Conservative Supreme Court Justices choose what works for their agenda. They claim to believe in originalism but when it won't work for a particular issue they are happy to switch gears and favor a little something called common good constitutionalism. Which is really just living constitutionalism dressed up in nasty. I have no respect for individuals with changeable morality like that. I believe this reflects a lack of commitment at best and at worse it shows a desire to put a specific agenda, for many conservatives it is religion, above any truth or honor. That is the heart of the matter.

I heard clips of the hearing on other people's computers and one of the things I heard sounded like questions about the right to vote. It sounded like people were talking as though the right to vote is constitutional. It is not. There's is no right to vote in the constitution or the Bill of Rights. The 15th Amendment guaranteed that the right to vote would not be denied on account of race. But that still didn’t recognize a right to vote – only the right of equal treatment. The 19th Amendment banned voting discrimination on the basis of sex, but did not recognize an inherent right to vote. The 2 amendments I would love to see added to the constitution is the right to vote and an abolishment of the doctrines of corporate personhood and of money equaling political speech (Citizens United).

Wow
I didn't know that the right to vote was not enshrined in a law.

Here we have compulsery voting,you get fined if you don't
Our problem is the media and ignorance
truth is 98% of Australians are as dumb as a box of rocks,and have an attitude of "what's in it for me"It's also 98% white
when my ex from the US came here,she asked"where are all your POC"

my answer
we kill them,or work them to death...............bit of an exageration,but its very white here.

the sad thing is even our first nation look white,as rape was a form of genicide,if you dilute Aboriginal blood,you look white.

mt g grandfather was Aboriginal,but I look totally white
