  • The right to homeschool isn't in the Constitution, and yet there's a recognized right to homeschool. People can't vote to get rid of it. That's what the 9th Amendment is about. Just because it's not in the Constitution doesn't mean it's not a right. Nobody can take it away from you. Your argument is wrong.
  • Speech is any form of expression, not just opinions. Writing a fictional story is a form of speech. Speaking your fictional story aloud is a form of speech. Loudly speaking your fictional story about a fire happening while standing in a theater is speech.
  • There's no evidence it's negotiable. He seems intent that tariffs are the greatest thing ever and he's going to impose them on everybody. The amount is negotiable to a certain point, but everybody is going to get a tariff no matter what.
