Navigating The Argument Room this morning, a simple question arose: whose opinion on the Constitution has more weight, the guy who went to law school or the guy who went to cement school? (it would be a logic fallacy to say either is sure to be right, but professional training does matter, which is why we don't call cement makers when we're in legal trouble)(unless we're Tony Soprano maybe)
The key is to remember that what is unconstitutional or not is subject to the whims of the appointed justices, which is why we get some major reversals along the way.
SCOTUS is not infallible.
Neither were the Founding Fathers.
So, what's constitutional today may be unconstitutional tomorrow, according to the primary body that gets a vote.
Is imposing a national voter ID unconstitutional?
Is imposing a ban on voter ID nationally unconstitutional?
