Liberal/Dems don't want to be "American" they want to redefine "America". Their interpretation of the Constitution bears no resemblance to the original intent of the authors. For example, the 1st amendment has been reinterpreted to include pornography (porneia) and to umbrella religion, under which is the right to practice witchcraft, sorcery, satanism, etc., the way I see it if they had no constitutional rights to abuse, they'd be less likely to deceive themselves and others in the crimes committed or infringe upon the actual rights conveyed by our forefathers. In a way I'm grateful our system has checks and balances, while not infallible the system does "slow" the process of depravity. Our forefathers knew well that man is depraved (2/3rds of the soldiers that died on the battlefield of the Revolutionary War were Calvinist in theology) and implemented checks and balances under the conviction that man himself and anything he touches becomes corruptible.
While this is my conviction, I understand G-d raises up wicked leaders so the wicked will be damned in their unrighteousness. Saw a Somali sentenced today on X and he asked to be deported rather than sentenced to prison, his request was denied and he was sentenced to 30yrs in state prison and then to be deported after time served. Who were they following in the crimes committed? Of course, they haven't yet faced any accountability or responsibility except potential votes in the next election.
To the Liberal the 1st Amendment includes the right to blaspheme, bear false witness, to lie, to gossip, etc., and that's because they "interpret" the 1st amendment as "Freedom" of the depraved nature of man to express himself. I'll stop my rant here because this leads me to why I don't believe in the "10 commandments" in the secular court system. The notion that capital punishment could occur w/out the same consequence for anyone that bears false witness for capital crimes is too risky. In other words, somebody makes the allegation that person A committed treason and lied. If found innocent than that person that lied should face the death penalty.
