Upholding the Constitution and Laws of the State of WA

On Behalf of WEA’s More Conservative Members #4 Why I’ve Decided to Support Kim Wyman, Despite WEA’s Failure to Endorse Her for a Third Time. 4.13.20 “The Secretary of State takes an oath of office to uphold the (US) Constitution and the Constitution and Laws of the State of Washington to the best of her ability. It is imperative that the Secretary follow those laws without regard to personal preference or party affiliation, as adherence to the law is not optional.” Kim Wyman Kim Wyman has 26 years of experience as an election administrator and has overseen well over 100 elections.

Schools of Constitutional Interpretation/ Justice Barrett Pt. 2

Is Justice Barrett the Latest Shot in the “Deconstruction of Government” Pt. 2 / Schools of Constitutional Interpretation : Living Constitution; Originalism, Political Process theory; Purposivism; Textualism; & Strict Constructions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strict_constructionism / From the perspective of an observer, these six schools seem to be two groupings of three. Living Constitution, Political Process theory, & Purposivism in one group and Originalism, Textualism, & Strict Construction in the other. / The former seems to me to exist to make deciding the Constitutionality of a law easier and avoiding the lengthy task of pursuing a Constitutional Amendment. This makes change easier, which appeals to liberals. It also helps establish a body of precedent that can make future changes easier. / The latter seems to me to exist to make deciding the Constitutionality of a law more difficult and force the proponents of change into the lengthy tas...
