You know, I'm not arrogant to believe everyone will read my posts, or that anyone at all will for that matter. But I do expect it as a common courtesy of people commenting on it. Being upfront that you didn't read it and here come all your inferences based on your skimming gives you credit for honesty if nothing else.
So here are just two things that you didn't understand, perhaps because I was unclear, although perhaps not:

OK so you also affirm that we should repeal all amendments besides the first 10? Or are you against the bill of rights too? That was before the ratification, so I think that one is allowed to stay if you are a federalist.

I never said that and there's no way you could you possibly infer that. The Founders intended for the Constitution to be amended. They very specifically wanted it changed to account for the future unknown and they described a specific process for doing so which has produced a great many amendments, legally and constitutionally just like it was indented. They changed it as soon as they wrote it with the additional Bill of Rights, and they kept adding and changing stuff since. That's all proper and fine because that's the originalist view; that the Founders intended all that.

Although I find any of these arguments to be dubious because just a few pages ago you said the opposite of ALL of this, and said that you wanted the republicans to appoint judges because they are the ones that protect the sanctity of life.
This stands in stark contrast to everything you wrote in your recent post :

BlackBellamy wisely wrote: This is why I and other Republicans object to Roe v. Wade. Not because it legalized abortion. No one in their right mind understands abortion can be completely banned. It's because it legalized abortion for convenience as a matter of privacy and said yes this is Constitutional and proper. We disagree. If you want to have your abortions you need to come up with a better reason than it's my business. .

I don't even know what to do about this^^^
You write:

and then you quote me going:

Not because it legalized abortion.

So you refute your own argument with my quote and so save me the trouble?
I'm not against Roe v. Wade BECAUSE it legalized abortion. I'm against Roe v. Wade because it was decided unconstitutionally, with the courts usurping power reserved for Congress.
The fact that repealing Roe v. Wade would make abortion more difficult is a desirable outcome but not the reason I oppose it.
