Read it and weep, liberal ***.

As if your Supreme Court hadn't been stuffed with right wing idiots by
a succession of Republican administrations, who happen to have had the
good luck to be in power when previous Supreme Court judges have died.

They're doing their job, reading and interpreting the Constitution.
Even the Supremes, even the Congress, can't nullify the Bill of
Rights. Only the People can change it.

You should read the constitution. The mechanism to create and pass the 11th
through the 27th amendments are in the original core of the Constitution.
The 1st through 10th (aka "The Bill of Rights") were adopted at the same
time and with the Constitution itself.

Nope! The Constitution was ratified (New Hampshire) and went into
effect on June 21, 1788. The BOR wasn't proposed until Sept. 25,
1789 and was ratified by the states (under the rules set fourth by
the Constitution) on Dec. 15, 1791.


It is something to weep about, but your spectacularly high rate of gun
murder is one of the lesser evils that this unfortunate habit has won
for you.

Still, it's the law.

The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. All other law must be in
accordance with it, failure to make it so eventually results in the Supreme
Court finding it so and invalidating it. People who object to it tend to
call it "Legislating from the Bench". Deleting wrong-headed pseudo-laws
(All real US laws must conform to the US Constitution,) is a better
description. Don't know about you, but i do not know of any means for the
Judicial Branch of our Government to prepare the text of a proposed law,
approve it, nor present it to the Executive Branch for signature into law.

Sure. SCofUS doesn't have to mess with ugly things like writing laws.
All they have to do is declare that the Constitution says <whatever>
and like magic, it is so. That's exactly the problem.
