The people can elect both the Executive and Senate. Congress can impeach the judiciary. States and Congress can pass Amendments to the Constitution. There is not closed exclusive access to the Constitution. This stuff is taught in grade school for crying out loud. This is basic civics." Quote

The illogical logic was a give away. 1 Quote The Rules for Liberal tactics: If they can't refute the content, attack the source. If they can't refute the content, attack the poster. If 1 and 2 fail, pretend it never happened. Everyone you disagree with is Hitler. A word is defined by the emotion it elicits and not the actual definition. If they are wrong, blame the opponent. If a liberal policy didn't work, it's a conservatives fault and vice versa. If all else fails, just be angry.
impartialobserver Posted September 5, 2024 Report Posted September 5, 2024 as with all things.. folks can't make up their minds. Should something from the past be interpreted strictly literally or should be the context be taken into account. As with all things, the approach changes depending on which furthers the agenda. Nothing that most people do not already know . Quote

And the question is then: who gets to decide? If this trend is allowed to run its course we'll end up with a bunch of old folk in fancy robes rolling the dice, reading coffee, stars or any other fancy way to decide, today we'll be reading it literally but tomorrow discover a hidden intent that they just couldn't formulate themselves. And would it be any new either? No way. Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant
