Is there any part of the Constitution Republicans aren't against?

I'm still waiting for that one as well... Surprised he hasn't even tried the lame "but... but GENERAL WELFARE!!!!" argument yet...

Don't be naive, a lot of things aren't specified in the Constitution, i.e., Executive Action, Executive Privilege, formation of Air Force, military draft, number of Justices on SCOTUS, paper money, Federal Reserve, political parties, primary elections, etc., etc., etc..

The Commerce Clause, Article I Section 8, Judicial Review, 14th Amendememt, plus an array of other vehicles make the Constitution a living document, it is not locked in the 18th Century, even Jefferson admitted that he wasn't a strict constructionist

What does any of that have to do with the enumerated legislative powers of Congress?

It is not "living". It says what it says, and the words mean what they meant at the moment that they were written down. The document does, however, include an amendment process which must be followed if any changes to the document are proposed.

I know the whole Constitution quite well.

Here are some of the sections which Lefties outright reject, including but not limited to (as many Lefties even reject the document as a whole):

Article 1 (especially Section 8)
Article 2
Article 3
Article 4 Section 4
Article 5
Article 6
Amendment 1
Amendment 2
Amendment 4
Amendment 5
Amendment 6
Amendment 9
Amendment 10
Amendment 11
Amendment 12
Amendment 14
Amendment 23

Damn Lefties. Don't they know you're only allowed to reject muh constitution if you have the Magic R?

 

[Into the Night]

I disagree. I think the Republicans know they're screwed with the Fucking Moron in the White House and they're trying to throw up as many smokescreens and deflections as possible to distract people from the Impeachment. They know all about impeachment. They went through it just 20 years ago.

The republicans are coming across as flaming hypocrites because they're criticizing things they did in 1998 during the Clinton Impeachment proceedings.

And if the Republicans don't vote to impeach the Orange Turd, I'll never vote for a candidate with an (R) after their name again. And that's a fucking promise.

I doubt you ever did anyway. Empty threat. Argument of the Stick fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

Amazing how fast right wing designed talking points get echoed repeatedly

Now tell us given the current House is largely following previous impeachment procedures with recent GOP Committee rules revisions added how this is a "KGB persecution?"

It isn't following previous impeachment procedures.

 

[Into the Night]

Into the Night must've gotten up early to get his radicalized right wing talking points from Townhall.com or RightWingNews.com.

They are such minion puppets.

Inversion fallacy.

Damn Lefties. Don't they know you're only allowed to reject muh constitution if you have the Magic R?

The "Magic R" is not allowed to reject it either.

Don't be naive, a lot of things aren't specified in the Constitution,

If the Constitution does not specifically give the federal government a power, it does not have that power.

i.e., Executive Action,

Specified. See Article II.

Executive Privilege,

Specified. See Article II.

formation of Air Force,

Specified. See Article I.

military draft,

Specified. See Article I.

number of Justices on SCOTUS,

Specified. See Article III.

paper money,

Not a function of government.

Federal Reserve,

Unconstitutional. Congress had no authority to create a central bank or to declare anything but gold and silver as money.

political parties,

Not a function of government.

primary elections,

Not a function of government. Provided as a service for the convenience of major parties by several States. Each party specifies the rules of election within their party in each State.

The Commerce Clause, Article I Section 8,

Not a power or authority. A directive. You cannot use the 'commerce clause' argument to cancel the rest of the Constitution.

Judicial Review, 14th Amendememt,

The 14th amendment does not mention judicial review.

plus an array of other vehicles make the Constitution a living document,

The Constitution is not a 'living document'. It is simply a document. It has fixed procedures for changing it. You can't use this buzzword to justify denying the Constitution.

it is not locked in the 18th Century,

Nobody ever said it was. It still applies today. All of it.

even Jefferson admitted that he wasn't a strict constructionist

Contextomy fallacy.

That's the usual response. It clearly shows they have no idea about what that means.

 

[CFM]

Sounds like you're just mad that you can't call me a hypocrite like I can to you.

I've already proven you're a hypocrite and you've yet to do so with me despite claiming it.

It is not "living". It says what it says, and the words mean what they meant at the moment that they were written down. The document does, however, include an amendment process which must be followed if any changes to the document are proposed.

Oh, so I guess that means the 3rd Amendment still applies now

You people requested to know where items specifically not mentioned in the Constitution came from and I told even providing examples

Strict Constructionism, following the Constitution word by word, is as antiquated as covered wagons

Excuse me, show me specifically where it states in the Constitution where all those items allowed. Show me the exact words that allowed for the Gov't to create an Air Force. Your man wanted to know where abortion, food stamps, etc were listed in the Constitution, and pointed out his lack of understanding of the Constitution

And you wasted all those particles just to make yourself appear lost

 

[domer76]

Yeah, we know, you're a constitutional scientist, the expert on everything constitutional

Light years ahead of you ignorant, RW morons.

He DID already. He listed the Articles where those things are specified. I was going to do the same thing as he did in my response, but I figured it would be wasted effort with you. I was correct about that. But hey, at least other readers can now inform themselves if they wish to...

Incorrect, you, and your man "c" wanted to know where the likes of food stamps was listed in the Constitution

Again, show me the exact words, show me where it says in the Constitution the Gov't can start an Air Force.

None of those are specified under the Articles he listed, rather implied, big difference, you Trumpkins are requesting one thing and then when delivered attempting to save face while answering your own question in the process

I doubt you ever did anyway. Empty threat. Argument of the Stick fallacy.

Of course you doubt it. Therein lies your problem. You only believe that which makes you feel most comfortable. I can tell you that I've voted Republican about 70% of the time for the last 40 years. Voted for Reagan twice. But you can continue to live in your delusional world and make up your own reality. You support Trump so that's evidence you struggle with fantasy and reality.

Why do you use two identities, Into the Night?

 

[CFM]

Light years ahead of you ignorant, RW morons.

Yet you can't show, despite being asked many times, where terms like healthcare, food stamps, marriage, and abortion are in the Constitution.

 

[CFM]

Nothing is implied about healthcare, food stamps, marriage, and abortion.

If you can't provide it, say so. No one thought you could. There's a reason why you can't, nigger.

 

[Joe Capitalist]

Why do you use two identities, Into the Night?

Because he's a Russian troll working for TrumPutin.
