Neil Gorsuch and the Living-document Lie
Canada Free Press ^ | 02/03/17 | Selwyn Duke

We can have a living constitution or a living constitutional republic--but we cannot have both

While leftists are outraged at the idea of banning immigrants who may spit on our Constitution, banning judges who would actually uphold it is a different matter. This brings us to the opposition to President Trump’s Supreme Court pick, Judge Neil Gorsuch, who The New York Times actually calls a “Nominee for a Stolen Seat.” In reality, the Times advocates a perversion of judicial philosophy that long ago had stolen Americans’ birthright.

There are plenty of people right here on Free Republic that embrace the living Constitution.

The Constitution states only a natural born citizen may be President.
That was a well understood term meaning born here of citizen parents, solely an American with no possibility of being anything else.

Because their favorite politician isn’t one they want to stretch that to mean anyone born a citizen, which would include the recently deceased King of Thailand (born here), Winston Churchill ( American on his mother’s side) and every anchor baby with no allegiance to this country or its citizens.

The Constitution contains a very clear process for changing it. Those changes are called Amendments, not judicial fiat.

With the left it isn’t just the constitution that is alive and changing but words themselves.

They constantly redefine words to push their agenda.

They’ve created their own dictionary.

I have never seen the poster reply to anyone.
Maybe a posting bot?
I do like the content at Canada Free Press.

I noticed the same thing some months back, so I took a look at Sean_Anthony's posting history. He posts an average of six articles a day, but has only commented five times in the last two years. Two of those comments were to correct a bad link.

The guy is a click farmer.
