All you will hear are crickets!
What does that have to do with the ND?
In your opinion, is the ND to be blamed on congress, or the president? Or is it congress under republican president’s and the president if he’s a democrat???
What could you mean, that’s his diet…
Iran-Contra…
Nothing-Burger…
I do appreciate you replying here.
But I disagree.
I am a strong constitutionalist. So if the constitution says something–and I would interpret it according to what it probably meant at the time that it was written–then I would go with that, irrespective of anything else (unless, of course, it has been supplanted by an amendment to the Constitution).
Where is home? Are you a US citizen or not?
What nation is that?
That’s nice, most all of us Americans are. It has been a solid (if not perfect) document that has served America well. It has required a lot of amending because things change, people change, ideology changes, values change.
But to think that a document written by a handful of men a couple centuries ago, trumps human rights that are as old as humanity is quite odd to me.
Human rights were not even a concept until more than a century after our constitution was written.
Lol, well that’s not what happened or what anybody argues their second amendment right to be today.
That is Italy not the US and just because it’s in their constitution doesn’t mean that it’s a human right! It’s an entitlement paid for by the Tax payers!

Yup. So is him having people who he can’t argue with on ignore.
Pretty soon, he’ll be talking to himself. 
He’ll also follow you around from thread to thread reading your arguments and then argue against them in response to someone else.
Pretty pathetic and pathologically dishonest.
He is hardcore troll as they come! He must be getting paid!
No, it is “not perfect.” That is why it has been amended some 27 times (well, really just 25 times, if we consider that the 21st Amendment effectively nullified the 18th Amendment).
But if Americans truly believe that human rights should take us to a place that the US Constitution does not go, then we should simply amend the Constitution–as has frequently been done in the past.

I wouldn’t disagree with that. Unfortunately the country is too polarized and everything is broke, there’s near zero cooperation or cross isle corroboration and compromise. I can’t imagine the constitution will ever be amended again, at least in my lifetime…
A lot of what you say here is true–especially about the lack of compromise nowadays.
But does that make for a good excuse to just thr

A lot of what you have said here is true–especially about the current unwillingness to compromise–but does that really make for a good excuse for our simply ignoring the constitutional process given to us, and therefore circumventing the US Constitution?
Even if the premise is correct, I simply cannot imagine your conclusion.
