Stevenash and Smitty Have Flip Flopped To The SOCIALIST Party


Recommended Posts

Imagine if they didnt have to be built to code. That would be a disaster, builders would cut cost to make more money.


The problem then is that we must be protected from ourselves. We are not as smart as the government and must be protected buying a bad product. Imagine this, a company builds a house and it falls down because the government didn't tell them how to build it. No one else buys a house from that company. That company goes out of business and quits building houses. The companies whose houses don't fall down sells a bunch of houses and makes a profit. Would you call that micro or macro economics?

Cutting cost so they end up building a terrible home. I know a guy whoes foundation starting cracking 2 yrs after it was built, another lady had an electrical fire (same builder). Another lady had problems with her roof. This should not happen in only 2 yrs. The builder apparently did not build up to standard. They are now being sued..

And the courts will settle the matter.  If the builder you are referring to, did this in error, he will pay for his error in the court case.  If it is a regular way of conducting business, he wont be in business much longer.  The markets are better equipped to punish/reward than the government is.

Why should you be surprised?  Have I ever said anything that was critical of our judicial system?  I must admit I have concerns about frivolity within the system but, then again, no system is perfect. I have another question for you that I once asked before but either missed your response or perhaps you didnt answer.  You appear to have a problem with Smitty on this forum.  The great bulk of what Smitty complains about is our failure to adhere to the constitution.  Wouldn't you agree that following the constitution is the right way to go?

Rivers should not catch on fire. I dont care what you guys say


Big Girl, we all agree with you that when a body of water catches on fire it is not normal and most likely bad. What we dont agree with is the far overreach of the Epa and the burden they put on economic growth. Common sense and moderation is the main problem with the EPA and most other government agencies because they dont use them. The government was not set up by our fore fathers to be the solution to our problems but rather a tool to use. I think the EPA can be a very useful agency if they would stick to what they were initially conceived for.

In principle, yes. Smitty's "grasp" of the constitution is a different conversation altogether.

I didn't mean my surprise to mean I had read anything on this board to suggest you felt otherwise about the legal system. I was pleasantly surprised by your attitude on the subject. See what happens when I ASSuME? Broke my own darn rule!!

Ok- I guess you are saying that Smitty doesn't understand the constitution and/or its intent very well?  The only time I get troubled by the legal system is when it gets abused to extort money from individuals which is what I believe is happening with the guy who is suing the Yankees and ESPN because he was shown sleeping at the game.

Completely agree with your frustration and the example given. Cases like that one gives the system a bad name.

If the constitution was easily understandable, we wouldn't need a supreme court.


Excellent point.

I had the great fortune (although I thought I was most unfortunate at the time) to take con law from the late, great Charles Alan Wright. He was/is considered one of the preeminent constitutional scholars in our history. Amazing man.
