It doesn't. That's the point I'm making. The Constitution is left purposefully vague and the courts are the interpreters of their vagueness. Their interpretation changes what the Constitution "means" if not what it says.

OK, all you have to do is to get 2/3rds of the country to agree with you. That, might be a real challenge.


My complaint is partially that the constitution is too immutable. Pointing out it would be hard to change seems like it bolsters my point.

Fred is a dual-major... History Teacher and Lawyer, which is uniquely special in its own way.




...and apparently nearly everyone here is some kind of secret master musician. I still can't get over that part.

Haha... Williegoat is the musician, he writes a lot of good music. I play the violin (have since I was 5), but I cannot compose music... just wasn't meant to be, haha.

I think he was referring to someone who recently posted an AI generated song and claimed it as his own work.

Some on here are full of crap. Some of us have been around long enough to know who.

I'm sure there are lots of talented people on this forum. I'm not saying I'm something others are not. But when someone calls me "blind" I correct them.

Respectfully, you do say a lot of things, and then never follow up when challenged, which is fine... there's really no point (if we're being honest).

It was great, wasn't it! Thanks for the opportunity to post it again for anyone who might've missed it.

In a world where the truth can be bent,
Was a politician, Trump, quite content.
But one night, in a slump,
He paid for some rump,
And the scandal left him in torment.

Oh, Trump had a fondness, it's true,
For paying the ladies their due.
A frequent John, he'd boast,
In headlines coast to coast,
His exploits a well-known taboo.

But fate had a twist to unfold,
As the story of Trump became old.
He lost his grand spree,
From an itch, venereally,
And his downfall was publicly told.

They can not make law, only interpret the Constitutionality of laws made by legislatures.

I try to make my statements stand alone. I do tend to ask a lot of hypothetical questions. Challenge me.

So you are fine with slavery and treating women as property to be sold into polygamist marriage by their fathers?


All of that is "moral"?
