  1. I wish my Senators were anything like him.
  2. Crenshaw is not a senator and his vision is somewhat obstructed. He, and Lankford for that matter, don’t rate highly among conservatives. He sounds like the typical “we have to do something, even if it’s wrong” type that we don’t want to follow. There were no new laws passed between the time Trump was in office and now. The difference is Biden. I’d bet ten dollars to a donut hole that if Biden put Trump in control of the border right now, he’d shut it down. Because he wants it shut down. That’s the difference.
  3. Maybe they’ll draft Amy Klobuchar to run again.
  4. Income tax, mostly.
  5. I may have neglected to mention comprehensionist, believing it to be obvious.
  6. Do you not comprehend the principle of the Bill of Rights?
  7. Some people think Hamas is getting stronger. Every day. So does Hamas support Netanyahu? #unconditionalsurrender
  8. You’ve yet to learn that labeling people can be unreliable? Originalism has been practiced since the document was written, and overlaps with textualism. I’ve made none of the arguments you’ve expressed, and the Constitution has required zero amendments to deal with the Industrial Revolution because it addresses the policy of limited government and liberty, not tools. Modern ideology is the concept that describes it as a living document or a relic. In their wisdom, the authors, original and subsequent, strove to relay the concept without exacting limitations.
  9. I disagree with the qualifications of Republican, and they certainly were not originalist.
  10. In some cases -statute, when a statute conflicts with the Constitution - amendment.
  11. Invasion?
  12. Data shows that even under Hamas accounting, non-combatant casualty rates are far below the level of Iraq and Afghanistan.
  13. Yes, a beauty of the thing is that it has proven adaptable, but the necessity is to prevent its modification sans the legitimate process, as the leftist justices are wont to do.
  14. No connection beyond rejection.
  15. I’m aware of enough of our history to know that scholars have gone to great lengths to discern the intent of the founders. This effort has gone on since before Marbury v. Madison. Whether by the qualifying term of originalist or not. There are libraries of their contemporaneous writings, laws, and negotiations, as well as progressive records of subsequent studies. Enough so that it is rare to read a Court decision without finding references to the intent of the writer’s referenced provision.
  16. Now you’re just making stuff up.
  17. That’s reassuring. [sarc]
  18. Buzz off.
  19. It’s something everyone does occasionally. With Biden, it’s more often than not.
  20. Generally, this is satisfied during a lengthy, vigorous campaign, but we can’t really rely on that or an honest press to convey the truth.
  21. Recognition? No physical sensation whatsoever.
