"The SCOTUS doesn't see it that way and I'd venture a guess that they know more about the constitution...and its history...than you and I put together. :-)"
That is a logically fallacious argument known as "appeal to authority". The Supreme Court might know about U.S. history, but they have clearly chosen to ignore it in favor of their own interpretation. The National Archives and preserved words of our nation's founding fathers (i.e. "the facts") clearly show the truth of what I and others have stated concerning the original meaning of the Constitution. Many Justices of the Supreme Court have chosen to espouse their own personal ideologies rather than abide by the principles upon which this nation was founded. The judicial branch is overstepping its role as originally set forth, creating de facto laws rather than checking the executive and legislative branches of the Federal government of the United States.
