Trump: My Responsibility ‘Is To Select a Justice Who Will Interpret Constitution as Written’

is exactly what the left, and the sodomite lobby, did when it went to the court in order to neutralise the will of the people as expressed in three separate referendums against sodomite mirage, and that in liberal (at the time, now full-fledged leftist) CA, of all places. This is just one example of leftist judicial activism, and this judicial activism is always from the left, to thwart the will of the people when we don’t get onboard with their “progress” fast enough to suit them.””

Regression is not progress. Progress is kicking the disease-spreading sodomites back into their perversity closets.

In their opinion it’s an outdated document by tyrants.

Whereas in fact it's a timeless document to protect against tyrants.

That is the point that seems strangely beyond the comprehension of libs and activists who might be well intentioned but misguided, and angers those not well intentioned.

I can't think of any case where a country with a reasonable Constitution veered away from it and the end result was good. Germany (Rise of the 3rd Reich) being a perfect example.

That should be in bold.*fixed*

Senator Lee reportedly wrote in Egg McMuffin in 2016, instead of Hillary or Trump.

He’s now reportedly on Trump’s short list for a seat on the SCOTUS.

I’m not in favor of that.

I took at look at Trump’s platform when he announced. So I agree that talk can be cheap. Then I continued to watch him over the months, and he never wavered.

At times he addressed nuance issues that only a die-hard Conservative would even know about. He did that several times. It was pretty amazing to take note of.

There was no doubt this guy was a Conservative, if you were paying attention. Leftists weren’t even aware of some of the things he touched on. You don’t get that out of the blue. You get it from knowing Conservative issues forwards and backwards.

Which many-a-FReeper was not....

Rather than a “like button,” I’d prefer FR add a “Trump” button indicating support for Trump during the campaign.

That way we could quickly identify those who are immune to compelling argument before wasting time on those who confuse “belief” with “opinion.”

[DoughtyOne]

I get what you mean.

Good point.

[Chode]

seems our forefathers were very fluent in the english language and that very little "interpretation" is actually needed if it's in there it's in there, if it's not, it's not

MAGA. It’s a movement but it needed the warrior to enunciate it & to lead the change, and the mastermind to pull it off. I am grateful to have been and to still part of the saving of America. Thanks for your post.

[Sam Gamgee]

Great speech. Now all the “if ands and buts” from the Democrats will reveal they don’t care about the Constitution.

[Sam Gamgee]

Oh, those never Trumpers are still out there...it has to be their pride or ego that keeps them from joining the tent.

All four of the “Progressive Era” amendments were ill-conceived. 18th is gone; 16, 17, and 19 need to go as well.

[Amendment10]

Since many women are supporting themselves, others supporting their families, including being heads of household, the 19th Amendment appropriately gives women representation with taxation. So getting rid of 17th is key imo.

On the other hand, if women voters understood that one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds to define domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (1.8.7), most federal domestic spending programs based on stolen state powers and likewise stolen state revenues, such revenue stealing made easy for corrupt Congress by unconstitutional taxes in conjunction with 16th and 17th Amendments, then women might lose interest in federal issues.

• “Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• ”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

The bottom line is that the states need to eliminate the unconstitutional middleman, the unconstitutionally big federal government, from “helping” the states to manage their powers and revenues by repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendment.
