Spoken like a true lib.....I could have written that for you. Anonymous2000 Send a noteboard - 12/12/2012 05:08:42 AM
You are scared of allowing the people to decided most issues. If the constitution doesn't mention something, it goes to the states. The founders did create a "living constitution", it's called the amendment process.

You live by the 9 unelected justices, you die by them. All of those rights you talk about can be taken away by the black robes. That's dangerous.

SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia is brilliant, just brilliant - Anonymous2000 - 11/12/2012 05:09:19 AM 1216 Views
WTF does "I don’t care what their intent was. I care what it was that they intended" mean? Joel - 11/12/2012 09:03:23 PM 738 Views
Yeah I read that twice to see if that was right *NM* Dark Knight - 11/12/2012 09:36:55 PM 343 Views
Part of me pities Scalias decline, because he could once nimbly and convincly argue black is white. Joel - 12/12/2012 07:09:56 PM 713 Views

The people of WA and CO just decided pot should be legal; think Scalia agrees? Joel - 12/12/2012 07:25:11 PM 713 Views
FreshMints decided that the almond aroma of radioactive arsenic is very pleasing... HyogaRott - 12/12/2012 08:09:39 PM 748 Views
I am aware of Scalias "logic," and his rejection of it about a year later with Robamacare. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:51:16 PM 722 Views
But you didn't. Dannymac - 13/12/2012 04:06:05 PM 726 Views
Yup, yup; the Constitution is all about majority rule WITH minority rights. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:56:15 PM 681 Views
Your whole rant lacks any logic HyogaRott - 12/12/2012 03:46:34 PM 771 Views
+1 - logic is not his strong suit. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 12/12/2012 04:21:09 PM 297 Views
His comment references the authors (NOT words) intent in both negative and affirmative. Joel - 12/12/2012 06:45:02 PM 696 Views

Only nominally. Joel - 16/12/2012 03:54:38 PM 712 Views
I was stumped by his phrasing as well A Deathwatch Guard - 12/12/2012 09:31:53 PM 604 Views
But we must go by his words and his understanding of their meaning, without interpretation. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:40:23 PM 697 Views
The SCotUS is no place for raging homophobes. Mndrew - 13/12/2012 04:48:30 AM 857 Views
Sorry you don't like it, but what he said is true. HyogaRott - 13/12/2012 03:11:42 PM 747 Views
Lol. Homophobia is synonymous w/ homonegativism. It's not meant to convey a true phobia *NM* kHz1000 - 13/12/2012 03:28:01 PM 414 Views
Only for people who don't know actually know how to read and understand words. Nice spin though. *NM* HyogaRott - 13/12/2012 05:54:29 PM 293 Views
So then what we need is a definition of homophobia? Jeordam - 13/12/2012 09:56:15 PM 786 Views
Re: So then what we need is a definition of homophobia? kHz1000 - 13/12/2012 11:16:46 PM 726 Views
-phobe : Greek -phobos, adj. derivative of phóbos fear, panic HyogaRott - 13/12/2012 11:32:14 PM 746 Views
Do you have a similar problem with "xenophobia?" Because it's exactly the same thing. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 01:30:24 AM 675 Views
xenophobia is the fear of the alien... WTF are you trying to say? HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 03:03:09 AM 740 Views
No. You are patently, objectively incorrect. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 08:39:00 AM 658 Views
An aside. Stephen - 14/12/2012 01:21:32 PM 741 Views
Don't believe me, ask a Greek it is after all THEIR word. I gave you some extra capitals, happy now? *NM* HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 02:56:09 PM 413 Views
stop being obtuse moondog - 14/12/2012 05:10:41 PM 718 Views
Hmmmm lets see, people misuse a word, perverting its meaning... HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 07:29:11 PM 682 Views
If everyone "misuses" a word, that becomes an acceptable use of it. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 10:14:23 PM 680 Views
Re: If everyone "misuses" a word, that becomes an acceptable use of it. Novo - 15/12/2012 12:12:18 AM 792 Views
Always good to have your backing. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/12/2012 03:50:14 AM 365 Views
and if everryone jumps off a cliff to splatter on the rocks I should just be a good little lemming. HyogaRott - 15/12/2012 07:13:27 AM 614 Views
actually, you have already chosen stupid by pretending the word means something it does not moondog - 15/12/2012 03:34:35 PM 639 Views
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, my friend John would strenuously disagree. HyogaRott - 16/12/2012 06:50:19 AM 756 Views
and you are a small-minded buffoon who can't come up with real arguments so you resort to nitpicking moondog - 17/12/2012 11:48:25 PM 683 Views
Double post. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 10:14:50 PM 318 Views
