Constitution
One of the 4 or 5 greatest documents in the history of civilization, the US Constitution, created and has served for 225 years to strengthen to basic freedoms on which the United Sates of America was founded. George Washington, who presided over the Constitutional Convention, put the importance of the document and its principles this way: "Toward the preservation of your government and the permanency of your present happy state, it is requisite, not only that you steadily discountenance irregular oppositions to its acknowledged authority, but also that you resist with care the spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. One method of assault may be to effect in the forms of the Constitution alterations which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown." To continually water down through constant "innovations"...isn't that what we are dealing with now? The Marxist left constantly sings the about the need to make the Constitution a "living document" and is irrelevant in its current form because it is out of date. Washington told us to be on guard for such tactics over two hundred years ago. It will serve us well right now to heed his warnings.For an issue by issue discussion of the Constitution, see the EPOCH Times , Defending the Constitution. It discusses the fallacy of a living constitution, the brilliance of the second amendment, racism, sexism, understanding the Constitution, and much more. An educational read, full of fact & truth, not politics and political correctness.

Constitution wins two days in a row

6/25/22
from The Gray Area:
6/25/22:

In the past two days, The Supreme Court has issued two opinions that are strictly Constitution decisions. Not hampered by political debate or desire, strictly adhering to what the letter and intent of the Constitution requires. That is always good for America. If you are an anti-gun or pro-abortion person, you do not like these decisions. Political narratives are flying to indicate how erroneous both decisions are. The truth is, the narratives are all false. The most obvious false narratives are, one for each decision: -crime and murder will increase in NY after the gun law was said to be unconstitutional because it required a 'government official' to approve your reason to buy a gun, and self defense was not good enough. Duh. -abortion is now illegal. No, it is still legal in states that say it is. In some, abortion did become illegal because of trigger laws. Since SCOTUS returned responsibility to the states where the Constitution says such issues reside, that can change in any myriad of ways the local citizens determine. Speaker Pelosi said yesterday in a press conference that these two decisions were 'completely contradictory' and therefore this court was illegitimate. That again is a political narrative. They are absolutely consistent as noted above. Explaining clearly what states can do and what states cannot do, according to the constitution. A couple of thoughts on the decision:

Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg was not a fan of Roe v Wade. She said it was 'the wrong case and it would have been better to take a more incremental approach to legalizing abortion, rather than the nationwide ruling'. She wanted a 'gradual relaxation of abortion bans on a state-by-state basis'. For those who are saying the Court overturned a 'right' in changing the Roe v Wade 1973 decision, it has been done many times before.  For example, the Jim Crow, separate but equal, decision was overturned some 60 years later by the Supreme Court.  Why? Because it too was a bad legal decision. For those on the left who are shouting about defying the Court or expanding the Court, remember, when the left had majority control of the Supreme Court, decisions made by those Courts satisfied the left and the right was incensed. That is both good and bad.  Good, because to protect our freedom, the founders created such a balance of power that can change.  Moderation over extremes.  Bad, because one of the three primary institutions created to do that was never supposed to end up being politically driven.  They were supposed to always be constitutionally driven.  It is very bad that that has changed.
