US Constitutional Conservatives

There are dozens of varieties of voters who identify themselves as Conservatives.

Constitutional Originalists believe that we are required to follow the US Constitution as originally written and follow it to the letter. We expect the Courts to interpret the US Constitution based on the Founders’ original intent. We require the use of Amendments ratified by 66% of the States to establish new law.

We believe that the 14^th Amendment passed in 1857 was intended to confer US citizenship to former Slaves and the Court erred by interpreting it to also allow birthright citizenship of children born in the US to non-citizen illegal and illegal migrants. This should be a Supreme Court case in 2020.

We regard the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in 1872 as a violation of the Law that could only be corrected by presenting an Amendment to expand “enumerated powers” for ratification.

We believe that the Church & State 1947 Supreme Court opinion would not hold up if it was subject to the scrutiny of a 66% vote of the States.

We believe that the Roe v Wade Supreme Court opinion would not hold up if it was subjected to the scrutiny of a 66% vote of the States.

The Congress could fix these if it passed a law defining “Life” to include the life of the fetus   It could also define “Born” and amend the 14^th Amendment. Congress could also clarify the “separation of church and state” problem and define how “religious liberty” should work.
