only one reason for the double standard that exists with regard to justice. Donald Trump is investigated ad nauseum yet Hillary, Bill and Rosenstein et al face absolutely no consequences for their obvious crimes. ----The reason is that Jeff Sessions is part of The Swamp---
This is from 75 years ago. Notice how far our freedoms have deteriorated and our oppressions have increased since. The Lefty, Libtard, Democraps have been chipping away at America for more than 100 years. Their ultimate objective is to transform America into a Communist-like, government centric society... where "you do and say what WE [the government] tell you to or else", culture.... the same culture America's founders fled from Europe in the 1500-1600s. Unfortunately, they've had too much success.
Paul Ryan said ''dealing with Trump is like dealing with a Ritalin-depraved child''. Paul Ryan admits he gave up trying to reel Trump in: ‘The pissing match doesn’t work’ In a profile piece from the New York Times, outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) conceded that he saw no reason to even attempt to influence President Donald Trump after he was elected. With Ryan’s time in Congress ticking down after choosing to not run for re-election, the fiscal conservative sat down to talk about what he has accomplished as well as the difficulties he encountered after the New York businessman’s surprise election in 2016. Sitting down with the Time’s Mark Leibovich, Ryan began his interview — only to have to stop because Trump was calling him on the phone. “Ah, jeez,” he told Leibovich as a congressional aide handed him a note saying Trump was on the line. According to Ryan, when he returned from the call, “The president saw me on ‘Fox & Friends.’ He said he thought I looked good.” Ryan confessed phone calls about TV appearances made up a great many of his interactions with the notoriously TV-obsessed Trump, explaining, “That happens to me a lot.” As Leibovich notes, “Trump and Ryan are stylistic and philosophical opposites: Trump the blunt-force agitator vs. Ryan the think-tank conservative. Trump lashes out while Ryan treads carefully. Ryan still fashions himself a ‘policy guy’ and a man of ideas,” which is why the two part ways when it comes to getting things done in Congress. During the interview, Ryan admitted that he never thought Trump would actually win the 2016 election, stating, “It was shocking to me, I didn’t see it coming. It threw me off,” before adding he quickly learned to not push back against Trump, and remarking, “I think some people would like me to start a civil war in our party and achieve nothing.” Ryan was quick to point out that he does speak his mind with Trump in private and feels that he has influenced Trump to the extent that policies under the current administration could be worse. “Trust me, I’ve stopped this from being much worse” he admitted. “I can look myself in the mirror at the end of the day and say I avoided that tragedy, I avoided that tragedy, I avoided that tragedy. I advanced this goal, I advanced this goal, I advanced this goal.” But the retiring Republican admitted that he soon learned that Trump could not be completely contained, so he devoted his time to working around the president since his entreaties to the volatile Trump sometimes pushed the president in the opposite direction. With Leibovich commenting, “Ryan tends to speak of the commander in chief as if he were sharing a coping strategy on dealing with a Ritalin-deprived child,” the lawmaker admitted pushing Trump too hard could” boomerang.” “He goes in the other direction, so that’s not effective.” Ryan said, adding, “The pissing match doesn’t work.”
I'm very happy Ryan is retiring as he is not a conservative and is "business as usual" . ---Happy that Flake and Corker are leaving as well. --We need more Jim Jordans and Ron DeSantises
