Get past the bashing of Democrats for the election thing.
Then I found out that all Democrats on the senate at the time during 2014.
They all voted to repeal the free speech prevision of the 1st amendment.
Why didn't I know about this!?
France would've lost some colonies in the peace treaty, the Austro-Hungarians would've taken land in the Balkans, and the Turks would've taken the North Caucasus (and quickly lost it thereafter as their empire was falling to bits already).
It's quite possible though that the Germans would've made the same mistake as the Entente and imposed crushing war reparations, thus fostering authoritarianism in western Europe. The US would be laughing though.
Did anyone know that?
That the Democrats during 2014 voted to rewrite the first amendment by repealing it?
I sure as hell didn't know.
It was referenced in one of the hearings this week, but it's otherwise such a laughable attempt that it doesn't merit notice.
That article is hyperbolic.
They wanted to repeal the campaign finance reform laws.
Democrats are minorities in both houses and don't hold the executive. They can't pass anything, let alone a constitutional amendment.
Even if they get their blue wave they can't do jack shit.
It is still chilling that they are willing to go that far...
Willing to attack the first amendment.
You think they have scruples?
No... the constitution hasn't been amendment in 200 years, why start now because something didn't go their way.
It is the attempt that scares me.
What else would they amend if it doesn't suit their narrative?
To me that is a selfish party that only thought about themselves, not what the American people want.
Only the American people should have the right to amend any amendment.
That is what I think.
I think some things should not be amendable whatsoever
Depending on what standard you want to take, the last amendment was in 1992.
Some people don't really count that though, and go with 1971.
Added... not amended.
We can add amendments, but rewriting is dangerous.
Tbh the bigger issue isn't necessarily openly changing the constitution itself, it's the constant undermining
I don't think it'll ever be amended ever again. The next change to the constitution will be it being abolished outright.
I surely don't trust a party that only thinks about themselves, censor those who are not parroting their narrative, and constantly label people without proof.
The political system is too diseased to gather the unity necessary to amend it.
At least legitimately. A coup or engineered constitutional crisis is possible.
Sure as hell feel like what the Democrats are trying now Atkins.
The resistance in the "White House..."
The Resistance existance.
For that matter.
A coup.
Engineered Constitutional Crisis, they keep talking about constitutional crisis over and over.
