I would like, out of politeness and manners, for you to acknowledge that you came in here demanding that the very second amendment of no less than the US constitution said, in plain text, something different than it does.
And, if you are brave, I would like you to admit that you did it on purpose, for political agendas.
We are treating the constitution the way judges do: like the most basic, fundamental law.
You see, in law, there often happens that two laws contradict eachother. The way a judge decides which applies and which is illegal is they look at which outranks the other.
And the constitution trumps everything. That is why amending it is difficult, though it has been done. It is the basis, the constitutional document, of the law of the United States.
The law isn’t about priorities. It is about strict rank.
The constitution outranks any other law. If you don’t like a constitutional law, you cannot just pass a new law to abolish it. You have to amend the constitution itself.
i think that kids rights to guns should not be infringed and that public officials shouldn’t be allowed to profit from their office since i love the constitution did you see trump hawking goya beans
tell this to prolife red states that keep spending millions in taxpayer $ every year to try and get a case to scotus to overturn roe they want to legislate their way out of established precedent
Me and phoneutria were having a discussion a while back, about why judges should all of them be people that consider their job to be to obey the law and enforce it as written, not to interpret it with a preexisting bias.
She insisted there has to be a balance, between Democrat appointees and Republican ones. Because there has to be a balance. This thread is why that is a mistake.
Just to remind you of the main idea why Democrats cannot be allowed near judge appointments:
Trump’s appointees aren’t perfect human beings. And they may not every time manage to be perfectly objective. But, unlike Democrat appointees, they actually honestly believe their job to be to follow the law as it was written, not to interpret based on a preexisting bias. Again, they may have biases of their own, that isn’t the point being made. The point being made is that at the very fucking least they have to think of that as their jobs.
Otherwise it’s just Soviet Russia, or Venezuela. The law is just a kind of religious artifact to be waved in one’s hand as one does what one pleases.
