    I’m all for challenging things the government does that are illegal. The legalities of big issues are generally not settled until at minimum a district court, but usually the supreme court. The government is always doing illegal shit and I support the first for speech and protest and redress of grievences and the rest of it. And the second for reasons too many people here don’t yet appreciate enough. And the fourth because asking for my papers for no reason is Nazi shit and they should be told to fuck off. And all the rest of them too, but a lot on the left say the Constitution is obsolete and should be ignored.

    Yeah we should be challenged governmental overreach but we should be doing that when Dems are in power too. I’m not on the right or the left. I’m anti authoritarian and I agree they’re overstepping, but nobody complains when they’re overstepping to do the things they want done.

      I haven’t seen a single soul on the left argue for ignoring the constitution, and if you have I’d love to see where you got that from. At most you’d see leftist arguing that the militias of 2A should be well regulated like the constitution literally says.

      Also, people on the left complain about stuff Democrat presidents do all the time. It’s how Democrats keep losing elections. What kind of constitutional overreach are you referring to which didn’t get complaints from the left? I’d genuinely love to know, because I clearly missed it.
