Did the founding fathers have porn? No photos. Were there pornographic etchings? TG, perhaps your knowledge of porn history could enlighten as to the founders intent re issues of porn.

Of course back then it was I think ok to have sex with 11 or 12 year olds.

Things change.

I think we had all kinds of crazy depressions and boom bust cycles thru the 1800s … Massive depression in 1893…not sure…read it in a Howard zinn comic book…

4th am. No unreasonable searches or seizures.

Well that’s clear? No interpretation needed?

What did the founding fathers mean by unreasonable searches in the context of sayan Internet search on your home computer to some server in Finland for child porn of Asian kids?

Do you think they really had an opinion?

Is Rand even a real name?

But it’s not clear, and no where in the constitution does it say it should be interpreted by what the founders thought.

Clarity. Read the 2nd amendment and tell me you can make heads or tails of it.

What the originalists are saying IS that every us supreme ct justice is basically an idiot who cannot read and is ignoring the constitution.

Of course, every rule seems simple till you start to apply it to a specific situation and think about what it really means.

Marbury v Madison is the case that stands for the proposition that the us sup ct is the final arbiter on how to interpret the language of the constitution. So when Ron Paul reads the literal language of, say the commerce clause, if he follows the law, he doesn’t get to ignore the last few hundred years of sup cf precedent trying to figure out just what the heck the commerce clause means, what the limits are, etc.

I think Ron Paul opposes the civil rights act as beyond constitutional authority. He’s got a super narrow view of what’s constitutionally kosher, certainly not a view the us supreme ct follows.

IMO , constitutionalists and originalists are not really rooted in the reality of life.

Wasn’t the English pound a metals based currency that failed to retains it’s world reserve status?

If this whole plan is contingent on doctors volunteering free thru local churches, that would truly be amazing to see. Given the overhead the doctor will br bankrupt in 4 months. Back in the day he had to finance a little black bag with a stethescope. Now he can finance all kinds of required wondrous medical machinery. I don’t recall docs toting around an MRI machine in the 50s.

But seriously, in a world of fiat currencies, where no nation is “responsible”, is there really an advantage to the us dollar in it’s competition with other currencies for getting on a gold standard oreven acting fiscally responsible?

If coke is in office and you vote for pepsj all will be will. But if pepsi don’t work vote for dr pepper and everything will be ok

if only we’d listened to neutral milk hotel

Thumbs up arraya.

[scaredyclassic]

Doctors can do nice things, but are often afflicted with a pathological type of altruism. They think they know best. I actually like Ron Paul, don’t care about Israel, but still suspicious of doctors.

[scaredyclassic]

Not My wife…but I’ve met a lot of doctors. Don’t they seem to think they know more than they know?

I don’t trust doctor politicians.

[scaredyclassic]

Doctors tend to be arrogant.
