This fucking Kike lawyer is attempting to subvert your Constitution by claiming it's outdated.
"Seventh Circuit Judge Richard Posner sees “absolutely no value” in studying the U.S. Constitution because “eighteenth-century guys” couldn’t have possibly foreseen the culture and technology of today.
In a recent op-ed for Slate, Judge Posner, a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, argued that the original Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the post–Civil War amendments “do not speak to today.”
“I see absolutely no value to a judge of spending decades, years, months, weeks, day, hours, minutes, or seconds studying the Constitution, the history of its enactment, its amendments, and its implementation (across the centuries — well, just a little more than two centuries, and of course less for many of the amendments),” he wrote. “Eighteenth-century guys, however smart, could not foresee the culture, technology, etc., of the 21st century.”

He added, “let’s not let the dead bury the living.”
Judge Posner, an outspoken opponent of late Justice Antonin Scalia, also blasted “absurd” posthumous encomia for the late conservative.
“I worry that law professors are too respectful of the Supreme Court, in part perhaps because they don’t want to spoil the chances of their students to obtain Supreme Court clerkships,” he wrote. “I think the Supreme Court is at a nadir. The justices are far too uniform in background, and I don’t think there are any real stars among them; the last real star, Robert Jackson, died more than 60 years ago. I regard the posthumous encomia for Scalia as absurd. Especially those of Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow and Justice Elena Kagan.”
David Bernstein, who teaches at Antonin Scalia Law School, formerly George Mason University School of Law, called Judge Posner’s swipe at Scalia “revolting.”
“We all know Posner doesn’t think highly, to say the least, of Scalia. Judging from what Posner writes, the distaste seems to stem primarily from jealousy — Posner thinks he would be a far better Supreme Court Justice than Scalia was, and he resents that as a ‘lower court’ judge, his writings, though highly influential in their own right, will never get the same attention and accolades as Scalia,” Mr. Bernstein wrote."

how would culture or technology impact rights and freedoms?
what?
Terrible fact, Americunts: your constitution doesn't build a better society than the legal foundation of many other democracies.
In fact it's arguably worse given how every time one of your cities goes up in riots it's because of either a police action or some shitheads protesting who would be clamped down on in other countries.
>>79326954
Fuck that piece of shit, he has no business teaching law in the USA.
Anyone who would cite this man as an influence on them should be barred from any profession in law.
>>79326954
Completely retarded
The USC is so minimal it's basically the kernel of government. There is nearly nothing in it that any free society shouldn't already contain.
>>79326954
It is outdated.
Time to start living in the 21st Century.
>>79327364
Underrated.
Our Founding fathers wrote a lot more than just the constitution and it's pretty apparent from their body of work apparent that they considered culture and tech and deemed them important enough that thry exist upstream from any of our political machinations. It's called freedom of speech and freedom of association. This robekike geyd that but he hates the very idea.
>>79328051
^and this
Its true. I think there are amendments that need to be changed, hence why its called AMENDment. For example the second amendment needs to go because it promotes gun violence, and its not the wild west anymore.
>>79326954
It is outdated, but based on his statements he's either just trying to make a point or is actually retarded.
>>79329200
I think that there are admendments that need to be changed. For example, the first amendment needs to go because it promotes political dissent, and its not the 50s where we can hold differing opinions anymore.

>by claiming it's outdated
Nobody is suggesting it is anything but outdated. The document is ancient.
Criminal courts in the US by vast majority deal with peasants being sent to prison for drug offences, motoring offences or domestic violence. Civil courts deal by vast majority with financial disputes, personal injury claims and bankruptcies.
A gaggle of 18th century landlords waffling on paper is of no functional relevance to the vast majority of US judges.

That piece of shit should be impeached. He makes an oath to uphold the Constitution upon taking office.
>>79329417
let's take out that whole amendment that says black people aren't slaves either
For example blacks promote 80% of urban violence in the US, it's not the wild west anymore, we need to contain this threat

That Judge serves on the Seventh Circuit court to hear legal challenges based directly on the Constitution. When he is appointed to that office, he must take an oath to uphold the Constitution. The Court he sits on was formed by Congress in accordance with the Constitution. He claims, from his bench created by the Constitution, where he rules on subject matter of the Constitution, after taking an oath to uphold the Constitution, that the Constitution has no value.
This is a radical who wants to impose his will on the people. He does not believe in the consent of the governed.

>That Judge serves on the Seventh Circuit court to hear legal challenges based directly on the Constitution.
He does. The vast, vast majority of US judges are not. Judges in criminal courts sit there all day processing peasants. Judges in US family courts sit there all day processing bickering peasants or their children. Judges in US civil courts sit there all day processing peasants.
The justice system in the US is by vast majority a rubber stamping process. The US constitution is a distant irrelevance to the vast majority of its function. The constitutional issues that are discussed in the circuit and supreme court are a noisy, narrow footprint distraction from the normal work of the courts.

His argument is not that it is irrelevant to most judges because most judges don't rule directly on issues of the Constitution. His argument is that it is irrelevant to all judges because it was written before some unstated date. At no point does anyone ask him what would make a Constitution relevant to him.
>>79329200
I too think that there are amendments that need to be changed. For example, the fourth amendment needs to go because it promotes a neutered police force that cannot enforce the law. What good is it to our citizens if law enforcement has to file for a warrant just to search a pedophile's hard drive? What good is it to our citizens if law enforcement has to file for a warrant just to have a look in a terrorist's backpack? If you have nothing to hide, you literally have nothing to fear.

>His argument is that it is irrelevant to all judges
Of course he is wrong. Not all judges, just the vast majority.
>>79331783
The point is that the law can fuck off when it's wrong.

It's to keep the police from actively trying to invade everyone's privacy unless there's a reason to do so. When police suspect something with good reason, there are judges on call 24/7 to approve warrants for them.
You're a cuckposter if I ever saw one.

>>79332286
The majority of cases never invoke the USC. It's rare that sunshine isn't given a fair trial to the degree that the court needs to be involved same with unfair punishment. Most of the stupid shit judges have to do like minimum sentencing are put in place by the Feds.
