Ah. I see.

What you "see is an opportunity to misconstrue.

So we’ve moved on from, “the Constitution doesn’t say this, to, “the courts got it wrong”. If you want to change the constitution to read what you want it to say, there’s always the Amending formula. Good luck with that, btw.

I haven't moved anywhere. You've tried three different "synonyms" for "subject" and I didn't bite. It has a very specific legal meaning, but then, given that you apparently prefer a "living Constitution," I'm not surprised at your pathetic stand on a set of opinions you clearly haven't read. BTW, the dissenting opinion was written by Chief Justice Fuller.

Actually, it’s you who refuses to accept what the constitution says. I’m arguing that we should follow the constitution, even when it says something that we don’t like.

Radical, eh?
