No it isn't. As they do in fact use the 14th to create "gay marriage", abortion on demand, "anchor babies", ban prayer in public schools, and a whole host of wrong headed destructive ideas, it is in fact possible to use the 14th to do it.
That is the reality we live in.
And that is why I say, It is unclear to me why the doctrine of the living and breathing constitution is so popular with conservatives. You're doing it right now. Right here, right now.
Pointing out that liberals are abusing the 14th amendment is not the same as believing in a "living constitution." It is drawing attention to the fact that liberals see it that way.
Me noticing that liberals are letting illegal aliens come into the country does not make me a supporter of illegal aliens. Noticing things is not the same as supporting things.
Well I do anyways. You're doing everything in your power not to say it.
"As they do in fact use the 14th to create "gay marriage", abortion on demand, "anchor babies", ban prayer in public schools, and a whole host of wrong headed destructive ideas, it is in fact possible to use the 14th to do it."
Nope. Not possible. A slavery amendment after a war not fought over gay marriages would not do and could not do that. It's literally and actually and factually not possible. Only lies by people in power with an alternate agenda could create these things. Plenty of lies coming from progressives.
Here is what really happens. Progressives use thin air and whole cloth to create "gay marriage", abortion on demand, "anchor babies", ban prayer in public schools, and a whole host of wrong headed destructive ideas since it is not possible to use the 14th to do it. They just lump a lie on top of it like a cherry on ice cream. I'm sorry to wreck your reality, but there it is.
"Pointing out that liberals are abusing the 14th amendment is not the same as believing in a "living constitution.""
Enabling is the same. People go to jail for giving loaded guns to those with a history of suicide attempts and a known desire to do it again. Even moreso people also go to jail for hiring hitmen to off their spouse. "But I personally never killed anybody!" Tell your cellmate that you personally never killed anybody.
If you're going to enable the living constitution you're a supporter of it. You can't keep saying "and they used it like a hammer" and other such similar statements deeply rooted in a faithful trust while saying you hold a deep distrust of the very same thing. It can't be both.
Just don't be surprised when you get called out for trying to have it both ways.
