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 go their way?
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.
When it was fine what is happening 20 years ago.
It is all about keeping their power which they lost last election.
They are fighting to get it back.
It's almost as though political parties are egocentric
And exist for the sole purpose of self perpetuation
I just can't trust a Democrat right now...
Other than some sane members, they are few and inbetween.
If only a prominent American historical figure had advocated against political parties
Oh a socialist tried to kill a Brazil politican!
O.O
