Are you?
I'm imagining the Washington Monument and the Capitol Building with a gigantic Christian crosses on the tops of them. "The United States of Jesus". Church is now in session!Are you?
Establishment clause of the first amendment.An argument is there is no specific mentioning of separation of church and state in the constitution.
Like a huge number of people, I'm tired of Lauren Boebert! She's as fixated on her religious beliefs as she is on guns, (and I wonder if there isn't a repressed sexual reason for both of those, but never mind).Are you?
Hear, hear! And may Boebert enjoy it just as much as all the other women in those countries seem to!Establishment clause of the first amendment.
If Boebert and other republicans want to live under religious tyranny they can relocate to Iran or Saudi Arabia.

Which?
Constitution Originalism is a paradox as Constitutional Originalism is ultimately regular and frequent rewriting and updates to the Constitution and being free from being governed by the dead.People who hate constitutional originalism
should consider that this is the source of
separation of church & state.
I predict an eternal battle with fundies
who want a theocracy in Ameristan.
Constitutional originalism is about theJust to clarify, as I've heard it used in both ways, by originalism are you referring to original intent (I'm assuming) or original meaning?
There is no paradox.Constitution Originalism is a paradox as Constitutional Originalism is ultimately regular and frequent rewriting and updates to the Constitution and being free from being governed by the dead.
That's exactly what they did in The Handmaid's Tale.I'm imagining the Washington Monument and the Capitol Building with a gigantic Christian crosses on the tops of them. "The United States of Jesus". Church is now in session!
The original intent was to the living not being governed by the dead. We are heavily governed by the dead America has deified. Thomas Jefferson's own suggestion was rewriting the Constitution frequently and regularly about every 20 years so each generation could address the issues of their day (they all knew they couldn't predict the future).There is no paradox.
When the Constitution is amended,
the original intent of the amendment
supersedes what was amended.
Duh!
It hasn't been changed and trying to interpret the Constitution by what some dead guys meant in a world and time that is just as dead and gone as they are.The dead don't govern. We use law
they wrote, & change it as required.
We keep what we want...which can't
be blamed on anyone else.
We can change the Constitution if we want.The original intent was to the living not being governed by the dead.
That's a rather large and outlandish assumption.Or do you prefer that the Prez, Congress, &
SCOTUS can do whatever they want, just
ignoring the Constitution?
Well, congrats!
You just gave Trump the right to have staged
a coup. And you gave cops the right to beat,
search, & kill us without limitation because
the 1st, 4th, & other amendments are only
dead guy rantings....& irrelevant.
That's not the same as rewritting it to reflect contemporary times as the Founding Fathers did intend. They didn't want their original intentions and purposes and definitions and times governing the future. This is well documented and why positions promoting it are inherently a contradiction and paradox because the original intent was regularly updating and refreshing the Constitution.We can change the Constitution if we want.
There are amendment processes spelled
out therein.
It is indeed.That's a rather large and outlandish assumption.
The intention is that would have been rewritten about a dozen times by now. But despite this intention the living not be governed by the dead we are still governed by the dead.It is indeed.
But when you propose ignoring intention
behind the Constitution, you risk losing
many rights based upon interpreting
what the framers had in mind, eg,
separation of church & state.
