Many laws, and especially the US Constitution, have a pretty big range of interpretations.



Not really as much as you'd think. Unfortunately, MSM and the history that's being rewritten, would lead people to believe that the Constitution and the Amendments are... just suggestions.
They aren't.

The founding fathers had an advantage that most older countries didn't have. They had about 4000 years of data about governing, to work with when they created the system that's in use in this country.

Personally, I think the US has done a good job so far. In Under 300 years we're one of the world's three super powers. And, from my point of view, we're the only one the rest of the free world can trust.l

guess that's only true when the shift would be to the left. how very principled of her.

on a different note, her comments regarding climate change should make everyone's (who isn't a science denier) alarm bells ring. she's undeniably a very intelligent person, but allegedly doesn't have an opinion on the overwhelming scientific consensus regarding man made climate change? yeah, let's just pretend we don't understand what that means.

same as her dodging of questions about knowing what trump specifically promised his judges to do concerning medicare for all. of course a political person like herself only recently learned about it, she was entirely oblivious previously. who does she expect to believe that?

i bet if they asked her if she prefered chocolate or vanilla flavour, she would have claimed that she hasn't formed an opinion on that either... what a disgustingly dishonest person. no wonder republicans love her...

it's funny how there isn't a SINGLE issue on which she disagrees with trump.

hmmm... well, maybe not THAT smart after all...


Because she knows very well that Democrats and the MSM would be all over her if she said she prefers vanilla over chocolate. They'd call her racist and claim that she only adopted her two black children from Haiti so they could work on her plantation.


Regarding climate change and all the other policy issues: it has become the standard during these hearings for nominees, both republican and democratic, to not take a position on any contentious policy issues. It only gets them into trouble, and they know it.


That neither herself nor Republicans show any principle on the "nomination shortly before an election"-question is undeniably true. Have fun fapping to their hypocrisy.

u should read a book about the constitution's history rather than just reflexively blaming MSM.

all of the document is up to interpretation almost down to the sentence.

freedom of speech, but then we got libel, slander, hate speech, etc.

right to bear arms and form a militia, but not tanks, grenades, and what exactly is a militia.

as far as rights go, none are perfectly clear in origin or precedent.

the only clear passages are on the specific workings of govt, how congress works, how ties are settled, how new states must be ratified, etc.

its such juicy irony that someone claiming others are rewriting history is doing to say so.

Apparently ACB has lied a lot in her application about speaking engagements and involvement with political activism groups.

This could torpedo her if there is any objectivity in this process.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a SC Judge who ONLY rules by the laws of this country. I'd also rather have MSM that ONLY reports the facts.
But that's just me. I understand there are many idiots that want SC Judges to ignore the laws of this country and serve up rulings based on popular opinion. :/



By your usual logic only Conservatives understand the constitution
Go figure

It's really funny that the origin of the 2nd Amendment is the need to protect the state against an armed militia.

almost all rights have been perverted by time, freedom of speech wasnt meant to mean u can say whatever u want and not face societal repercussions. somehow modern right wingers think if u get caught on a hot mic saying the n word your job should be safe. its idiotic.

You should look up what the Ginsberg rule is before you open your mouth and look dumb.

It was a rule invented by... Joe Biden...
