    Disagree, but I do agree on the fact we all have the right to bare arms.

    Actually, there have been many laws enacted to clarify many of the issues you mentioned above because clarification was needed on those issues. LOL

    I'm talking about from a strictly originalist viewpoint, you would not interpret the Constitution based on anything that did not exist at the time of its writing. Here is the definition of originalism again. : a legal philosophy that the words in documents and especially the U.S. Constitution...

    Who said arms weren't around back then? As an originalist, you should know you can have all the 1700's era long rifles, artillery, warships, bayonets, catapults, and slingshots that you want. That was the technology that was around at the time and the frame of reference that the founding...

    I'll break it down for you even slower, Those weapons were not around then. Call it semantics all you want, but you are taking the "living Constitution" point of view in this one particular area. :cool:

    What does that have to do with today's weapon technology not being around in the late 1700's and therefore impossible to include them as being protected by the Constitution using the legal philosophy of "originalism"? Go ahead and get as many 1700's cannons as you like. They could actually be...

    Actually, it would be non-originalist to think any portion of the Constitution would cover any firearm technology that was not available at the time that it was written. orig·i·nal·ism ə-ˈri-jə-nə-ˌli-zəm -ˈrij-nə- US law : a legal philosophy that the words in documents and especially the...

    Just an observation, but isn't it interesting how so many who follow the tenet of "Constitutional Originalism" pick and choose where they deem it appropriate? The one place they seemingly forget about it is when it comes to the topic of the 2nd Amendment.

    Health care practictioners who are adequately trained and licensed in it. Actually in reading New York's state law, I actually like it. 24 weeks without restriction and from then on if the mother's life is in danger or the baby won't reach viability. Again, doctors won't perform abortions if...

    With the exceptions basically only being when the life of the mother is in danger, that is in essentially a ban on abortion. We'll see how this pans out over the next year or so when there are more real-life examples of arrests, having to go out of state, etc.

    You are so right. Then again, that would involve working together It's been 20 years since bipartisanship was in vogue and that was only due to 9/11.

    13 states have it as 100% illegal. Georgia has it illegal after 6 weeks. A woman could think she was having a late period and miss that deadline. 10 other states have bans on hold with the courts.

    I wouldn't bet on that. If enough women are forced to go across statelines or worry about facing jail time in coming back to their home state after the procedure, it will be an issue again.

    SCOTUS decisions are not Executive Orders. Being that justices have lifelong terms, they are much more difficult to overturn than once every 4 years. And being that each justice has been asked if they will abide by legal precedent and basically lied in many people's eyes, SCOTUS is now viewed...

    You are right. It is not a formally written right. However, for 50 years it was determined to be protected as part of the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment and its "Right to Privacy". So, yes it was determined to be a right by one SCOTUS and 50 years later that decision was reversed by...

    There are self-hating **** out there. They grew up in an environment where the thought of being *** is worse than being a murderer (and the viral video of this guy's Dad literally fits that description). Their environment tells them being *** is a choice. This would be far from the first time...

    I understand where you are coming from. I will say there were a couple of kids in school we could tell were extremely effeminate as far back as kindergarten. So, I'm not sure whether it would be something biological or learned. I have the same hunch that the shooter was somewhere on that...
