The last post is the WINNER!

[PoetPhilosopher]

winning by not thinking the constitution is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules

I see the Constitution as the landmark legal document. The problem with law though is it's often open to interpretation and loopholes.

Winning by realizing that treating the Constitution as if it's 100% applicable to everything today is no different than trying to do the same thing with the Bible or Quran.

Wining with the thinking of...why am I not surprised....so you read it yet?

Winning by seeing a thread title and deciding NOT to look at it because I am 100% certain it will engage me FAR beyond my normal levels of being enraged

Rule of thumb: The body of the thread is, 99 times out of 100, worse than the title.

A snarky put down that my comprehension is ever so much less did not require me to do anything but snark back.

The fact that my way of looking at the document is perfectly valid and a recognized way to interpret ie a "living Constitution" form of jurisprudence survives and wins.

And your response to my original post comparing it to the bible and the quran wasn't snarky......alrighty then....and you can look at it anyway you want...assuming you have actually looked at it...... so....have you read it......I keep asking and yet you have not yet answered that question.......

And since the previous posts was referring to the Constitution and that could lead one to think about the founding fathers.... I shall now win with a famous book from one of them

Winning without the silly Constitution & Bible equating.

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

winning by not making comments on others' predilictions

I guess I win in that regard too. But mostly because I stayed out of that discussion other than to dance around the subject and keep score.

Do I remember reading every word of it? No. Do I remember reading the preamble, some sections of the main document, the amendments? yes.

For example, I had totally forgotten that "Letters of Marque and Reprisal" were in that document.

So how about you answering the same question.
