Common law is a mechanism to slow social change,

which is exactly what our genius Founders wanted to avoid the fast change from like Hitler Stalin and Mao, Do you understand the Founders now?
 
You already did.

if so you'd be happy to point it out again and again in hope of looking smart. What does your fear teach you?

You bore me, Go Away. Thanks:2wave:
 
either way trump can get a lot done by himself and has a mandate to do what he said he'd do so opposition will have to be very careful.

If only it weren't for that pesky Constitution limiting the powers of the executive branch, he could indeed make all the trains run on time and no doubt do a lot more.

Not sure if you understand what you just said, but you compared social change to Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. Then you asked me if I understood the Founders.

Yes I understand that the framers were not Hitler, Stalin or Mao. Do you understand what you said, now that I've repeated it back to you?

yes our Founders were against rapid social change like that instituted by Hitler Stalin and Mao. Accordingly, they limited the power of govt more than ever in human history. Do you understand?

you do understand that the founders were radicals and that they had never heard of Hitler, Stalin or Mao, since those three were yet to be born when the founders did their founding....

... don't you?

Surely, everyone must understand that at least

Not sure if you understand what you just said, but do you really believe that limiting the power of the government will limit social change? Is that like how a Trump administration's conservative policies that prevent women from using birth control will reverse change? I think we know by now that Trump is at least planning on reversing Roe v. Wade.

It's not like I'm getting grabbed by the *****. When I mentioned to women that it might be nice to choose what I do with my body, some of them called me a deadbeat. Now we're going to have a racist, sexist administration in the white house, and everyone including Paul Ryan is prepared to use whatever legal power they have to say 'no' to Trump. I have to ask myself what feminism did for me except enable women to kick me when I was down.

Similarly, I think that a lot of the social change that happens under a Trump administration will take place because people do not have the legal authority to say 'no.' We aren't likely to see a lot of bipartisan cooperation, except when it comes to congressmen and congresswoman balking and digging in their heels.

Progressive change which took place under Obama involves knowing that one cannot afford to please everyone. Retrograde change under Trump will involve knowing that one cannot afford to piss everyone off.

How many people under Trump will ignore their allies who ignored them in the past, or neglect to form crucial alliances with people who profited by attacking them and their policies? For me, those people are uncompromising women who refuse to acknowledge that men have bodies and men make choices, too.
 
but do you really believe that limiting the power of the government will limit social change?.

Obviously if govt in Germany Russia China had been limited the social change brought by HItler Stalin and Mao would have been limited. Now you understand the basic principle of America. Feel's great-right?

No, America is not anti-revolutionary.
