Breaking: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion Of Gender Equality, Dies At 87

Simple. Because I believe THE CONTITUTION should be interpreted as it was written. I don't believe judges should be passing laws on the belief that it's a "LIVING AND BREATHING" document that can be rewritten because there's a surge in gun deaths or that freedom of speech can be curbed because someone finds it offensive.

But, it was originally written without the 2nd amendment. Does that mean you also think it can be changed?

Good question. You need to understand how the Founding Fathers set up our CONSTITUTION.

They were very smart. They understand that times change and they put in place a measure where the Constitution could be amended. But they din't put it in the hands of the Supreme Court that aren't elected and serve a lifetime on the bench.

No, they required that it be amended only by Congress who are duly elected and can be held accountable. And they made in very difficult and can only be done with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.

Odd because you
ONLY believe parts of the CONSTITUTION when it suits YOU.

Lets take a recent example Congress the house issues a subpoena to the White House for documents
the White House refused to supply them. Congress has a legal right under the Constitution to receive them. But the
White House refused. There YOU GO

Did this go before the Supreme Court? I'm sure you don't know. And if it did go before the court, what did they say?

So, after all of that deflection, you do think it is okay to change the constitution. Got it!

Are you really that obtuse? I never said that The Constitution should never be amended. I said that I don't think the Supreme Court should be making rulings that are not in line with the document as it was written. Three's a process for that.

Hey Billy, don't waste your time arguing with the few Dems on this forum. Do what I did and block them. It's only 3-4 of them. The rest on this forum are Reps and don't want to become socialist!

Look at the thread "just how crazy is trump" and you will see the few Dems on this forum. They are the only ones that respond in that thread. Many on this forum agree with me they are probably the same person talking to themselves to keep thread on first page, how sick is that!

Ha-ha they really think it bothers people to keep Trump threads on first page. NO ONE cares and no one reads their rhetoric. It actually keeps Trump's name out front and will make more vote for him.

No worries they should go away and crawl back under a rock after Nov 3rd when Trump wins. Any normal person would not be able to stay on a forum after 4 years of bashing the president. But remember we are talking about Dem's and we all know they aren't normal.

Prayers going out to RBG’s family and friends.
Out of all the judges on the Supreme Court, her name seemed to be the most iconic (at least in my lifetime).


Ginsburg leaving the court or passing away was and always has been a terrifying thought for democrats during the Trump administration.
They are indeed panicking now.
Support for their party is declining by the day.
They decided to put a half-dead horse in the presidential race.
Their VP pick didn’t boost their support one iota.
Their stance on the violent protests (riots) showed their true colors and ultimately led to more waning support of the party.
And now they are completely distraught (and frankly, FREAKING OUT) over the fact that Trump may get to install his THIRD judge to the SCOTUS.

I do agree with CopierAddict in the sense that I don’t believe any of the judges in the SCOTUS should have a liberal or conservative bias. They should be right down the middle.

Delusional. As of today, the "How Crazy is Donald Trump" thread has 5.14M views, far more than any of CTN thread by more than a factor of 10.
