Comments by "Andrew Wilson" (@andrewwilson9183) on "Supreme Court Legitimacy Goes Up In Smoke | The Kyle Kulinski Show" video.
Yeah because your politics is driven by establishment party bosses who don't like change Here are some problems with your politics The Prime Minister has full authority to appoint a lot of people without a check on his power to do. your senate is an unelected rubber stamp party members have to pay for membership and do what the party boss want MPs in the ruling party always vote for what the prime minister wants to do Your prime minister said that no one needs fire arms for any reason. There are, two things. Self defense, in the absence of police. Two, incase the government becomes authoritarian the people can challenge state power. That is the purpose of the american second amendment after all. The prairie provinces often feel neglected by the more left wing federal government. You say more progressive, so then why is Quebec passing laws antagonizing muslims and immigrants. A lot of people in Quebec still want to succeed. Your country is going to see anti immigrant backlash before long, due to the economic problems facing the U.S. and Europe will hit Canada. Many people don't like the fact that Trudeau believes that canada has no national identity. You still have problems with the indigenous population. Etc

@BobPantsSpongeSquare97 I like the way the court is set up Authoritarianism? How is returning an issue to the states and democratic vote authoritarian. Because the people of Texas might want something you don't?

@MsScarletwings Right to abortion is not an enlightenment principle

@Beelzeboogie First. While the Taliban isn't the best applicable example, the point is that it is possible for less equipped people to launch a gorilla campaign against the government. And it doesn't have to be open war. The resistance could be as simple as not allowing government mandated quarantines for example. An armed militia of the people could easily take on the police. At that point the Federal Government might want to use the military, which has a higher chance winning. But then would the high ranking officers and other personnel in the military go along with it. Even if the Fed Gov wins, they would have had to work really hard to do so. At the very least gun rights make life more difficult for authoritarian regimes. There is also the possibility that the rebels get half the military, but the armed pop give them an added advantage. Second. How do you know that? and where did the guy get the bomb. Third. Okay fine, a better example would be Continental Army during the American Revolution. In that case there was an army of lowly recruits, former British officers who fought in the 7 years war, and stolen cannon.

On the roe case, it wasn't acting as a legislature. They were getting themselves out of the issue of abortion. Besides, when the court has made left wing decisions, it has been a legislature

@LEP021085 I have a lot of points. What do you mean he believes differently The decision got the supreme court out of defining abortion law, which had the effect of returning the issue to the states. I take back what I said about the court as a left wing legislature. Only many times/

Good, I like the way things are

@BobPantsSpongeSquare97 The Dobbs decision has a logic to it. The court isn't pushing a federal ban so thats irrelevant furthermore, while you are right about percentages in the country as a whole. Your wrong about percentages in the states. 58% of adults in alabama believe that abortion should be illegal in most or all cases. Letting them vote as they see fit is not authoritarian.

@morenitomoreno1282 Aside from Universal Healthcare what are you referring to?

@Beelzeboogie Why is that? If the answer is because the British military has better weaponry than the people would have then take this recent example The Taliban has more primitive weaponry than the U.S. fucking military and they were still a headache for us, that now many of our politicians no longer wanted to be there, and we "Biden' handed the country to them. Unarmed populations are easy to oppress. I understand that the British Government is quite benevolent, and has been since the Glorious Revolution. But Our experiences in the Anglo-sphere are not the norm though out history. Most govs have been despotic and corrupt. most of them still are. I know this happened nearly 400 years ago but. Should the parliamentarians not raised arms against King Charles the 1st? They set the example to the Whigs in the Glorious Rev

@imnotmike First. The party bosses giving the canadians what they want is not a given. Second. If the American dream has moved to canada then why does the U.S. take in a higher quantity of immigrants than other countries, and why does canada have a brain drain to the us? Third. What happens when the government dissolves the democratic process. How will it be restored? Guns don't make sense anymore really, China would be better off if their people owned guns. the gov would be less oppressive people defend themselves by killing other people, or the threat of it. Much like a defensive war.

@spankythedog56 The American Left, culturally has immense power. Second, how is the right fascist. Because they want the people of their states to decide their policy on abortion.

@dott8045 Wonderful scientific explanations but what does that have to do with politics?
1
@morenitomoreno1282 Fair enough Yes however, Europe's abortion laws are still more strict than what most blue states are about to be. Second, I still like gun right for reasons above Which model of universal healthcare do you want the United States to have? I understand that progressives want the Canadian model in Medicare for all. However I prefer the Swiss model with Private health insurance. Plus a single payer like system for treating people who can't buy health insurance because they have pre existing conditions. Granted my preference is more right leaning than most progressives.
