Read your constitution in between your hee hawing and show us the part about the air force. I think it's right next to the well armed militia.

At the time when the Constitution was being written there were hot air balloons.
 
She'll take away the air force and give everyone a musket!
 
When the Constitution was written there were no computers. So just to be safe, and so you are not labeled a criminal, I suggest you take your computer out in the back yard and chop it up with an axe.

Yeah and? A hot air balloon is not an f-22 raptor. For that matter it's not even a biplane.

You're the group always screaming about the constitution so maybe you are correct, kill all computers.

"well armed militia" It doesnt say what they are armed with -------------- so having an air force is perfectly legal!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice stretch. We don't care what the constitution doesn't say, we care what it does say. Where is any mention of an air force in the constitution?

Good. Since "well armed militia" allows anyone to have an airforce plane, it must also allow me to have my own nuclear weapon and chemical one and a biological one! Nice!

OMG Such a novel argument! You are absolutely the first person ever to present it.

Well the constitution doesn't explicitly allow a person to post babbling gibberish on the internet either, but people do it all the time!

LAFFRIOT
 
I already know the answer. I'm asking others what they think.
I doubt seriously the SC would even take such a case, but go ahead and prove me wrong.

Prove you wrong about a hypothetical situation, good one.

By their reasoning, yes indeed you can have anything you wish.

Holy ****. Leftists have a real problem with understanding words.

Being an originalist does NOT MEAN that law is to be judged against the original document without regard to the Amendments. FFS...the FOUNDERS of the Constitution both put in place the mechanism to change the Constitution AND actually added to it within a few years of its passage.

Being an 'originalist' means you judge law against the Constitution...including its Amendments...without trying to to fabricate arguments to make them fit. In other words...marriage...which is never found in the Constitution and should thus be a State issue as per the 10th Amendment should not have been tortured into federal context by misuse of the 14th Amendment.

Not surprisingly, the same people that demonstrate they dont understand "originalist" are also the same people that run around making their inane claims about the US government policies and "socialism".

She and every other person who claims to be an "originalist" are bloody liars.

BS it means you twist the constitution to your own beliefs.

The sole intent of the Constitution is to "establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty". Article 1, Section 8 addresses the Armed Forces. For you to actually believe the Air Force wouldnt be included in that as a component of the Armed Forces as flight and air power was established must mean you are actually stupid enough to believe your freedom of speech is limited to typeset printing presses, soap boxes in town squares, and written word in ink and quill pen. And of course, you ARENT that stupid, so one then has to ask why you would make such a stupid argument as you did in the OP...and what we are left with is that you are just another prog trying to find some reason, no matter how idiotic that reason is, to shit yourself over Amy Barret being appointed to the Supreme Court.

Thats what liberals and idiot leftists attempt to do...I agree. Thats what I said. Why post if you are just going to agree with me? Just punch that 'like' button.
 
The Army and Navy are provided for. And the Navy has airplanes, so that totally ignorant and just plain stupid complaint is covered. Next whine????
