Last week, the Supreme Court eviscerated a woman’s right to abortion, undermined Miranda rights, expanded gun rights and allowed border patrol agents to operate with even further impunity. Today, it ruled that a former Washington state high school football coach can pray on the field immediately after games—regardless of the religious backgrounds of the students.

No, it appears that it was founded by religious kooks and corrupt businessmen.
According to her own logic, the author should be advocating in favor of Republicans and against Democrats.
Well, in March of 1861, The Republicans in congress voted to pass the Corwin Amendment, which would have made slavery permanent in the United States.
So i'm not sure anyone should be trusting them either.
lighten up francis.
hehehe
and they will be judged by history and the Lord.
But see, that takes work. Until recently they were content to work through the courts and let the judiciary rule and thereby issue de facto amendments without all the hassle of the traditional process. Now they see the judiciary turning so it’s The Constitution that must go.
At least they being honest about it now.
Amazing how many people cheered on the Kenyan from Indonesia and other potential usurpers wearing R jerseys.
It’s sad to say but this is what passes for journalism nowadays. The lack of critical thought is pitiful. Candace is a creature of public schooling. The chasm between Candace’s vomitus and the deliberations of the founders is incalculable. Have the marxists succeeded in the destruction of our republic?
The reason they were enslaved was basic inequality and weakness.
The constitution protects all, including those who are weak and unequal
When there is a “Go Fund ME’ to send her to Senegal or Mogadishu-—let me know.
I can find $5 in my Social Security.
GOD made her black.
No one else had anything to do with it.
What part of the constitution codifies murder or robbery?
Such things are "codefied" in state laws of the time, and the Constitution merely recognizes that such laws exist in individual states.
And clearly the constitution recognized slavery as legal when it was written.
It would seem that, the writer of the op-ed/article thinks that, if someone owned slaves, that he/she would be automatically disqualified from writing any part of the constitution or any part of the bill of rights.
She is an idiot.
Get rid of the constitution with 200 million gun owners? That’s beyond stupid. The 13th amendment would be nullified. I’m not a racist, but it would be open Season on blacks. The states again could do whatever they wanted including the registration of all blacks for deportation along with illegals.
Without the constitution, there is no rule of law, no congress, no courts. The everyday man could and would become a vigilante.

Juneteenth End of Slavery
Celebrating Juneteenth as the end of slavery also fulfills the aspirations of delegates to the Constitutional Convention. The founders could not abolish slavery but came closer than often believed. Slavery was retained, but the Constitution only provided to suspend Congressional initiatives until 1808. They expected it to vanish as a matter of moral obligation.
The philosophical doctrines consulted for founding this country already placed master and slave on the same natural plane of existence and only postponed the free exercise of conscience. It was reasonably believed planters would no longer be satisfied with luxuries, indolence, and cruelties, but aspire to the profit, energy, and incentives found in Northern methods of enterprise.
In reading James Madison’s notes, you find no defense of slavery, but two firm denunciations during debates that abhorred the institution. Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania said, “It was a nefarious institution. It was the curse of heaven on states where it prevailed. Compare Middle States where a rich and noble civilization marks prosperity and happiness with….great regions of slaves presenting a desert increasing in proportion to these retched beings”. George Mason of Virginia said, “This infernal traffic originated in the avarice of British merchants…. Slavery discourages arts and manufactures….Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant….They bring the judgement of heaven on a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this”.
As an economically dying institution when the Constitution was approved, it seemed a not intractable problem to settle.
Thanks! Yet another entry in my list of BS words and phrases.

Long live Freedonia!
It appears not. But I'd appreciate any references you can point to in support of your contention.
The Republicans in congress voted to pass the Corwin Amendment, which would have made slavery permanent in the United States.
The Corwin Amendment would not have made slavery permanent in the United States, any more than the Dobbs decision will make abortion permanent in the United States.
The Republicans (and anti-slavery Democrats) had to choose between the reality of secession, which would have done nothing to abolish slavery, and the Corwin Amendment, which also would have done nothing to abolish slavery but at least would have preserved the Union. What do you think the Republicans should have done in this situation?
Men can still have pretend abortions.
1. Were there some members of the Continental Congress who owned slaves? Yes. Was that all or most of the members? No.
2. Were the positions on slavery universal among the members of the Continental Congress? No. There were some who wanted it to be illegal.
3. Was there a compromise position agreed on? Yes. The slave owning states were forced to accept that they would not get representation in Congress for 100% of their state’s population. To reduce their representation their slaves would only be counted as 2/3 a person. The result was the representtative impact of slave owning states was redouced, and over time, that lower represntation in Congress, along with other measures enacted by Congress over the years began to prove fatal to the continuation of slavery.
4. The south revolted when finally slavery was to be doomed by federal measures.
Given any unbiased reading of the words of the Constitution and the brief history I just outlined, it is slander to say “the Constitution was literally written by slave owners”. But we know why Leftists make such claims. Like Pol Pot they must destroy any society they want built on their terms.
You see now, why those on the Left want to tear down our institutions and our history. You can’t re-make something more appealing without painting the Founders as ugly and disconnected with modern thinking.
it’s from the movie stripes.
have a great day.
