Someone's bitter they never made it to the Supreme Court...
The bill of rights and constitution are still effective guidelines regardless of technological advancements. The left just likes to use this as an excuse to try and change it because they know the average American has never read the constitution and couldn't even give you more than 3 of the first 10 amendments.
But that nigga is speaking at the Federalist Society, which is all about the Bill of Rights

Dropped right there. Constitution outlines the basic guidelines that all laws must follow. As >>79007141 said, someone is pissy they didn't make it big as a constitutional lawyer and get on the Supreme Court

Jews hate the Constitution and try every day to destroy it.
Leftist gun control fag thinks the Constitution sucks, big surprise.

You're right, Freedom is speech is unneeded in today's atmopsherer
What the fuck is up with these cunts? It's like saying "it's outdated" is a very quick and easy way for them to disregard it. They don't explain HOW it's outdated, they just say that it is and move on. Another thing that must be asked is the threshold in which laws and orders become outdated? How easily do they become outdated?

There is very little about The USC that wouldn't exist in any Western country. It's the linux kernel of government. There isn't much that you can add or remove that wouldn't simply create a dictatorship

Ask him how he feels about rabbis having spent the last 2000 years studying the Torah and if it is still relevant.

the constitution adapts with the times and cant be outmoded thanks to the amendment process that allows it to adapt to the current times needs; all while ensuring to suppress the government's natural inclination towards absolutism. the biggest flaw of the constitution is the supreme court, which the founding fathers even acknowledged
>>79007642
I already knew before I even saw his name. It's always the same
