"Is the result absolutely stupid?" If "Yes", then that is not what it means.

I agree, but the "absolutely stupid" can't just be a difference in whether or not something is good policy. That's what judicial activists do - "your interpretation would be really bad policy so our interpretation is correct." And the sad truth is that there are plenty of people who think birthright citizenship for illegals is good policy. The only actual virtue I can see is simplicity of administration.

But those people are stupid dummy heads and their opinions should be ignored.

Seriously, as i've gotten older, I have began to realize there are people who are so lacking in understanding, or so intent on malevolence, that they will advocate absolutely insane views, like "men can become women."

We should absolutely refuse to recognize these opinions as valid opinions. We should state "that is nonsense which we will not entertain", and dismiss those views.

I bitch about the 14th a lot, (because it has been the alleged source of some really stupid court decisions in the past) but I think the 19th amendment was a mistake, I think the 24th amendment was a mistake, and I think the 26th amendment was a mistake.

All of these amendments contribute to dumber, more emotionally driven voters, which have consistently steered the nation towards a dumber direction.
