JUSTICE THOMAS ASKS WHERE ABORTION IS FOUND IN THE CONSTITUTION:



“What specifically is the right here that we’re talking about?”

 

[JohnnySavage]

Weak sauce.

The word "internet" is not there either, yet we assume free speech applies on the internet.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

No, it's a different animal altogether. No one disputes that what goes on with the internet is speech, so the government cannot limit it. Abortion is not like any enumerted rigtht mentioned in the BoR.

 

[JohnnySavage]

I dunno... there's no such thing as an originalist because it would be impractical in our modern world. The concepts enshrined in the Constitution are what matters.

But Thomas is dumb as a bag of hammers and probably has never read the Constitution.

I don't care much about the abortion issue though. Roe is probably bad law, but morally correct.

Just like with the gun issue; if you don't like what the Constitution says about it, amend the Constitution.

But it doesn't, does it? Fakebook, Twitter, Instagram, all work to subvert free speech online.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Those are not government entities, and therefore can't violate any one's free speech rights.

 

[Rightguide]

They are monopolies who do violate free speech through internal regulation. They do this in sympathy with the political left.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Free speech, and the entire Bill of Rights restricts governmental actions, not private entities.

 

[ll74]

Originalists are fucking morons.

All SCOTUS rulings are.activism

Since you brought up guns I would very much like to see where in the Constitution it mentions guns, or even where that right comes from if not granted by the government. Can you show me?

But it doesn't, does it? Fakebook, Twitter, Instagram, all work to subvert free speech online.

Sounds very much like you have a problem with capitalism comrade. Perhaps it is time you came over to the Dark Side with the commies and socialists who despise things like this.

Its not that you're wrong, and we could point out that virtually all media is owned by like 6 companies and we try to ignore it because we either accept we are basically slaves or we start burning shit.

 

[Rightguide]

Free speech, and the entire Bill of Rights restricts governmental actions, not private entities.

Well, in essence, this is true. Corporations are required to follow the laws of the United States, all of which are confined by the Constitution but it can violate the supreme law of the land with impunity when it comes to individuals' constitutional rights.

The alternative is to go elsewhere but in the case of the Internet they can deny to you 90% of the major platforms for social media and business on an Internet they dominate, and you pay for.

Rumble went public. I think I'll buy up some of that stock as my alternative to Youtube censorship and wokeness.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

If not originlsm, then what?

 

[colddiesel]

Does the Constitution contemplate the possibility of black judges tellin' folks what to do?

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

All SCOTUS rulings are.activism

If abortion gets placed in the hands of state legislatures, it will be an act of de-activism.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

Does the Constitution contemplate the possibility of black judges tellin' folks what to do?

Huh??

 

[Cubantripod]

In that exchange Thomas also acknowledged to string of cases from Lochner to Roe that expanded the right to liberty under the 14th amendment.

 

[LittleDixie]

The questions are:

"Is abortion an enumerated right?"

"Is abortion discussed in the Constitution?"

"If yes, where?"

 

[KeithD]

Huh??

Colddiesel went right over your head with that one, didn't he?

The Constitution wouldn't have contemplated a black man being able to vote let alone be a judge. Civilization went on developing and refining after the writing of the Constitution. That was even recognized at the time because amendments started coming in before the ink was dried.

The relevant response to the question of "Is abortion even mentioned in the Constitution?" is "Are semi-automatic weapons even mentioned in the Constitution?" You can't have it both ways. You either go with letting civilization progress with common sense in response to change and development or you start being really ridiculous awfully fast.

You are among the really ridiculous.

i figured it was something like that, but wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't as idiotic as it seemed. Turns out, it is!

Of course, the Constitution does not limit anyone from being a judge, and there's not a hint that blacks would be barred from being appointed to those positions. The entire argument is laughable.

 

[ll74]

It's explained I. Roe vs Wade.

Maybe he should read more and talk less

 

[LittleDixie]

Roe v Wade is not in the Constitution, though. It's not an enumerated right.

 

[ll74]

Roe v Wade is not in the Constitution, though. It's not an enumerated right.

Strange...it's all so confusing.


Good additional comment though


Hey..do you know the role of the Supreme Court? Just curious ..to help clear things up

 

[Cubantripod]

Roe v Wade is not in the Constitution, though. It's not an enumerated right.

Roe v. Wade isn't, but it's a continuation of 70 years of the court expanding rights retained by the people under the 14th amendment. I thought you were a libertarian? Where ever the government can't meddle, we're better off.

 

[Cubantripod]

The questions are:

"Is abortion an enumerated right?"

"Is abortion discussed in the Constitution?"

"If yes, where?"

Neither is the right to brith control under Griswold. The right of individuals to make family planning decisions is a privacy issue and an area where the government shouldn't be meddling. Roe is an expansion of that right.
