"For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever!"- Romans 1: 21-25

I think she will. They want to declare the ACA unconstitutional, and despite its flaws, it is better than the old system.

Shouldn’t you be following the originalist view? Only muskets were around when the Const was written.


Umm that is not how that works at all. The second Amendment was to protect the commonly used military guns at the time, today’s equivalent of the Kentucky Long Rifle and Charleville Musket would be the AR-15 and M-14 platforms.

No originalist claims the objective is to use the same technology they had. No originalist claims the Air Force is unconstitutional just because it did not exist in the 1700s.

The Constitution is designed to be flexible on details, hence its minimalist nature.

They actively terrorize the US population by stripping it of its rights, freedoms, and protections and want to reform the US into a modern day Russia. What about that isn't evil?

You know full well that isn't the standard definition of terrorism. Somebody implementing policies you dislike isn't terrorism. It may be poor policy, but there's no reason to dive into hyperbole when what you're proposing is objectively much worse.

I mean, as much as I dislike Trump and the path the Republicans are on, they're not literal terrorists.

Obviously doesn't change the fact I am fervently grateful to not live in the US, but saying they're terrorists is going way too far.

always found it cute when the Left would say things like

"The founding fathers didn't intend for people to have AR-15's! the 2nd amendment isn't so people can carry guns around and be in militias!"

except, if we look, gun control is actually a very very recent thing in American history, most of the United States has been far more pro-gun than it is now.

To get us back on topic, what cases do y'all imagine will come before the SCOTUS in the next few months? And how do y'all think ACB's appointment will impact the rulings of the SCOTUS in those cases?

1. You know full well that isn't the standard definition of terrorism. 2. Somebody implementing policies you dislike isn't terrorism. 3. It may be poor policy, but there's no reason to dive into hyperbole when what you're proposing is objectively much worse.

1. If organizations like Hezbollah can be considered as such despite being a political party I see no reason why the GOP can't be labeled as such.
2. If those policies are made specifically to harm the population, they 100% can and should.
3. It's not a hyperbole, it's a factual statement.

Funny how everyone was all like 'Nah, Roe v Wade is 100% safe' before the confirmation, but now right-wingers feel free to admit the truth of the goals.

All of the ones having to do with minority and women's civil rights, as well as excusing Trump for some type of election fraud he's probably going to participate in or is currently doing so.

Who can say for sure? I obviously hope that she'll help restore more power to the states as well as make rulings from the bench less prominent. In short, I hope she tries to help keep the courts doing what they were meant to do.
