Is the Constitution strong enough to survive the current Supreme Court?

Your position that the Democraps have honor and integrity destroys your argument.
You lying is proof that you lack integrity. I never said anything about the honor of Democrats and your need to make up infantile names for them also show your lack of intellect.
 
And in believing that the world had changed and preclearance was no longer necessary.
Here's the thing: They didn't believe it. They knew better. The record never supported their position. They just wanted to change the law, so they did.

Since I haven't lied, you look foolish assuming that position. They are crap, and they show it in EVERY position they take.
 
Of course you lied, it is there for ev eryone to read.

Because I showed that you lie?
You haven't shown anything yet, except your posterior.

Just what lie did you think I posted?
 
Just that you lie.

Your kiss was sweet. I felt like Trump.



BTW, intelligent people can keep track of what they post, something you clearly can not do.
Well, you helped me decide that 12 year olds aren't smart enough for me to waste any more time trying to carry on a conversation. AMF

Probably because those that are 13 are more like your speed. Glad to help.

History books (assuming we still have them) will call out the Roberts court as the most anti-rights court in American history.

That is only because history books written by leftist filth are completely bereft of facts.

The reality is that you cannot cite a single Supreme Court case in the last 50 years that has been "anti-rights." Just because you don't like the fact that the Supreme Court continually tosses out leftist plans, and for the last 25 years it has only been the left, to subvert the US Constitution does not make them "anti-rights."

You are simply falling into the old leftist habit of calling everyone who disagrees with you a "racist," only this time you call them "anti-rights." When the reality is that you, and your leftist ilk, are the one who are anti-rights here, not the Supreme Court.
 
I couldn't agree more. McConnell demonstrated he has no interest in constitutional norms when he abrogated the constitutional responsibility to "Advise and Consent" for decades, most especially with the Garland and Barrett behaviors. And the result is crap like this: D.C. Circuit overturns FDA ban on shock device for disabled students (Reuters). This is a result that is purely ideological, not constitutional, and is absurd on its face, yet it is becoming the norm for Republican appointees.

The "block and flood" strategy abuses any notion of compliance with framer's intent and is much worse than any effort of "packing". Thomas and Alito have no business being on any court, much less the Supreme Court, yet that's what happens when the Constitution is abused for purely partisan advantage.
To be clear we should differentiate between electroconvulsive treatments and shock devices, the latter definitely is torture.
 
"The Senate has confirmed 200 of President Trump’s judicial nominees, roughly 23 percent of all federal judgeships. That includes 53 to the nation’s appellate courts, the court immediately under the Supreme Court. What emerges from this group of new judges is a judiciary stacked with young conservative ideologues, many of whom lack basic judicial qualifications."

I couldn't find any records that would be comparable for other former presidents.
This is the federalist society’s plan.

Citizens United v. FEC
Shelby County v. Holder
Whole Women's Health v. Jackson et al

Your leftist filth (can you put that in all of your posts) are tired.

History books written by leftists? Laughable, where did the 'Lost Cause' come from?

Be careful what you plot for. Some of those "law and order" judges are being pretty hard on the insurrectionists.

Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S. 310 (2010) upheld the First Amendment by tossing out the unconstitutional McCain/Feingold campaign finance reform bill. So if that is your example of the Supreme Court violating the First Amendment by upholding the First Amendment you have some very bizarre examples.

The Shelby County v. Holder, 570 U.S. 529 (2013) was a State's rights decision and the Whole Woman's Health v. Jackson, 595 U.S. ___ (2021) wasn't a decision at all, but rather the denial of an injunction.

None of those decisions violated anyone's rights, just the opposite, the Supreme Court upheld our First Amendment right in Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S. 310 (2010).

As we see almost on a daily basis, leftist filth are never tired of violating the US Constitution. Such as Biden's unconstitutional mandates. Biden will be impeached on that alone after the mid-term election in 2022 when the GOP take control of the House and Senate.

There's a difference between a Supreme Court decision you don't like and being "anti-rights".
Citizens United expanded the First Amendment, not restricted it. I don't agree with it either, but it's not "anti-rights".

