“Justice Holmes”
…is the lowlife scumbag who came up with that “clear and present danger” crap, which allowed the loathsome liberals of the Wilson administration to ignore the 1st amendment and throw anti-war people in prison simply for expressing their political viewpoints.
All the more disgusting, the people who were jailed, thanks to Holmes, were correct in what they said: military conscription is involuntary servitude, and involuntary servitude (except as punishment for a crime) is a violation of the 13th Amendment. For daring to tell the truth, anti-war loons (wrong about everything else, right about the draft) were thrown into prison, while the “liberal” government enslaved hundreds of thousands of young men and sent them to fight in Europe.
That’s what you get with a “living constitution”: two amendments to the Constitution ignored, tyranny, slavery, and 100,000 Americans killed in a senseless war in Europe as a little side benefit.
Thanks, but you can keep your “living constitution”, I prefer the written one (despite its many flaws)…and if ever I pass Holmes’ grave I intend to spit on it.
