    If nothing else, this conversation really shows that having humility in one's opinions and the ability to wholeheartedly entertain opposing point of views is indeed a sign of a sophisticated mind.

    I follow the pragmatic approach or what could even be labeled as “current textualism” where we define words during our time, not the 18th century and Staris decisis with consequence and purpose too

    Wow! Outstanding explanation ' Be careful, don't go too far '...reasoning in the nature of the job.

    I like knowing his arguments. Not because I agree with them, but because I do not.

    The founding fathers drafted the constitution, in particular, the bill of rights, within the context of a long historical acknowledgment of tyrants and despots. Thus, the bill of rights was introduced to protect individuals from the given historical context of political and military power based on the distrust of human nature with presumed authoritative powers.

      ...and yet the ABA has effectively overturned the Bill of Rights without the bother of a Constitutional Convention and the rest of that nonsense.

    Mmm. I get his point about the public respecting the court's decision, but there is a limit. I don't think the public should have accepted Dred Scott.
