This is pathetic

The man carries a well used copy of THE CONSTITUTION isn't that enough?

And the Regressives feel we ought to ignore it.

Sam somewhere around the house here are pocket constitutions from both LaRue Tactical and the ACLU. So I'd say simply being in possession of the text is not enough. For all you know he made a flip book out it showing a guy downing 5 brewskis in a row and passing out! You need to look at his decisions to see where his sensibilities lay. This gets at one of the problems I see with modern conservatism. The ranks are fleshed out by working class people who don't really understand what they're getting or not getting with some of these judicial appointments.

Consider: is Social Security constitutional?

Togor you have been out in the sun too long and your hat is getting a little tight I see. Go sit in the shade son and take a rest...you need it.

Notice how when things get a bit difficult for him, he introduces a new issue in an attempt to derail the thread?

If he really wanted to talk what your favorite gun is, or if Social Security is constitutional, he'd start a new thread

Didn't Joe McCarthy say similar things?

At least he contributes to a thread Sir, with something to read and agree or disagree on ... not some endlessly foolish troll fonzanoon Nazi Socialist crap because there is nothing else to offer ...

know what I mean ?

Hey is it my fault if you guys can't follow an argument and let it develop? I'll say no it isn't, that you guys are just too quick to rush to right & wrong and have limited attention spans.

The first point is that both the left and the right can argue from the Constitution. The left often wins in Federal court. The conclusion you have is that it must be because the judges are heavily biased, but if you actually read the document, you see that it is actually a fairly liberal document in the plain reading of it. This idea that textualism only favors the right is a canard.

The second point, regarding Social Security. Go back and read the case history from the 1930's. Now look at recent rulings from the court, such as Corporations being people. It would not surprise me at all if this new wave of judges, which is chipping away at Obamacare case by case, wouldn't do the same to Social Security if given a chance. A lot has happened in 80 years of case law. If the right case were to come along, say if the program is running into financial trouble, then who knows what the courts do with it. Unions could also go under the knife. Sometimes it takes years, or decades, for the right case. But the law is patient.

Like I said previously on another thread. Push him into a corner and instead of crickets chirping he will start talking about Trumps bone spurs.

So who has who in their snowflake filter? I see everything that gets posted. You don't. Advantage togor.

If you don't know what you mean, how do we? Again, if you got your water above your herd perhaps you wouldn't have a memory lapse. For Pebbles the first thing to go is his memory and now he is asking, 'Know what I mean?"

IIRC current medical opinion on Lord Randolph Churchill's problems is it was a series of strokes.

Yes I see that you're right in saying that Syphillis is now off the list of likely explanations for Lord Randolph's affliction. Of course in those days some of the treatments brought their own side effects. A Golden Age of Medicine it surely wasn't. In any event the Churchills were a good example of being in the ruling class while not blessed with a large and enduring fortune.

Well I started the thread so.....getting back on track I think the guy is an emotional train wreck. Just my opinion from what I observed and frankly I think he could have some serious mental issues.

[blackhawknj]

Neither Jennie Jerome nor her sons Winston and John showed any trace of infection. Implying it was VD for Lord Randolph was a good smear tactic.
