Rich Guy: We Should Get More Votes Than Poor

[skidadl]

No worse than the corporations begging for bailouts and subsidies. Corporate welfare is real and they have much more influence than the lower class leeches. Someone taking a golden parachute paid for with taxpayer money bugs me more than someone buying food with it.

Yes yes yes.

Costco takes good care of their employees and are a much smaller company than Walmart.

They actually start you out at somewhere over $11 an hour and pay 90+% of your healthcare.

You can't tell me the greedy fucks at Walmart and other places couldn't do the same.

So Walmart should change their business model so poor people and Bipo will be happy?

I think that folks are confused about the purpose of being in business.

Coscto is a good company. Good for them.

The law has been changed, and the Constitution has been changed. That's a living document, schmitty. If it wasn't, Amendments couldn't be added or changed. You know this. For example, black people are no longer 3/5 of a person, yet that used to be in the Constitution. But it isn't anymore. That's not interpretation; that was a change in the Constitution.

The bible isn't a living document but the Constitution is.

That's not what the term "living document" as applied to the Constitution means; of course it can be amended, in fact, that's what we all say should happen.

Living document means that the law changes based on the new interpretations that justices make up, simply because the times and circumstances change. It's "living" because it evolves without actual textual change.

Which basically is the same as saying it means nothing at all and whoever is on the Supreme Court at the time can make up the law as they see fit, which is bullshit.

If we want to amend the constitution, that's fine. That's better than fine, it's optimal as to how law should be changed. Living Constitutionalists believe that the meaning changes over time, Originalists believe it should be interpreted per the intent of the people who wrote it, at the time they wrote it. The latter approach is used throughout just about every statutory interpretation in every level of American law; only intellectually dishonest liberals apply different logic to the Constitution when it fits their agenda.

A living document or dynamic document is a document that is or can be continually edited and updated.

In United States constitutional law, the Living Constitution, also known as loose constructionism, permits the Constitution as a static document to have an interpretation that shifts over time as the cultural context changes.

The opposing view, originalism, holds that the original intent or meaning of the writers of the Constitution should guide its interpretation.

Bolded - basically says that as a "static document" - ie, not amended by the procedures to legally change what it says, will have a SHIFTING INTERPRETATION despite the text not being changed. That is what Living Constitutionalists believe, and of course, they are liars and the most contemptible people causing the most destruction to our country currently, be they democrats or republicans.
