I can't speak for gwb, but I certainly am a lot more skeptical of stuff coming from infowars. And I don't go to that website unless someone else is linking to it.
I know, you've said that before. I've thought you might be "shooting the messenger".
I find Alex to be a bit annoying and histrionic myself, but I don't have any suspicions of "fake news" on that site. (BTW... I searched this story on the net and after seeing it on at least a dozen other sites, I stopped looking.)
Just as the Founders intended!
GWB's disdain for the Constitution is a major reason why he makes my "Worst US Presidents" list.
I think what you are saying is that when there is not sufficient will among the people to amend the constitution, liberal courts will usurp that power.
Liberal presidents too.
Yeah well, that's another issue entirely. Hopefully the SCOTUS will never go "Full Commie" on us.
GWB anecdote... Some years back he entered a tennis tournament in the 4.5 division of the Clyde Rogers at Denver's Washington Park tennis club. Bush was breezing through all of his matches and ended up being subjectively disqualified for playing "below this level". For those who don't know, a USTA rating of 4.5 makes you a pretty good player... but Bush, an excellent tennis player, is well above that in skill level. I know of this personally, having been a 5.0 level player myself even into my 50's.
(Bush's effort to cheaply "cop a tennis trophy" is not what puts him on my "worst" list.)

I'm not saying infowars doesn't have accurate news stories. I'm just saying that I've seen stories on there - more than other conservative sites - where the stories seem to be more based on conjecture than actual reporting.
Ditto that, occasionally,.... on what we might call "POV" pieces?
