The Slave doesn’t dream of freedom, he dreams of being Master.
SCOTUS does not represent the people. It's job is to represent the Constitution.
Therein lies the proof of the Left's failure to understand this country, and why they want to change it...
Yes. It is. It’s extremely dangerous.
To the very people it was designed to shield us from.
To those that would trample all over our inalienable rights, under God.
The world is now a real-time, global, and multilingual entity - where anything and everything can be observed, and reported by, everyone....enabled by the internet. The inevitable result is that it has become a global battleground and the first casualty is ‘free speech’. The only place, apparently, where it is enshrined into a higher law is the USA. It doesn’t exist elsewhere, so the tactics that other countries are engaging in to crush dissenting voices is creeping into our politics. We’re the last place to resist collectivism, that individual rights are paramount, they come FIRST, and are in the BEST INTERESTS of the collective.
We’re witnessing a collective and global evil. I’m ashamed of where the UK has arrived to and where it is headed. Being born and raised there, I remember so many people proud of it being a ‘free country’ and being a bastion of ‘free speech’. And yes, it WAS...but by CULTURE, not law. There is no 1A there and the new, far left, government is throwing people in prison for speech they don’t like. Tyranny is exposed, they have no 2A, and believe there’s little they can do.
The USA, along with its Constitution, is a beacon of light that is shining brighter than ever - so long as we don’t allow that light to be extinguished by those that consider it ‘dangerous’. Our answer to anyone saying such should just be “you’re a TYRANT”. Say it loud. Say it often.

I no longer call myself a conservative.
I am now a strict constitutionalist.
Why?
The constitution pisses off liberals.
The constitution pisses off conservatives.
The constitution, as written, pisses everyone off.
That’s what keeps us on our toes.
SOME PEOPLE NEED TO GO BACK TO AROUND THE 2nd GRADE & REPEAT ALL THOSE CLASSES ABOUT OUR HISTORY.
SOME PEOPLE NEED TO GO BACK TO AROUND THE 2nd GRADE & REPEAT ALL THOSE CLASSES ABOUT OUR HISTORY.
Or just watch those “Schoolhouse Rock” videos.
How is the Constitution standing in their way? Nobody bothers to enforce what’s in it anyway. RATS have been bastardizing the Constitution for decades with impunity.
The Constitution is dangerous only to despots.
Old Karl..the author ..is a prime example.

“One of the biggest threats to America’s politics might be the country’s founding document.”
Then you are doing “politics” wrong.
There seems to be a trend.
