@SWAGaming4184@jerseyh0mo@NigarPatti9130@TheMapleLass@GemmaNoiosi So kids chose childhood cancer? I chose to have a brain tumor at 14? Children choose to be abused? Women choose to be beat by their husbands/boyfriends? Babies choose genetic/congenital disorders? Boy am I excited for whatever answer you are going to come up with.
@iowagolddsm@OrevaZSN the ratification argument is a legal theory, not an established fact. every branch of government has treated the 14th amendment as valid law for over 150 years, even if you disagree with how it’s been interpreted.
@iowagolddsm@OrevaZSN whether the 14th amendment was properly interpreted is a fair debate. Claiming courts adopted that interpretation to “import voters” is a separate claim that requires evidence. You are jumping from constitutional interpretation to a political motive claim.
@iowagolddsm@OrevaZSN then we’re back to interpretation, not ratification. “The courts interpreted it wrong” and “the amendment isn’t law” are two different arguments
@iowagolddsm@OrevaZSN thats Adams, not Madison. and you’re answering why you oppose Islam, not what constitutional principle would prevent a state majority from establishing it
@iowagolddsm@OrevaZSN congress. so your answer is yes—a state could establish Islam if the majority wanted it. that’s the logical consequence of your position.
@iowagolddsm@OrevaZSN So if georgia established christianity , utah established mormonism, and another state established islam, you’d consider all of those constitutional?
@iowagolddsm@OrevaZSN Georgia using God in their preamble is vastly different than forcing me to attend church every Sunday, is that your point? That states are allowed to use religious language in legal work?
