Justice Antonin Scalia found dead

Hunh.

So we "live in the real world," but wasnt Scalia the one that favored a "dead" constitution as opposed to it being a living document?

FWAAA-- Don't feel bad; Ginsberg was probably the safe bet...

Its not a living document. Thats some BS you liberals came up with to twist its wordings to fit some crazy stupid liberal idea.

You said we live in the real,world, yet are lauding someone who advocated for a dead constitution. That's some serious dissonance.

Living document meaning 'we can change the stuff we don't like' instead of adhering to the rules set forth which have worked for quite a while.
 
A liberal euphemism for dealing with the rule of law as opposed to rule of men, which they prefer.

Constitution: Dead or alive?
 
The Constitution is not a living organism, it is a legal document. It says something and doesn’t say other things.”
 
As with a living organism, if law does not adapt, it dies. It becomes a dead letter — instead of a living thing. The logical opposite of a living Constitution is a dead one.

Good news; we can change the stuff we don't like. In fact, we've already done it several times...

So you're against adapting, even if it means progress? Keep that in mind as you head to the polls next month.

What part of legal document are you having a hard time understanding?
 
Like they said about Obama, its not so much him, its the people that vote for him that are worse.
 
You my friend are one of them.

None. It's the dissonance that oozes from everyone of your posts that I'm curious about...

Just be glad "some people" didn't see the Constitution as static and "voted" to give you the right to, well, vote...

You're showing your constitutional ignorance again.

 

[Kev3188]

Not really.

I'm fully aware of that. That's the process created and outlined over 200 years ago within the 'dead' document.
 
Just remember what Clara Peller said several decades ago.......

Another inference nicely worked in...

Laughed 'cause I got it, bummed 'cause I'm old enough to do so...

Well, you have to understand.  Townpete has had his panties in a wad ever since he found out some Communists sneaked into the country and passed that socialist amendment that outlawed slavery.  Then they sneaked in again and passed that socialist amendment that allows women to vote.  Townpete knows for a fact that if the Founding Fathers had meant for women to vote or for slavery to be illegal that would have been in the first draft of the Constitution.
