The Shift Back To Originalism #shorts

Welcome back to iron Sights After Dark! This is the first of 7 episodes we're dropping from a Vegas suite at SHOT SHOW 2023. I had the honor to sit down with Senior Litegator Cody Wisniewski from The Firearms Policy Coalition. Cody dives deep into his background in this episode. Wisniewski earned his B.A. in Joint Honours Classics and Philosophy from the University of Ottawa and discussed briefly living in Canada during this episode. He then graduated from the University of San Diego School of Law. While at the University of San Diego, Cody served as Federalist Society President, Vice-Chair of National Teams for the Appellate Moot Court Board, and an Executive Board member for the San Diego International Law Journal. He regularly speaks to industry groups, law students, and everyday Americans about the Constitution and his work and it was a first on the show to actually sit down with an attorney.

When it comes to working with the FPC, Wisniewski has already worked on a number of cases, including Sullivan vs. Ferguson, California vs. ATF, Syracuse vs. ATF, and led the FPC's victory against New Mexico’s Aragon v. Grisham.

Greatest document written, not to give laws but to confirm God given laws.

The reason is because amendments are supposed to change over time and fit how society changes and the founding fathers understood that.

The constitution doesn't mention the airforce. Should we abolish the airforce?

[cakincaid]

The Founders set aside the First Ten amendments and called them "The Bill of Inalienable Rights."
Those ten were not granting Rights to anyone; they were instructing the government what are the Natural Rights of all Americans which cannot be altered or eliminated.

When the Declaration of Independence states, "...they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain inalienable rights and that among these Rights are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Please take note of the phrase "among these" that, clearly, means that there are more than the three cited in the Declaration.

The fact that people with an agenda omitted Inalienable from the title doesn't change the fact that the first ten are absolute, any more than calling our government a democracy changes the fact that it is a Constitutional Republic with an emphasis on Individual Liberty.

the original constitution stated a black person was 3/5 of a person. Whatever. this is a qanon answer this guy is giving.

[erichenningfeld]

But it fails an interpretive method to produce answers and factor in the fact that things change over time. lol

Alright, US History Lesson, if you live in the Louisiana Purchase then you believe in an elastic interpretation of the Constitution. The crazy concept was by some guy named President Thomas Jefferson...
