You know, that’s exactly what the liberals say about the Constitution. “It’s 2009 (or whatever year) and that musty old thing doesn’t FIT any more, just like my old dress.”
However, this is NOT a liberal forum. It is for CONSERVATIVES. If this is how you feel, your place is three doors down on the LEFT.
That’s nice, but that’s not what I said. I’ll try one more time. The 14th amendment has been interpreted by the supreme court to give the federal government powers over the state that did not exist prior to the civil war.
You may disagree with this, but it has nothing to do with it being 2009, it has to do with the several states approving an amendment to the constitution, and that amendment being interpreted by the supreme court.
And like it or not, the current supreme court continues to consider this constitutional, even the most conservative on this court.
So, until you can give me some way we will appoint 5 members of the court that are more conservative than Antonin Scalia, the current situation will continue to be considered constitutional.
It may be cathartic to scream about how “it’s unconstitutional”, but you won’t accomplish anything doing so, and it doesn’t really advance the discussion. When the Lord comes back, the drug problem will be solved, but saying so doesn’t really advance the conversation either.
