Constitution? What's that...?

• Pfhreak 6y ago
  Same thing it's always been: a tool you can deploy when you want your cause to appear righteous. Both parties believe they are supporting the constitution full throatedly and both ignore it when it is inconvenient. (Or they argue, "what it really says it's...") None of the presidential administrations I've been alive for have particularly cared about upholding it.

  It’s whatever the Supreme Court says it is.

    Supreme court decisions have been ignored many times in the past. Enforcement can be selective: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcester_v._Georgia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcester_v._Georgia

  If we're not willing to protect our rights, then, this is what we deserve.
