If Kavanaugh gets the job as the next U.S. Supreme Court Judge, does that mean the people who voted for him think Christine Blasey Ford was lying about her claim that he sexually assaulted her? I'm not saying every allegation against someone should kill a career, but the Supreme Court judges should be held to a very high standard, and this Kavanaugh controversy would make me vote against him. There's no acceptable excuse for his actions if the sexual assault allegations against him are true, and any lingering doubt about his character would always hang over me if I voted him into such a high position of authority, which should be as squeaky clean as possible.

To me, this really isn't a partisan thing. If there is doubt about a person's character, I don't think he or she should be appointed as a Supreme Court Judge. The mind is a weird and mysterious place

Brett Kavanaugh is described as a very conservative official. He is a traditionalist, that is, for a literary interpretation of the United States Constitution from 1789. So nothing has changed in 229 years in the US when it comes to laws? No needs for amendments? For all I know languages and their meanings change over time. 229 years is a long time. ID: 1958924 · |

Conservatives think that the text should be interpreted strictly, the Liberal believes that current circumstances should also be included, which is of great importance when deciding on issues such as LGBT rights or religious freedom. In 1789 there where no LGBT rights or religious freedom in the USA. ID: 1958963 · |

We have never, excepting Alcohol Probation, reduced any Individual Rights because of the Passions of the Day. Tobacco, helmets for cyclists, seat belts in cars, drugs, I disagree. Frankly I do agree with these restrictions. ID: 1958974 · |

Freedom as such could perhaps be defined by the Constitution, but except for still both hawks and doves, who are supposed to be making the Laws? I think we sometimes could make it Rights as well, because your country has not seen any oppression since the Civil War, which should not be discussed further. But rather watching a documentary here, for that of a lull in the session, and it became color videos showing Adolf Hitler emerging from poverty, ending up a Dictator in central Europe, after expelling a couple of internal anniversaries first. But rather a weird thought, for that of making it "Sitting Bull", for only a couple of Indians instead, and yet another story for only that of past or bygone time. Perhaps the final outcome of any decision making could still be that of war and conflicts, because I was asking who are supposed to be making the Laws. We could perhaps benefit for just make it a stable and free world, but supposedly such a world could be still based on such a thing as Rights, for also judiciary Laws. If perhaps the other thing, or even more to it, perhaps rather a bit of science instead, for where such a thing supposedly belongs. ID: 1958975 · |

Not even modernized and simplified the text in general? We have. Last time in 2009. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Laws_of_Sweden#Amendment_of_2009 In 2009, the Riksdag approved Proposition 2009/10:80, "A Reformed Constitution" (Swedish: En reformerad grundlag), making substantial amendments to the Instrument of Government, and related acts.[2][3]Well our first constitution is from about 1341. There are actually some of those laws still ruling but of course updated over time so people can understand them and also adapted to the current values of the time:) https://mdvlnld.wordpress.com/2015/02/26/magnus-erikssons-landslag-in-holm-kb-b-6/  ID: 1958980 · |

Please explain why you disagree with my answer that those Rights enumerated in the US Constitution doesn't include drugs, nor precludes the Government's authority to control and regulate drugs, traffic laws, etc. Because you did not answer the direct question. Having a conversation with you is like trying to talk to a wall. ID: 1959167 · |

Continue to deny that I informed Robert that the Rights enumerated in the US Constitution, does not include "weed". Rights, Ha Ha Ha. The prisons are full of pot heads as Robert stated. ID: 1959179 · |

Dear Sirius B. and betreger, Richard N. Gottfried, a state assemblyman from Manhattan who wrote the 1977 law, said it drove down arrests for two decades before the rise of proactive, aggressive street policing rendered the law moot in New York City.Nothing to do with the Constitution ID: 1959252 · |

Dear Clyde Your inability to stay on a single topic is troublesome to many. This began with my response to a line you posted.... here it is.... are you ready?..... this is copied directly from your own post.... no one else is responsible for these words..... it's all you. "We have never, excepting Alcohol Probation, reduced any Individual Rights because of the Passions of the Day." I simply pointed out that you forgot about the poor souls doing hard time for having a plant in their pocket. Do not use this response to start assuming how I interpret US law or the US constitution. My opinion of how your constitution will be interpreted matters not a whit, also you have that a$$hat Kavanaugh on the job now and he will be the decider.

We have never, excepting Alcohol Probation, reduced any Individual Rights because of the Passions of the Day. This seems to be where the current disagreement started, and it appears to have been a due to a misunderstanding. Clyde meant that there was any restriction in the U.S. Constitution of personal liberties of anything except alcohol usage, which was of course soon repealed. All of these examples were outside the Constitution and had nothing to do with it so are irrelevant. (Of course I'm sure some ugly-minded people have claimed that the 13th was a restriction of their right to own other humans, but of course as that amendment affirmed vastly more rights than it took away, I discount them. :^p)
