I see that Neil Gorsuch has written a book, "A Republic, If You Can Keep It," lamenting the loss of civility in public life, but never mentioning Trump's classless activities, while explaining why we should only interpret the Constitution to mean what the 17th century framers were thinking.
Those framers must have had a truly strange prophetic vision to think about semi-automatic rifles, that wouldn’t be invented for more than 100 years, but which they covered as part of the 2nd Amendment, while missing little things like (1) getting rid of fucking slavery, (2) women’s suffrage and their right to control their own bodies, (3) LGBTQ rights and (4) immigration policies that have some vague hint of sanity about them.
How any intelligent, educated person can read the Constitution and not recognize that it is a framework meant to live and breathe as the world changes baffles me. That's one of the reasons that we have thousands upon thousands of pages of constitutional case law.
Honestly Neil, we have a better chance of keeping that Republic without folks like you.
