Extra-Special Bonus QOTD 0

From remarks by President Biden (emphasis added):

“Look, extreme MAGA Republicans don’t just threaten our personal rights and economic security,” he continued. “I’m not talking all Republicans. I’m talking about these extreme MAGA Republicans. Think about it. Think about it. The definition of democracy is you accept the will of the people when votes are honestly counted. These guys don’t do it. Name me a democracy in the world where a leader argues to engage in violence.”

Originalist Sin 1

Mark W. Schwiebert points out that the concept of Constitutional Originalism is, in fact, contrary to the thoughts of those who originated the Constitution.

Here’s a bit from his article (emphasis added); follow the link for the rest.

. . . the Founders themselves disapproved of the idea. James Madison, commonly considered to be the “Father of the Constitution,” described his understanding of constitutional purpose as follows: “In framing a system which we wish to last for ages, we should not lose sight of the changes that ages will produce.” He elsewhere declared: “No axiom is more clearly established in law, or in reason, than that wherever the end is required, the means are authorized; wherever a general power to do a thing is given, every particular power necessary for doing it, is included.”

Aside:

To be blunt, the motivating factor behind “Constitutional Originalism” it to restore the 3/5s clause, if not de jure, at least de facto. All the rest is smoke screen.

If One Standard Is Good, Two Must Be Better, Reprise 0

Man:  Biden's plan to forgive student debt is an outrage!  Sparky:  Well, sure, it should have gone further--but it's still going to help a lot of people.  Man:  That's not what I mean, and you know it.  It's an insult to everyone who ever worked hard to pay off their student own student loans.

Mongers of Fear, What’s in a Word? Dept. 0

What’s in a word? The short answer is, well, “fear.”

Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years. Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called farm price supports. Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Mangy comments at the Youtube page:

When asked about his role in the ‘fake elector’ scheme meant to steal the 2020 election, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson downplayed his part in it, saying he was only involved in it for “a few seconds”. If only other criminal-types were as brilliant as Ron Johnson, they could have used this foolproof defense. Mangy Fetlocks imagines how such logic might have played out in one other Wisconsin case.
