Ever notice that when the federal government requires States to do stuff we don't like, we're all about the independence of States and against Federal overreach, but when States do stuff we don't like - we want the federal government to step in and put a stop to it? You know, like whining about how the Fed required Title ix stuff to be applied - but wanted the Fed to tell States how to handle i******s. Yeah, like that. Either we want the Federal Government to stay out of our business, or we want them in our business (or should I say in YOUR business), it can't be both.

Ever notice that we pretend that our justice system is blind to color, race, religion or political party, only when we agree with the courts decisions? When we don't like their rulings, we accuse the judges of being activists if they're a member of the "other" party, or t*****rs if they belong to ours. Then, we crow like mad when we think our courts are full of folks who think like we do. We don't really want judges to follow the Constitution, we want them to interpret it to say what we want it to say.

Ever notice that we clamor about following the Constitution, as long as it agrees with what we want? To ensure that it always says what we want it to say, we do our level best to make sure that the highest courts in the land have partisans on the bench. We don't let the Constitution determine our ideology, we try to force the Constitution to conform to our ideology. Personally, I think that is indicative of a mental illness.

Ever notice that when v**es go how we like, our polling system is perfect, but when they don't, it MUST be due to v***r f***d and/or a messed up system? I've seen people react both ways.............in the same e******n cycle. How can we have 100% legitimate v**es...............and................v***r f***d occurring on the same b****t? This is just more evidence of a mental malady.

Yes, it can be both, because immigration is in the purview of the federal government. The 10th amendment is pretty clear about this. Unfortunately, we weakened the states with the Progressives passage of the 17th Amendment to increase their vision of democracy instead of republicanism. We use to say "The UNITED STATES of America." Now it is "The United States of AMERICA" with the emphasis on the whole (the Federal Government) instead of a union of STATES.

It's not a mental malady. It's imprecise or wrong thinking because democracy is messy and we have trouble figuring it out. But it is better than any other system.

Yes...I have noticed. I think it's just human nature.
What I've really noticed that I've never seen before, and this may also reflect my own human nature, is that the most powerful man in the world, the US president, is not very powerful. Anything he wants to do can be stopped not by the other two equally powerful branches of of the federal government, or by a federal judge, but by a state judge.

Thats the way its always been.

No one is objective or without bias and as such the Constitution will always be made to conform to ideology.

LOL it's not mental illness...it's just human nature.

With that said, when decisions are made that are not mostly for the people, then no matter who, it should be questioned and not be complacent.

Yes, that was the intention, but when all branches fall under one party we are susceptible to bias governing and vulnerabilities, as we have seen, this would be a good time to foolproof our constitution and balanced governing with remedies that could be implemented into the constitution to prevent it.

The Constitution is what it is but it seems everyone views it a different way. The Second Amendment is in plain English yet we have over 2,500 state laws that go against it. That goes for the Fourth Amendment and everyone except maybe the Third. Look at states as California and New York. States like that need invaded and their political leaders jailed.

Well, first of all, most people don't realize that there are more words in the 2nd amendment than just "the rights of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon". Complete sentences and complete paragraphs are what communicates ideas and intent. That being said, what does the first part of the 2nd "being necessary for the security of the States" and " a well regulated m*****a " mean?

Do you know what the word "m*****a" meant during the time of the founders?

How's this: 'Back in the 18th century, a “regular” army meant an army that had standard military equipment. So a “well regulated” army was simply one that was “well equipped” and organized. It does not refer to a professional army. The 17th century folks used the term “standing army” or “regulars” to describe a professional army. Therefore, “a well regulated m*****a” only means a well equipped m*****a that was organized and maintained internal discipline. It does not imply the modern meaning of “regulated,” which means controlled or administered by some superior entity. Federal control over the m*****a comes from other parts of the Constitution, but not from the Second Amendment.'

Because they aren't even close to following the Constitution as written. I pretty sure you won't understand that statement either. Mike
