[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3098386, member: 13624"] Oh, don't misunderstand me--I think his mind is shot. In fact, from Wikipedia: [INDENT]On April 9, 2010, Stevens announced his intention to retire from the Court; he subsequently retired on June 29 of that year. Stevens has said that his decision to retire from the Supreme Court was initially triggered when he stumbled on several sentences when delivering his oral dissent in the 2010 landmark case [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC']Citizens United v. FEC[/URL]. Stevens said "I took that as a warning sign that maybe I've been around longer than I should."[/INDENT] I definitely think he was right on that point, and that his mind has not gotten any better in the intervening eight years. I'd fight tooth-and-nail against actually repealing any of those amendments as unwise...in the sense of "would probably trigger a civil war." But I at least respect that doing so would be the constitutionally-proper way to make certain changes (which changes I [I]also[/I] regard as a Bad Idea). [/QUOTE]
