Happy Birthday to us.
I'm pleased to see that sanity may return to the US Supreme Court...as the founding fathers intended.
.
Constitutionalism is the idea, often associated with the political theories of John Locke and the founders of the American republic, that government can and should be legally limited in its powers, and that its authority or legitimacy depends on its observing these limitations.

Justice Ginsburg: “I Would Not Look to the U.S. Constitution”
.
https://www.dailysignal.com/2012/02/08/justice-ginsburg-i-would-not-look-to-the-u-s-constitution/
.
.
"Of course, the real reason progressives swoon over South Africa’s (100 pages long) constitution is that it goes far beyond merely establishing a framework for government and guarantees progressive policies—for example, by requiring legislation that prevents pollution and ecological degradation. In other words, the left’s real discontent with the U.S. Constitution is that it does not require Americans to adopt a progressive government and expansive welfare state that provides for every “right” social scientists can justify.

Americans should be very wary of those who would seek to upend the Constitution from the firm grounding in human nature that has allowed it to endure for more than two centuries and would transform it into an instrument devoted to policies of passing whimsy."

What the founding fathers intended for the SCOTUS is what we’ve been getting for at least half a century. You don’t really want to PARF this up, do you?

Apparently it had a "fast fuse". My fingers were swollen and throbbing for a couple of days. Big lesson learned there for a 12 year old.

Your Happy Birthday wish for our wonderful country is absent...so far.
Are you not enrolled in the spirit?

This country of ours allows a person the opportunity to be free and to prosper as one chooses...
to the extent that oppressive participants in government stay the hell out of our lives.

+1

I was born with privileges most of the world can only wish for, and one of them was being born in this country. Despite its many flaws, it is still a great place to live.
