@Admin. LGBTQ represent a percent or two of the population. Any time majority rights are infringed for special protection of a minority, it is un-Constitutional and wrong in a Representative Republic, because there HAS ALWAYS BEEN adequate remedy in the justice system for criminal wrongdoing, and in the civil system. It was wrong with Affirmative Action, Segregation, Busing, and every other law that takes away the rights of law-abiding citizens for special protection of ANY minority. Only by political sleight-of-hand, illegal coercion, votes in the dead of night, and the use of the media propaganda machine, encouraged by a happily apathetic electorate, have such immoral laws been enacted.

Should the government decide who should run companies?

TimTuolomne comments on Oct 4, 2020:

TimTuolomne replies on Oct 4, 2020:

@Admin. Until 1942, it was explicitly impossible for the US government to control any business, unless it was to prevent interstate commerce violations or monopolies. SCOTUS was un-Constitutionally coerced by FDR into deciding Wickard v Filburn, ultimately creating the possibility of a vast unaccountable Federal bureacracy. All illegal. The States have Constitutional authority for any regulation about which you are inquiring.

TimTuolomne replies on Oct 4, 2020:

@tracycoyle. Got it. Good points. And that perfectly illustrates how we have compromised Constitutional protection of our rights even in a Representative Republic. As Alexis deTocqueville predicted, the majority now believes the government is the source of money, not commerce, and is voting themselves the goodies by tilting us toward socialism. (As you know, anyone with a brain knows that government only has money they take from the people, and when no one works, there is no money anymore.) They will only realize their error after the government and commerce collapse, and probably not then, because the proponents of socialism will blame "subversive reactionaries." (Just as Mao Tse Tung did when the Chinese economy collapsed under pure Socialism, and later his successors had to hybridize to Capitalism to save China.)

While it remains to be seen if the government attempts to establish such a case, and if it is successful, I suspect it will fail. Barrett is an originalist, so if it goes all the way up to SCOTUS, I expect she will vote that the government will have failed to make its case.

@Machiavelliwar. If you follow Musk, he is big on making pronouncements about what the next big advance will be, without a trace of research or evidence to back it up. The Tesla itself was invented by clever engineers AFTER Musk announced its creation. It could just as easily have failed. Technologically speaking it meets none of Musk's claims of what it would do. Only “early adopters” and their groupies have kept the Tesla afloat.

As if Democrats have not made late appointments. They have. So if you're honest you will admit that whatever "agreement" made to avoid late appointments has been abandoned by both sides. It is hypocrisy to claim Republicans have been the ones to abandon such an agreement. It is neither law, nor common sense that Republicans should not do the same as have Democrats already - in fact in the last administration. Are you like the leadership of the Democrat party, willing to lie and misrepresent the truth? One of their favorite lies is that all politicians lie - as if it is somehow OK. That is so their own lies seem reasonable to you. Well I have news for you. Those representing the Constitution are NOT liars. That means only Democrats and a few lying and calling themselves Republicans when they are not, are the liars and deceivers. And so are you if you assert the same thing.

@Admin, @dd54, Alexis deToqueville predicted the eventual conversion of any Democracy (which for this point includes our representative republic) to socialism, because the unintelligent masses, unaware of the founding principles and how their rights are protected by them, happily abandon their liberty because they believe they can vote themselves the goodies - as if the government is actually the source of money, not productivity and raw materials. So some believe that all democracies will fall, and seldom peacefully.

TimTuolomne replies on Aug 12, 2020:

@KeithThroop, I admit to be repeating something I heard on a trusted source, without checking. Now I’ll see if I can verify it. Busing, as many other legislative attempts at fairness, fail philosophically, because as soon as one gives any group special rights, it is at the expense of the majority. Our Constitution was written specifically to avoid that philosophical trap. Progressives have repeatedly bypassed the principle with busing, Affirmative Action, the ADA, Segregation, and on and on.... effectively destroying our Constitutionally protected rights.

Absolutely correct Pandoro. These folks feel boomers are the problem, as if not for them, human nature would be rainbows and kumbaya. These idealistic, gullible Utopians are surprised every time their Utopias fail, or blame it on Constitutionalists, who back the only system of governance to address and harness flawed human nature, to provide the most fair and best protection of individual rights in history. And then after succeeding in destabilizing our Constitutional society, they blame “boomers,” or Constitutionalists for what Utopians themselves did, to justify doing something that history has proved never works. Then say we’re never going back. Ya know what? They may be right. Thousands of lives were lost and ruined to establish our Constitutional Republic, in favorable conditions, such as a public awareness of the Great philosophers.

TimTuolomne replies on Jul 22, 2020:

@KeithThroop, I can't disagree with you. Some of us are pushing for a Constitutional Convention, to drive our Constitution back to the original, with a few adjustments. Organizational studies prove that accountability utterly disappears in communities exceeding a few thousand people. The original 13 colonies had governments smaller than that. If we made every county in the US a state, the United States would consist of 3,141 nearly autonomous "states," of similar high accountability to the original 13 colonies. Our current states are utterly unaccountable, due to their massive size. And the Federal government is so unaccountable that it amounts to a slush fund for big powerful politicians. The drift of the Constitution toward greater Federal power, was explicitly against the principles of the original Constitution. It has been driven by big-government progressives, who are oblivious to accountability issues. I believe dirty power politics, as I have described, are a grave threat to our Constitution, and require informed voter response. In part, that is why I continue such posts as these.
