something is unconstitutional if the constitution doesn't lay it could clearly

that is the exact opposite

of what it is

the government can't just make up new shit to do without SC getting involved

The constitution and BoR is a layout of what the government isn't allowed to mess with

@SuperHeroDeluxe listen, i am not trying to be mean here, the constitution is everything the govt is not allowed to touch

@SuperHeroDeluxe go watch a civics video please, please

like liberty?

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

@SuperHeroDeluxe everything in the constitution even starts with, "the govt shall not enfringe on"

hello, civics classes from junior high were bullshit

Free civics classes online

if the government does something that can be seen to interfere with my liberty, i can challenge it. that's pretty much everything

if any law prevents me from doing something, i can challenge it.

on constituional grounds

@SuperHeroDeluxe if the government makes a law which violates a clause in the constitution, it is unconstitutional, like making a law favoring one religion over another, that is unconsitutional

that's why i say it doesn't give the government the right to do whatever

The constitution is a box the government dwells in.

if i can demonstrate that their legistlation interferes with my pursuit of happiness, i can challenge it

@SuperHeroDeluxe yes, but no, there have been SC cases which have a foundation for some of those cases

the constitution puts the power on the people, if they don't think that it's a bill of rights for the government, some of you being silly

@SuperHeroDeluxe so the SC has established its interpretation of what is a violation of the clauses or not

not permanently

@SuperHeroDeluxe no the constitution gives the right to make laws to the legislative

that are not claused in the constitution

everything is fair game

sure

@SuperHeroDeluxe you don't have the right to infringe others rights either in Your pursuit of happiness. And the government does have the right to step in and prevent you from doing that

and you have a right to challenge

sure, i agree

im talking about the government's rights

the constitution is everything that the legislative branch is not allowed to make laws about, what the executive is not allowed to enforce on

pretty much everything is covered. it just depends on interpretations of wording. for instance, abortion is fine as long as the babies aren't considered PERSONS

The SC opinion on freedom of speech changed in the early 1900s due to a minority opinion.

if unborn babies were persons, everyone would have to keep their hands off

@SuperHeroDeluxe @Wizard_of_The_West whatever the SC determines is the interpretation is how it goes

not permanently

we have hope

that is why, and let me repost it again, the reason we need:

1) SC constitutional Judges
2) Stop Immigration
3) Harsher Crime Punishments

i have hope

1) is on top
