What does “reinterpretation” mean? It means you take the same words in the Constitution, and apply a different meaning to them. If you can do that, the Constitution only means what you want it to mean, when you want it to mean it.

In which case, the Constitution means nothing. However, we all know that the Constitution does not mean nothing. It therefore follows, that this leftist approach to interpreting the Constitution is logically flawed.

SLIGHT correction: same words in the Constitution, that interfere w/ their wants/agenda.

They’ll *never* “re-interpret”: being stopped by the cops (on their way to ‘cast a vote’) or their pension/bennies/protections or (which I STILL don’t understand how they get away w/ this) ‘exclusions’ in enforcement of the Law

Course, I note no better from the (R)N(C) either...
