Prorouging and the Supreme Court
In article ,
Jeff Layman wrote: The Americans are always said to have an advantage over us with their "clear" Constitution. But, for example, nobody over there can seem to agree on what "The Right to bear arms" actually means in practice. And, in any case, even if the Founding Fathers were quite clear in their intentions in 1776, would they still think the same way almost 250 years later? Quite. They'd have needed Turnip's crystal ball - or rather one which actually worked - to predict assault rifles. -- *The first rule of holes: If you are in one, stop digging!

Our interpretation of how that works is rather different from that in the USA. -- Colin Bignell |

The US constitution isnt. |

Lonely Psychopathic Senile Ozzie Troll Alert!
On Wed, 25 Sep 2019 19:46:36 +1000, cantankerous trolling geezer Rodent
Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: The English Bill of Rights also gives us the right to bear arms. Our interpretation of how that works is rather different from that in the USA. Because its nothing like as black and white as the US constitution and is just another act of parliament. The US constitution isnt. If someone wanted an asshole's opinion, they'd have farted, Australian asshole! -- Bod addressing senile Rot: "Rod, you have a sick twisted mind. I suggest you stop your mindless and totally irresponsible talk. Your mouth could get you into a lot of trouble." Message-ID: |
