Obama Administration to Issue Decree on Transgender Access to School Restrooms

[GodFearinGunTotin]

The "perfect Union" clause in the preamble.

I was going to say the commerce clause or the 14th Amendment...they mean everything else to the ends (eh-hmm) justify the means crowd. Surely this would be in the penumbra of those sections.

I'm curious; what part of the Constitution supports forced sodomy as punishment for whatever crime you perceive the President as having committed?

I don't have my copy of the Consitution handy but I believe if you look in the index at the back there is an alphabetical listing. Impalement comes right before Impeachment.

I believe that is the same clause that grants the president the power to dictate bathroom access policy.

Ah. The Welfare Clause.

Exactly!

 

[Lowe0]

Exactly!

I had no idea that that allowed cruel or unusual punishment. But hey, since you're willing to put that part of the Constitution aside....

Good question, despite what appears perilously close to trolling. However, Obama would probably enjoy it, negating any cruelty, and as often as privacy is violated, it would very quickly no longer be able to be called unusual, so there's the 8A negated with respect to this question.

Seriously, however, I don't believe that his remark was intended to be taken literally. But you knew that, right?

Blessings,
Bill

What difference does it make how he intended it to be taken?

Wait, NOW we're worried about the Constitution?

 

[Woobie]

What difference does it make how he intended it to be taken?

Nuance. The meaning behind the meaning. One can usually expect someone of equal or better intellect to catch on. Everyone else is left blustering about the flaw in the face value meaning that wasn't the meaning at all.

First, my point is that it is disingenuous to scream "CONSTITUTION" in Obama's support when he has made a career of disregarding the Constitution.

Second, do you really believe that I am going to go to Washington and shove a plunger up Obama's ass? How do you on one hand treat a flippant remark as a travesty while not having any problem with a president flagrantly violating the Constitution?

Well...it did derail the conversation.

It changed the conversation from how the president of the United States did actually act unconstitutionally to how your remark makes you the bad guy instead.

 

[Bill of Rights]

Well...it did derail the conversation.

It changed the conversation from how the president of the United States did actually act unconstitutionally again to how your remark makes you the bad guy instead.

FTFY. I've lost count how many times he's done that personally, let alone what he's responsible for under his administration.

Heh! Yeah, again...

I thought you were referencing the poster at this point...

 

[Bill of Rights]

Nope. I can't expect to violate the site rules in one post and expect everyone else to follow them in another. I don't do "do as I say, not as I do." My reference was to Obama and his administration.

 

[cobber]

Certainly. Heaven forbid we care what people actually mean, if we can derive offense therefrom.

Now let's all find our safe spaces shall we and

Read this morning that indian tribes in NE Montana gave the administration the middle finger and said their public restrooms will follow biology, not feelings. They have death, drugs, and a lot of other serious issues, this one has to take a back seat. I like what the council said, that no one cared what people did in their own bathrooms - that's their business - but for public bathrooms, are the council's business. The council said they'd rather adult males did not enter the same bathroom with female children. Settled.

Why does stating the obvious common sense approach seem brave in today's culture?

I thought it was interesting this was even news - NATIONAL news. A council which governs about 6000 people in NE Montana states for the record to follow biology when using public restrooms on the res, and that's national news. Really?!
