145 million for 6 miles of wall

[Harpy Eagle]

Yeah, just keep believing the terms used didn't mean exactly what Howard said at the time they were written. The Constitution is NOT a suicide pact.

.

You and I can go back and forth all day and night, eventually SCOTUS will have to weigh in on this one. Till then you and I will likely never agree.

I am a Textualist which is defined as:

An originalist who gives primary weight to the text and structure of the Constitution. Textualists often are skeptical of the ability of judges to determine collective "intent."

Theories of Constitutional Interpretation

You only need to look at the common usage and understood meanings of the words, at the time the text was written. Then you have the congressional and ratification debates. It's not freaking rocket science.

.

And yet here we are with 100 plus years of the words being viewed differently than you view them.

funny coming from someone that thinks the 2nd only applies to muskets.

Just because the 14th has been misinterpreted for years does not make that interpretation right.

If I understand Gator correctly, he is saying that the 2nd applies to all weapons. Both the right and the left have worked to limit our possession of all sorts of weapons through illegal/unconstitutional legislation.

Correct me if I am wrong, Gator.

You are correct. Most on the “right” have no problem with things like machines guns and grenade launchers being illegal to own for most people.

Which goes against the idea the 2nd is there to keep the government in check

Proving once again you have never read the 2nd. The 2nd does not mention muskets, it only says “arms”, it is morons like you that limit it to firearms and supports the government limiting other arms.

Excellent deflection. Too bad it fails. I can't count how many times i've heard buttstain libs talking about muskets and 2nd. Anyone with any sense has read it.

There will be six miles worth of 18 foot wall, a bit less and way shorter than Trump told us it would be

conveying citizenship on the children of people here illegally is a violation of the constitution, so its you that wants to ignore it.

`
If that's the case, why hasn't there been any lawsuits to stop it?

There have been. They used the old interpretation and never made it to SCOTUS.
