It seems pretty ridiculous to base 21st century tax and economic policy off of a document written in the 18th century before the Industrial revolution, before major urbanization, when Mercantilism was still considered good economics, and the founders didn’t even know how the state would function in practice yet. They still considered each state to be quasi-independent wjth citizens loyal to the state before the federal government. Today, states are tightly integrated together into a unified, federal system, not a loosely organized federation that the founders envisioned.
The Constitution, which is a contract, can be amended, like any other contract, when the various parties are in agreement its terms are outdated. There's even a procedure for amending the Constitution written into said contract.
Back when our pre-wwII post-civil-war presidents called the US a backwater swamp that needed to militarize before they attracted someone militarized to invade.
@@kushclarkkent6669 The last time the constitution was amended was 1971, lowering the age to vote from 21 to 18; making them apart of the political community, or, The People. Recently, in a court case involving the sale of pistols to 18yr olds in California, as the State was arguing in the founding era, 18yr olds weren't considered as part of The People, the judge pointed out the 26th Amendment had expanded The People to 18yr olds. Not that the court is likely to rule in favor of the Plaintiffs, California, 9th Circuit, not a single civilian disarmament law they wouldn't use any amount of sophistry to justify their rulings to limit the serfs from having arms. But even the most progressive courts recognize the 26th Amendment and its impact; it alters everything that proceeded it.
@@letsomethingshine Back in the Progressive Era, that was so racist that modern Progressives distant themselves from some of their policies while embracing other policies from that time, as they have selective ignorance of some of their heroes from back then? Example: Margaret Sanger was a favorite speaker to the KKK as she wrote in her letters the extermination of the Negoes and Other Human Weeds was her goal.
I’d like for the next progressive SCOTUS majority to observe that the Founders definitely were not Originalists. Jefferson said that we had the opportunity to begin the world anew.
The Originalists sounds like the overpowered old world vampires on The Vampire Diaries. Our country, just like that show, started to really suck when they showed up.
ORIGINALISM is shit. It should never have reached this point of perceived legitimacy. Under Originalism most of that court could not exist, Especially for Thomas.

On the topic of the Chevron ruling: theoretically, could the legislature (local, state or federal) just put the documented standards/rules/limits/regulations into a bill and pass it?
I continue to feel strongly that the Supreme Court needs to be disbanded. We do not decide a case based on lifetime appointed career judges-- the standard has always been the JURY, not the COURT. I feel a good replacement for the Supreme Court would be a Jury Of The People; a 200 member body selected at random the same way local courts select jurors, appointed PER CASE and disbanded after its resolved, with participants made inelgiable to sit on the jury for several years so more of the population has a role in the Final Stage of abritation within this system of governance. The dying have no right to tell the living how to go about it.
The Bruen Test is so simple, even an interested layman like me, without a law degree can understand it. The so called confusion in the lower courts is not confusion, but a rebellion as the idea of serfs having access to firearms and other weapons is unthinkable as they misquote Bruen to justify their interest balancing to rule in favor of gun control; there's not a single arms ban law that the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th or 9th Circuit Court of Appeals didn't favor, after twisting Staples, Heller, McDonald, Ceatano and now Bruen into a pretzel to justify their conclusions; the serfs don't need guns. Easterbrook of the 7th Circuit went so far as to create a "Military Use Test" to claim AR15s and other semiautomatic rifles have no Second Amendment Protections whatsoever; completely ignoring Staples, Heller, McDonald and Ceatano that weapons in "Common Use For Lawful Means" cannot be banned.
wow, Peter is cute! :D but on topic, honestly I don't how the US still exists, its literally every terrible decision choice and consequence you can imagine time and time again. At this point, the US is held together with gum and tape. its so exhausting
This originalism philosophy is tiresome BS. When the originalists want a certain outcome, they make up exceptions to their philosophy. How else did the "well regulated militia" language disappear? Why isn't the Second Amendment restricted to muskets and front-loading firearms? Yet, the originalists realize people shouldn't have bazookas or machine guns, and found an exception to their exceptions to account for that. The level of hypocrisy is staggering.
Have you ever looked up _in the context of the second amendment what does well regulated mean?_ I'm not asking you to agree with the other side, but, if you can't even put their position into words, are you even qualified to have an opinion?
@@mgancarzjr Yes, there are four mentions of militias in the main text of the Constitution, in Article I, Section 8 and Article II, Section 2. The references all pertain to the militias being part of government service. As to any qualification I have, my law practice for more than forty years, has involved Constitutional issues in civil rights and criminal defense. Thanks for asking.
@@mhartan it should be easy for you, then, to state the opposition's view on what _a well regulated militia_ means. I don't care what your position is. I mock you because you can't even verbalize theirs. How good of a lawyer can you possibly be if you lack this ability?
@@mhartan It might answer your rhetorical question: _When the originalists want a certain outcome, they make up exceptions to their philosophy.

Unrealized gain tax is completely counter intuitive and hurts the middle class the most. Why should I have to pay tax on assets I bought but haven’t sold? This would mess up my retirement completely. Tax the extreme wealthy only
