What’s always intrigued me is that, in an argument (or a heated disagreement), both sides will assume that righteousness resides with them. Both sides will employ mantras or sayings, e.g. “the right side of history”, “doing the Lord’s (or the “people’s) work”, “striving for a better America”…etc.
But only 1 side is truly right. Thus, smuggling in one’s own interpretation of what the Constitution “really” says becomes a labor of postmodern redefinition. According to the Law of Non-Contradiction, one side must be false…yet both sides lay claim to “the truth”, AND march on basking in their own self-righteousness.
