Hey, Democratic Underground! Thom Hartmann called you out!

[CAPHAVOC]

70. First

I did not know that posters on DU were required to be right about anything. So what if a post is wrong. Isn't that what it is all about? It is just a Web Site for people to communicate easily in ways that were never possible in the past. It is like the Old Meeting House or the corner Pub. Why pick on them? This media is in its infancy. Shame on him.

Regarding his presentation about the Supreme Court. The Founders did not set the Constitution in stone. They truly intended it to be a "living breathing document." However they did not intend it to live and breathe the way it is. They put in constitutional ways to change or eliminate it. The power to change or eliminate it was left to the States. Through amendment or a new convention.
Our problems and arguments revolve around the way the Governments...plural, State and Federal try to do things they consider convenient without the hassle of or the difficulty of Amendment or Convention.

Now here comes the 26 States with their lawsuit. Hey! Federal Government! You are trampling on States Rights!!! This is unconstitutional!!
Excuse me? States, have you not been happily giving up your precious sovereignty, your "rights." For a hundred years in order to happily accept federal money. We give you States so much money we even have to borrow it from China to hand it over.

So whats a SCOTUS to do?

To the question...is the SCOTUS operating according to they way the Founding Fathers intended...of course not nothing is. They never intended for things to always stay as they were when it was written.
