    Because there's more to constitutionality than the constitution. There's rulings on the constitution and the SCOTUS takes into account writings by the founding fathers to help decipher meanings. There are restrictions on the government. Either you are not comprehending what I'm saying, or I'm doing a poor job at explaining it.
    No, there's really not. There's the constitution. Anything not in there is inherently unconstitutional. The hint is in the word. The SC can and has been wrong repeatedly and has granted it's own power in violation of it's charter as far back as Marbury vs Madison. And you're wrong. We currently have justices on that court that have stated that the constitution isn't the only thing to take into account. International law and cultural norms should be as well, which is absolutely wrong.

    It's probably a bit of both. The Constitution IS the end all as far as federal powers. The SC has acted in violation of their authority repeatedly as has congress. We would be 100% within our authority as citizens to remove them all and replace them with those who would honor the Constitution. The SC isn't even supposed to have a life long membership. That's one of those things that were decided was best without constitutional authority.


    One more thing. The Supreme Court DIDN'T strike down internment. They upheld it in 1944. From what I'm reading, it's still on the books that internment is legal.

    On December 18, 1944, the Supreme Court of the United States clarified the legality of the exclusion process under Order 9066 by handing down two decisions. Korematsu v. United States, a 6–3 decision, stated that the exclusion process in general was constitutional. Ex parte Endo unanimously declared that loyal citizens of the United States, regardless of cultural descent, could not be detained without cause.

      Fuck this unseen troll job!

      Frost, you're being strummed like a guitar.
      Sean, good playing, Bro.

      As thread starter, I beg of you all to see the seriousness of why this thread was made. However, if everyone else is burned out with politics and would rather bicker amongst yourselves for a shred of satisfaction, go right ahead.

      Jaeger will stand strongly beside me while I figure out a plan that best suits the needs of everyone.

          Thank you.

          If I may delegate for a second....

          Frost can you focus your time to be an objectionable researcher?

          I know we don't have a definitive list of people running for offices here in Texas, but we do have internet rumors. I made a small list of the closest to true runners I know of. I would provide more info, but my job and family life keep me from focusing hardcore on the subject.

          People like me will be relying on second hand information. I beg of people with relentless focus, such as yourself, to help me weed through bullshit. This doesn't mean you have free reign to guide my decisions. I fact check when I feel I'm being pulled. I simply ask you to help bring information to this round table.
