SCOTUS decisions

 
Or maybe it's how you take care of children and make America smart and successful again.

Seductive, I know, but flat wrong. And thank goodness for that. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be ruled by 5 lawyers, conservative, liberal, or other.

I’d rather be ruled by 53 senators that represent ~35% of the country’s population and a reality tv “star” elected by 43% of the voters.

"6th circuit holds..."
Thanks for clearing that up. Agree it would be terribly irresponsible to have courts making up laws. Especially in this case where its protecting children. I guess it's a good thing that the 6th circuit simply upheld a law written by duly elected officials saying it was not unconstitutional.

You're so fucking naive that I can't tell if you're trolling. We are all ruled by 5 conservative lawyers who are legislating from the bench right now. It's astonishing you can't see that -- but kudos if you're just pretending not to.
 
Junebug said:
As well you should be. They are accountable every 6 and 4 years, respectively, not to mention the house, which turns over every 2. Clarence Thomas has been on the SCOTUS since 1991.

Agreed, but...

...you also support five conservative lawyers erasing any laws they don't like that are passed by Democrats.
 
Junebug said:
Not true. I support laws being erased that violate the original meaning of the constitution. That's the difference. I support being governed by the constitution, not the whims of 5 lawyers.

Like counting black people as 3/5 of a person?

How about "a well regulated militia" being the meaning for gun ownership not something interpreted centuries later?

Can I please get a drive by junebugging since you conveniently remain silent?
 
I mean yeah the civil war is a good argument against originalism but don’t let that stop you.
