To be fair to Buz and now i feel dirty, he didn't say that they shouldn't be allowed to practice their religion (though i suspect those are his true feelings on the subject), just that his petty and jealous god would punish them for it.

Re: The Constitution is OLD
It isn't right to allow a few fallible judges to interpret it the way they want to.
But thats exactly what the constitution allows. The Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of what is or isn't unconstitutional.

Re: The Constitution is OLD
Got an actual court ruling instead of just quotes by TJ? I suggest you read up on Marbury v. Madison.

Re: The Constitution is OLD
You are suggesting that I take a court judgment as the authority over the view of one of the founding fathers? Clever.
Why is the ruling of the supreme court of the land inferior to the opinion of an founding father? If the founding fathers didn't want a supreme court then they shouldn't have created one.
It's called checks and balances. The legislature and executive work together to create and enact laws while the supreme court is one preventing those laws from violating the constitution.

Re: The Constitution is OLD
The Constitution created the three branches equal, it did not grant the Supreme Court power over the other two.
The branches are equal, but not indentical they each have different duties, the supreme's job is to be the ultimate court of the land and to be a check on the other two branches. Where in the constitution do the legislature and exectutive get the power to create/enact laws that violate the constitution? what check is there on this kind of behaviour if not the supreme court?

Re: The Constitution is OLD
If the Executive and Legislative are acting unconstitutionally, you think the Supreme Court's acting unconstitutionally is going to remedy things?
What other remedy is there short of an armed uprising?

Re: Such as?
And the KKK is outlawed and subject to legal action against their criminal behavior.
The KKK isn't outlawed. They've commited illegal actions in the past and probably still do, but actual membership in the group isn't illegal.

Re: Voting Rights
Since women are more emotional and easily persuaded and manipulated, imo, voting is not included in their role, though their legitimate role in culture is no less important than that of the male.
So not surprisingly Buz is a sexist as well as a racist.
