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the about the need to make the Constitution a "living document" and is irrelevant in its current form because it is out of date.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.

'...the other legal rights based on the theory may still be valid...'

6/26/22
from The Gray Area:
6/26/22:

According to the Washington Post, and much emotion & hyberbole within the legacy media, Justice Clarence Thomas also wrote on Friday that the high court should open up for review other precedents that may be deemed “demonstrably erroneous” ... including 'extreme positions' on contraception & same sex marriage. The subject lights more fire under the progressive left's political narratives about extreme Conservative positions and as such get a lot of media play. This is selective reporting regarding what he said. The fact is that, as is usually the case, the media is leaving out the 'rest of the story' concerning what he said. The rest of the story is she said in that opinion, Based on the reasoning in the Dobbs decision, the court should now revisit other cases based on the “substantive due process” theory, Thomas said. Notably, the justice wrote that the other legal rights based on the theory may still be valid, though the court must look for a different textual basis for them. Clearly he was focusing on the legal and Constitutional issues, not the questions of specific rights. It is those law & Constitutional errors he said 'need to be corrected', not the rights. Those specific rights could still work under a different, and presumably more accurate, Constitutional provision(s). Thus not setting up erroneous precedents for future Courts to have to 'erroneously' decide. It is certainly reasonable to expect that people with skin in the game of those 'specific rights' could feel uncomfortable about any 'review' of the cases on which they were based. But, blaming Justice Thomas for attacking those rights directly is just not true. It's more of the position the left takes on the Constitution, which is, the Constitution is an obstacle, so use it any way you want to get what we want politically. This and related stories make the issue conservative justice Thomas, not the law or the Constitution. Whenever you see a headline like this in the legacy media, know there is more to the story, and that 'more' will usually change the headline for accuracy.
