It’s Just Unconstitutional – Damn It!!!
It is just unconstitutional because I don’t like it or I disagree with it. There is no debate to be made. Damn all those lawyers and the Supreme Court too, if they say it ain’t so.

I saw a debate going on in here about something being unconstitutional and thought I’d sum up their argument for them.
No offense to the Conservative (who doesn’t like being labeled that anyway), but my take on that exchange, is that he was grasping to the “exception to the rule” strategy by saying :
“some interpreters do it wrong”
The same thing can be said of the Bible.
Yet he backs the Bible, all the way.
He went on to say he doesn’t TRUST.
We could say that of our law enforcement too.
See the pattern here? Exceptions to the rule.
My hope is that he can stop being pessimistic and have some more faith in our political system and let the Judicial branch decide what is or isn’t Constitutional.
They are experts for a reason.
Ok, I am going to speak for that conservative…LOL…What my main point with the “EXPERTS” who interpret the Constitution is this. You may have two people who are considered experts on the Constitution that will come to two entirely different conclusions on the interpretation of a portion of the Constitution. Both cannot be right, and one of them will eventually be considered the interpretation that will be used. It may go through the Supreme Court and a judge that may be partial to a certain interpretation will make a ruling on the case. Now if the wrong interpretation that we have put into the hands of one individual is ruled as the actual meaning of the portion of the Constitution, it changes the Constitution forever. That scare me, and it should scare everyone. You must at least consider the possibility that the one who interprets the Constitution and the Judge who rules on the case may lean either to the right or the left, and we are not so naive to not believe that this may in fact play a role in the overall conclusion. We are no longer just having experts give us a better understanding of the Constitution. We are seeing the Constitution being restructured a little at a time to fit the issue before us as a nation. We need to look no further than “The Patriot Act” to see how we are losing our rights and freedoms. My observation and distrust is not based on party affiliation or party agenda. It is based on the incredible amount of trust we put in a few individuals that are willing to change the Constitution, which is the very foundation of this great country. Our government is set up so that we have three branches of government that serve as a checks and balance system to make sure one branch does not control more than they should. This shows that our Founding Fathers did not place total trust in anyone to the point that they were allowed to manipulate this system.
Vic,

hahaha!!!
Ok, all we need to do is realize that an equal split between those experts would be a rarity and then democracy would be doing its job with the majority vote on who agreed with which interpretation.
Amendments were designed for those changes and the founding fathers knew we would run across new challenges with the progression of new ideas and the change society would go through.
Its totally your right to distrust but I am more the optimist.
