you may have read the declaration, or the federalist papers, or even the constitution. Doesn't mean you know what the founders meant
@Unironic Ohio Supremecist Where in our founding documents does it say the standard is that you cannot do something if it is morally objectionable but doesn't harm anyone else?
personally I think looking at what the founders said and thought about the documents they wrote is better than what I, or 5 unelected judges thought 170 years later
Where does it say the opposite?
Again, doesn't matter what the founders thought. What matters is what the documents say
What a brainlet question.
But the part where legislative power is given to the Congress is your answer.
Also what Legalize said.
I feel like I'm living in Groundhog Day right now.
@Legalize Exactly. A state ban on pornography would be one thing. But a Federal ban would be out of their given powers. Not that our government even cares about that anymore lol
@ScootDood
So if the standard is what you falsely claim, why even have a legislature?
@ScootDood so states can violate your rights but the feds cannot? what kind of logic is that?
if porn is a right, as you have said, than the states have no more right to violate it than the feds do
Also, pornography is interstate.
Clearly the purview of the Feds.
I'm not saying it *has* to be congress but the idea that it is contrary to the constitution is just wrong
All I'm seeing is a bunch of fuckin statists
It isn't the job of the States per se to uphold the US Constitution. That is limitation on the Federal government specifically. The states can do what they want. That's why some states have had things like state religions as a law, because they're not bound my the Constitution. That's why they have their own constitutions, to bound them
πππ½thumbs down DISAPPOINTED.
@TheCompanyMan
And proud of it.
It was all design to push power down so that it's closer to the people. it's way easier for me to have an effect on my state government than on the federal goverment. It's even better at a local level.
If one state wants to ban me from cursing because it "hurts other people around me", fine, I'll move. That's the great thing about Federalism
How about nah ^
Fuckem all. π€·π½ββοΈ
@ScootDood
So the Feds are not allowed to regulate interstate commerce anymore?
Who knew?
Wouldn't be having these issues if y'all would just hop off the States dick. ;)
What sort of logic says I have a natural right to something but I'm fine if it's banned as long as it's not banned everywhere?
@Unironic Ohio Supremecist Stretching lol
Can't argue about the state if there isn't one .
would that not defeat the very point of calling it a right?
Big Brain thoughts.
@ScootDood
Lol. No. Not even remotely. Porn is CLEARLY distributed interstate.
lol, sure
But what do I know. I'm just a man who understands Fountain Pen Supremacy.
lol
@A. Spader look up Federalism. Rights as defined by the Constitution were never meant to be guarenteed 100% all the time to everyone no matter what. They were only meant to be things that the Fed couldn't take away from you
lmao no
