Moonbattery has the best example that I can recall, of why the left and right will never see the Constitution the same. Principles! The principles the lefts’ values (Collectivism) are the polar opposite of the rights’ principles (Individualism).
Nicholas Goldberg of the Los Angeles Times is up-front about it:
The problem isn’t just with the justices. The problem, or at least a substantial portion of it, lies with the U.S. Constitution itself.
He finds an Expert to quote:
“It was written by a small group of white male landowners clustered along the Eastern Seaboard in a largely agrarian society in the late 1700s,” said David S. Law, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law who studies courts and constitutions around the world. “How could it possibly fit the needs of a highly diverse country of 300-plus-million people in the 21st century, a military and economic superpower in a globalized world, a highly developed, post-industrial nation that stretches from sea to shining sea?”
Because it is based on the timeless, universal principles of individual liberty, natural rights, and limited government is how.
What the left values is not liberty, or guaranteed rights. Rights the government cannot take. The left wants things the government is incapable of giving. Like “equality” “safety“ and lots of free stuff. The Right? They want actual rights protected, and to be let alone by politicians and regulators and tax officers. The right grasps what the left never will. A government that can “give” you everything, can also take it away.
