1st ammendment to the constitution since conservatives love to claim they support it
Ah! But it says "congress shall make no law," not that "the president shall tweet no bullshit!"
tbh, the founding fathers did fuck this up quite bad, by not including this
The constitution also didn't say "the president shall give a shit about the law"
Rookie mistake, IMO
It literally did, minus your contemporary idiom:
(It's called the "take care clause" and is part of Article II, Section 3, in case anybody wants to look it up.)
Not that it matters anymore, after Trump v. United States.
It was the first time they were writing a constitution. Obviously they were rookies
Second. The Articles of Confederation was first and failed.
Bold of you to assume that the US is a country still under the rule.of law.
Laws only matter if they are enforced.
The right wing doesn't care about law or consistency. They care about in-groups to protect and out groups to bind.
If "how do treat strangers" is a viable metric for assessing if someone is a good person or not, the the right wing are not good people.
Nah I'm pretty sure the 1st amendment just says I can say the N word /s
Oh, we don't use that outdated piece of paper any more, haven't you heard?
Yeah, it's way too woke. Same with Jesus.
Yeah but they're gonna rewrite the constitution, it's gonna be the best constitution the founding fathers will be jealous they didn't come up with this thing it's gonna be airtight and on the blockchain
Congress isn't making a law. Instead, the President is committing treason while his party pretends not to notice and the other party flops around like a dead fish.
That's not a problem if executive orders are treated as law; the first amendment doesn't curtail the president's power.