Shelby County restored control of elections to the states, the way it's supposed to be. The Federal government had been supervising elections in some states for almost 40 years, which was necessary at the time. Civil rights have advanced considerably since then. The decision did not preclude Congress from resuming control with up to date coverage formulas, but removed Federal control until they did. Not "anti-rights."

Whole Women's Health is the clearest example of your confusion about anything you don't like being "anti-rights". SCOTUS merely refused to grant an immediate injunction. They did not preclude hearing the case if it comes to them via normal channels, which I expect will be expedited for this particular case. I don't like the new abortion restriction either, but it's not "anti-rights" because SCOTUS doesn't grant you immediate gratification. DC v Heller clarified the Second Amendment 13 years ago and they still haven't straightened out lower courts that have been ignoring / misquoting it ever since. SCOTUS works slowly.

Citizens violates individual rights by equalizing corporate speech and individual speech. Giving corporations individual rights (you don't believe the BoR was meant for corporations do you)?. Corporations don't die. Individuals were.

You claim Shelby didn't take away individual rights? Check the voting counts since the decision.

Congratulations, you got leftist filth in again. We should make your posts a drinking game.

Corporations are not individuals. By giving them individual rights (they are not individuals-ever read an obituary for a corporation), you are reducing individual rights. Remember, this is about symbolic speech, the giving of cash to political campaigns. A very small percentage of individuals have the ability to compete in that arena.

Sorry, states are subordinate to the federal government in all areas. Check out the Supremacy clause. I don't deny that states have the ability to decide the time, place and manner of elections, but..."Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators."

WWH is the clearest example of the denial of rights. They allowed a state law to stay in place that denies a large segment (but not all) of TX women to be denied their constitutional rights. In what country do you see the denial of constitutional rights to some, not being the removal of individual rights?

SCOTUS said that the then almost forty, now 46 year old coverage formulas were out of date. They suspended the obsolete law until Congress passed a new law. The ball is in Congress' court.

No, it isn't. SCOTUS merely refused to issue an injunction against the law without a hearing. I realize that when it's a cause you favor that immediate gratification is expected, but SCOTUS has expedited the case and has granted a hearing the same year. By the SCOTUS way of reckoning time, that's hyperspeed.

ROFL! You don't violate rights by upholding them.

Corporations are owned by individuals. Are you seriously asserting that individuals lose their right to free speech simply because they became a corporation?

Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S. 310 (2010) was an excellent decision, upholding the individual right of free speech. Which is why leftists, and only leftists, hate it so much.

You claim Shelby didn't take away individual rights? Check the voting counts since the decision.
I said that Shelby County v. Holder, 570 U.S. 529 (2013) was a State's rights case. It had absolutely nothing to do with individual rights either way.

The point being that none of the cited Supreme Court cases demonstrates that the Supreme Court is anti-rights. Just the opposite actually.
 
The USSC has been decidedly neutral on most every case.

Liberals living in their paranoia.
On the contrary, the Supreme Court has most certainly upheld and defended individual and State rights in a wide variety of cases just in the last 30 years. They most certainly are not neutral on the issue. These are just some examples in the last 30 years where the Supreme Court upheld individual and State rights:

I disagree for two reasons. BoR is about individual rights. Corporations are not individuals. That 'expansion' limits individual rights of symbolic speech regarding campaign contributions. What individual (in general) can compete with corporations in this area?

SCOTUS was wrong, the formulas were still working. This was a political decision that was not based in law.

What other case has SCOTUS ever allowed to remove constitutional rights from a portion of the population while allowing others in the same state to retain them?

Are you seriously conflating the individuals that are part of the corporation and the corporation? What happens to the individuals right to free speech when they die? And what happens to a corporations free speech when they die...oh yeah, they don't die.

You are saying it is a states rights case? You are incorrect. Voting is not a states rights issue. The time place and manner of elections are controlled by the states. Those rights are superseded by the federal government in the constitutions election clause. Read the clear text of the Constitution...

"Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators."
