How do we reconcile the Ideals of the Declaration of Independence with its notions of equality for everyone when we see plainly that it's not equal?
@Museek I think Gorman has a good framing:
"And yes, we are far from polished,
far from pristine,
but that doesn’t mean we are
striving to form a union that is perfect.
We are striving to forge a union with purpose,
to compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters, and
conditions of man.
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us
but what stands before us.
We close the divide because we know, to put our future first,
we must first put our differences aside."
@b4cks4w @Museek A major challenge is getting SCOTUS to agree on how to think about the problem. They invent different ways of thinking that prevent forward progress -- originalism, textualism, strict constructionism, purposivism, and variants of all of them. Some justices use one approach of another, depending on the result they want. I wish there were a way to sue to them to adopt a uniform legal logic.
