The "Pack the Court" video is why democracies fail. Mob rule, tyranny of the majority is why the US Constitution has been critical. The minority, in this case an unborn child, needs protection.
9th amendment: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people". I take that to mean that there are more rights to be defined by future laws and governments democratically.
The left's interpretation is that anything not mentioned in the Constitution is therefore a "retained" right (unless they disagree with it). Really? Like public nudity or driving without a seat belt. Or beating your dog. Constitution didn't mention those so I guess it's included in your right to privacy. Makes zero sense.
Whether this clown is dementia ridden or not, he and his handlers play the thug bully game with perfection. Look at the damage (hopefully not irreparably) in the past 1+ year. Part of the game I suppose is underestimating the competent evil this clown possesses.
Let's put a positive spin on this...Joe was (mostly) able to string a few (somewhat) coherent sentences together in this particular instance. Things might be looking up! Said no one ever. But hey, go get 'em Joe!
it's hilarious he brings up the right to privacy in context of the 9th amendment considering he's so intent on removing our 1st amendment rights.
not to mention that his 1995 "anti crime" bill and the p.a.t.r.i.o.t. act he helped write both blatantly destroy our constitutional rights to privacy in favor of the Security State surveillance capabilities.
he's such a tool, and doesn't hesitate to lie through his teeth at any time his actions conflict with the law.
The sad part always when discussing the Patriot Act is that many, including myself, had no clue how disastrous that could be when it happened and we were ignoring the shouts by those of you who knew.
Except that the Court, aside from being a political joke, is already rigged, as are the elections. Packing it would make no difference, maybe even a good thing, open people's eyes to the farce that it is.
It is a truth universally unacknowledged that everyone wants to be Ruler of the Universe and believes everyone else is unfit for the role.
Heck, I'd like to be Empress of same. I can't point to any nation anywhere I feel is being governed appropriately.
But I'll admit for the trazillionth time that granted the inherent flaws in human nature when any of us anywhere tries to come together and build a society, them dead white men who wrote our Constitution and created its failsafes were maybe smarter and more prescient than, like, anyone else ever.
I haven't wanted to fix the world's problems by being the Big Dictator since high school when I was at least halfway clueless about how messed up the world's governments are.
haha! i always wanted to be Dictator of the World. i said that once to a friend and he replied "i'd vote for you." i said "i don't need your vote. I'M THE DICTATOR!"
Maybe I'm in the minority but I have literally zero desire to be "Ruler of the Universe". Besides being a lot of damn work, I'd be an awful ruler. I just want the government to get the hell out of my life and let me do my thing.
Which is why several of our founding fathers said things like “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams
Fine, I'll accept. Ok, as Ruler you'll all be required to never wear masks, never buy electric cars, and never call me on NFL Sundays. Let it be written, let it be done!
Those terms are quite acceptable to any reasonable person. Unfortunately there are precious few of those. Please do something to remedy that, oh benevolent and merciful!
Maybe he would like to start advocating for the 10th Amendment as well, thereby reducing the size of the federal government by an enormous amount.
After the last two years, nobody in Government is qualified to discuss Rights. Hypocrites.
Isn't the "Im not allo-" the key part? What other word than "allowed" fits that text?
"I'm not allowing" (this is be handled by the public)

underestimating our resilience.

Was he about to say, "I'm not allowed"?
I think "I'm not allowing....."
hmmmm, 9th amendment, right to privacy. would that include medical privacy and the right to privately decide that you don't want to be vaccinated?
Seems like everything this clown says is opposite, so probably no privacy for us serfs.
When it doubt, bring up your ninth amendment rights. (Anyone else try it when asked to put on a face mask?)

"Damned pesky Constitution (and elections)!"

Well, they've literally just created a "Ministry of Truth" because they can't handle being called bad names (even when they're true): https://mobile.twitter.com/stillgray/status/1522434838326034433?s=20&t=5Y7dt-6zftv0a1_djQdq-A
Just imagine what they'll do to get and stay in power. One almost thinks they might be capable of stealing it.
Side note: the empty egg carton comment is damned hilarious! 😂

Da Brain?
I'll take being the Multivitamin Fairy instead, if I can't get the top job...
Brilliant.

The trouble is that the only way to get government the hell out of your life is to be the Ruler of the Universe, apparently. A lamentable problem.
I’m most concerned with this title going to Schwab, Soros, Tedros, Gates, Xi or a number of others.
they're too incompetent for it. sure, they'll huff and they'll puff and....well, we're smarter than them. and funnier.
An unsolvable conundrum.

Ok, no calls on NFL Syndays, but only if you fix the definition of a "catch". Even among refs, there's no consensus!!!
As long as I need not be your subject...

If you can't win the game with your players and strategy, you either have to bribe the ref or change the rules.
