Those who claim the Constitution only protects a narrow slice of Americans are often trying to freeze it in its most exclusionary form, ignoring centuries of progress made in its name. The irony? 🧵

I don’t understand, unless I’ve only looked at AI first amendment, seems pretty inclusive and straightforward
Those people are racists and sexist and only want protections for palemales

Except they didn’t consider their slaves men.
Yep

The "Originalists" are just that because of the horrific was "all men are created equal" was interpreted at the time. They want to go back to women barefoot, naked & pregnant, along with AA and other minorities working strictly as indentured servants, aka slaves.
Weird because the only part of the Constitution they claim they’ll die for is a goddam AMENDMENT.
The first ten, to be precise. It gets harder to tell when you reach the Eleventh Amendment.
Wait, are we still talking about the guys who don't care about the first ten amendments if you're neither white nor male?

I mean yeah - they ignore the letters that Thomas Jefferson wrote to Danbury Baptist clarifying the freedom of religion.
Every. Single. Syllable. Of. This.
And they are actively trying to cull the Herd. Let’s do it for them.
It's always "that only applies to citizens" even when that isn't true. Then constantly attacking constitutional rights and hyping up a police state. It's difficult to have a civil conversation whose political stances are a roulette wheel.
