Read it again, slower

2019-01-31 18:09:29 UTC  

There is no 'hard' or 'soft' anything, you have it or you don't. The Brits have a system they have based purely on good faith.

2019-01-31 18:09:49 UTC  

And they wre bumbling retards for it.

2019-01-31 18:09:51 UTC  

LOL so what happens if you have a government that is acting, systemically, in bad faith?

2019-01-31 18:09:57 UTC  

What is a constitution?

2019-01-31 18:10:18 UTC  

A hard codification of rights that is difficult to amend.

2019-01-31 18:10:38 UTC  

A codified set of laws and rules for a governing body that outlines procedures for governing, as well as its limitations.

2019-01-31 18:11:20 UTC  

The british have that, its just spread out among many laws and legal precidents

2019-01-31 18:11:31 UTC  

Instead of 1 document

2019-01-31 18:11:35 UTC  

that definition needs to be much more simplified

2019-01-31 18:11:44 UTC  

I think

2019-01-31 18:12:02 UTC  

That does not mean anything though. Precedent can be overlooked.

2019-01-31 18:12:13 UTC  

Laws often conflict.

2019-01-31 18:12:15 UTC  

Um not easily

2019-01-31 18:12:21 UTC  

See scotus

2019-01-31 18:12:28 UTC  

And laws conflict here too

2019-01-31 18:12:42 UTC  

That shit happens everywhere

2019-01-31 18:12:53 UTC  

They do but we have a higher set of laws to fall back to.

2019-01-31 18:13:18 UTC  

Which is a constitution.

2019-01-31 18:13:38 UTC  

We have laws that conflict with the constitution, but are still upheld.

2019-01-31 18:14:08 UTC  

a lot of the gun laws comes to my mind

2019-01-31 18:14:55 UTC  

And we can overlook said laws.

2019-01-31 18:15:03 UTC  

Just nobody wants to

2019-01-31 18:15:42 UTC  

I would be within my god given rights to buy an artillery piece to blow up a cow if I damn wanted

2019-01-31 18:16:08 UTC  

No you cant oberlook laws just because you dont agree with it

2019-01-31 18:16:24 UTC  

it not that easy. it a reason it can take years or decades to get a final judgment on conflicting laws

2019-01-31 18:16:39 UTC  

And if they said otherwise, well, I have an artillery piece. They will say I can't, but I can. They will take it. But they will also be in the wrong,

2019-01-31 18:16:47 UTC  

Yes you can

2019-01-31 18:16:57 UTC  

IF the Constitution d8sagrees

2019-01-31 18:17:25 UTC  

The Cojstitution is the uktimate Law of the Land. It is the law from which all others derive authority.

2019-01-31 18:17:30 UTC  

,lmao

2019-01-31 18:17:49 UTC  

You still get fines and arrested/charged. As pointed gun laws.

2019-01-31 18:18:03 UTC  

Which are not constitutional.

2019-01-31 18:18:07 UTC  

It's not unheard of for people to own and fire cannons. Had a neighbor that did just that. True he wasnt firing at any one.

2019-01-31 18:18:12 UTC  

Upheld by scotus

2019-01-31 18:18:23 UTC  

Which can be challenged.

2019-01-31 18:18:28 UTC  

By who?

2019-01-31 18:18:39 UTC  

SCOTUS and a gun.

2019-01-31 18:18:39 UTC  

Scotus is the highest court.

2019-01-31 18:19:05 UTC  

Scotus has upheld the machine gun ban for decades

2019-01-31 18:19:15 UTC  

For instance
