Democrats Give Away the Game: They Want the Supreme Court to - Unilaterally Amend the Constitution
PJ Media ^ | October 27, 2020 | TYLER O'NEIL

Posted on 10/27/2020 1:33:38 PM PDT by gattaca

Democrats are terrified that the Supreme Court will return to deciding cases based on the clear meaning of the Constitution and the laws duly passed by Congress, rather than usurping power to ram through a leftist agenda in the name of preserving “rights” the Founders had never conceived of. Yet Americans aren’t exactly keen on handing unlimited power to nine super-legislators in black robes.

In order to prevent a restoration of the Supreme Court’s proper role in America’s constitutional republic, Democrats have to hide their true intentions. They have to convince Americans that originalism does not mean a return to the Constitution’s rules of fair play but rather something else. No Democrat has proved quite as shameless as Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) in this regard.

Ginsburg passing away when she did? God’s hand is in this. I truly believe that.

As I’ve heard said: the Constitution is just a set of recommendations and a living,evolving document.

Too bad John Roberts has gone over to the dark side. Instead of a 6-3 majority, we’ve only got a 5-4 majority.

Why have a messy participatory constitutional convention when if you have a 5 member liberal majority on the supreme court, you can amend the constitution behind doors within a few days

Too bad demonrats.
Trump is undoing all of your commie laws and draining your swamp land.
OBAMA was THE WORST president in history.
He can’t find more than 10 people to listen to his commie rallies anymore.
He was A DIVIDER and a RIP-OFF.
So GFY.
Your commie takeover, racism and green job gravy train IS NEVER COMING BACK.

The left soured on constitutional amendments after their high water mark in the Progressive Era. Now, with a ‘living’ constitution emanating penumbras all that seems just too much hard work. It’s much easier, a la John Roberts, to just deem the Constitution to be whatever the he77 you want at the moment.

Maybe John will have a debilitating epileptic incident and have to be replaced by Trump in his second term?

I agree - I was ringing doorbells for Trump and an old woman gave me one of her rosaries so I could pray for Trump. At the Trump car rally, a guy gave me a Trump camo hat

IF THERE’S A DEMONOCRAT RUNNING FOR CONGRESS OM YOUR AREA CLAIMING THEY’RE CONSERVATIVE THEY’RE LIARS THIS IS WHAT TRULY HAPPENS IF THEY ARE

FORCE Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls’ Sports...Any Dem congressman who didn’t support this got kicked out by holding their primary in remapped districts. Why isn’t this an issue in this 2020 campaign by the Republicans ?

.. Democratic candidate for America’s Vice President California Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would that would force funding public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams.

In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3873820/posts
.Also did this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3877896/posts and this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3880192/posts

.. HERE’S HOW THEY TREAT CONSERVATIVE CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS WHO DONT SUPPORT FUNDING STUFF LIKE THIS

.. And why there is no such thing as a Conservative Dem in Congress An example is Illinois 3rd district
.. Todays Democrats weren’t happy with this father then son votes against abortion and the son’s being the only congressional democrat to vote NO on allowing men to to call themselves a women and compete with women in college sports. To stop this the demoncrats decided to remap the areas which supported them for their primary. The ward (the 23rd) and the congressional district formerly the 5th which they changed into being the 3rd Illinois congressional by taking ward areas which are dominated by hispanic fore names and placing them into the Louis Gutierez district.

In the reshaped 3rd Congressional district primary Daniel Lipinski lost because of redistricting. Of a district which had previously included adjacent Chicago city wards to his 23rd. which was “re-mapped in 2012 after former alderman and ward committeeman now congressman William O Lipinski annouced his retirement and wanted his son for his congressional replacement .

The remap was replacing ward boundaries of the 14th known as the stockyards which had experienced demographic changes. They chopped up and called sections of not only the 23 rd but the of adjacent 12th and 15th wards now the 14th ward

Where because Chicago alderman oversee routing of such things as garbage collections it affected getting city services . Some have complained of seeing rodents since as well as complained of poor road maintainence in their distrct.Now with this remap if your residence was in one ward. Now has your neighbor across the street or a block down is in another ward

.. The 5th was a district in the 1950’s which was a part of the third largest school district in the country run by the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago. Those city wards were primarily composed of dozens of traditional value family oriented Catholic/Christian communities centered around their churches and their schools. Hence opposed to funding such things as abortion and LGBT activities rather for issues that dealt exclusively with city issues such as a subway L service and the Stevenson Expressway.

Those Wards once were reliable supporters of Dan’s father, William O Lipinski. But after the 2012 redistricting the number of precincts in the 23rd were cut back to 39 and even their ward headquarters location was stuck in another ward.

And where many wards had areas with hispanic last names those areas were redistricted and assigned to the Louis Gutieriez’s district. Where areas where buildings were abandoned affected by the no money down home mortgages or had changed because of this. The ward such as the 14th known as Back of The Yards because of the former stock yards which has since relocated was remapped to include portions of other wards mainly the 23rd which Those results are posted below which actually tear up the concept of a neighborhood and pit people against each other by using division.

In some of those wards areas of city blocks which were zoned exclusively for single family dwellings residents suddenly found their neighborhood having houses torn down and being replaced with multiple apartments with the units not required to furnish parking facilities and many renters were illegals. Much of which fit the plans for the suburbs

Below is the post of the day and maybe of the week!:

What they are really saying is that the US Constitution no longer fits their twisted thoughts on modern society. They want judicial activism to allow them to declare up is down, right is wrong, and night is day. Or any variation they so choose!...

""The presidency doesn't change who you are. It reveals who you are," Mr. Obama said. "And Joe time and time again has shown himself to be a man of principle and character, and he's going to be a great president."

The usual bunch of Ca-Ca.... Obama is behind the "silent coups" and has been from the middle of his term....Obama almost dragged the nation across the Socialist line in his eight years...the entire left and some on the right have been fighting this POTUS mercilessly 24/7 for President Trump's entire time as POTUS.

NO TO SOCIALISM!
NO TO BIDEN/HARRIS...
THEY EMBRACE SOCIALISM&MARXISM.

If his vote has been corrupted and compromised, he needs to be impeached and removed. Our government needs to be a shining example of goodness “on a hill,” not festering poo that’s been swept under a rug.

Last night on Fox they played a clip of Biden saying how now the SCOTUS was “out of whack with the will of the people and needs to be fixed”

That’s at least as bad to me as his gaffes about shutting down the oil industry. The USA is only great for the fact that we are a Nation of laws, we have a Constitution that protects America and Americans.

The Constitution should be, and is, very hard to change specifically so that it DOESN”T meet the whims of a fickle population at any one given moment in time.

“Instead of a 6-3 majority, we’ve only got a 5-4 majority.”

Good enough — for now. Let PDJT win in 2016. Let him start his next term in 2021. Let Thomas retire in 2022. Ta da! 6-3 majority.

And how is Sotomayor feeling?
