Reaffirming the Almighty United States Constitution

[$ecular#eckler]

We need a revolution here in the US. One to overthrow the Socialists and reaffirm the Constitution.

There are plenty of people who are inclined to agree with Flash - probably in the tens of millions of American citizens.

. . . And nobody has plan as to how to do it. Nobody has the gumption to sit down and contemplate how to do it, and then write it out into its steps so the rest of the millions of Americans can help in the endeavor.

How are you going to do it?

You are dependent on someone else figuring out how to do it.

Repeal every Amendment after the 13th, for starters.

Reaffirming the Constitution would mean to roll back the power of the Federal government and return power to the States. Not sure if that would be possible given that the electorate has become enamored with beautiful promises and that our education system has left us with millions of young people who are largely unprepared to assume responsibility or engage in working towards a better future.

If you had anything, then you would not be dissing me every chance you get - you would be doing everything you can to enlist my help, much less, claiming that you know how to do it without providing what should be the best answer to the topic - how do you do it?

What are you going to call it - United States Fourth Continental Congress???
I hate to break it to you, but I started twenty years ago. I deliberated a scientific theory for separating government powers, and I established a website.

Some of us complain about violations of the Constitutional protections by those representing the government and are told to just suck it up and accept it and hope maybe at some point the courts will straighten it out.

Nobody who actually supports the Constitution would support this. If you actually support the Constitution you would demand that representatives of the government had the Constitution drilled into their heads daily and were told in no uncertain terms they are not to violate them.

Thank you for providing a description of a possible difficulty. I can assure you that there are a lot more problems. The purpose of this discussion is to help people understand how flippant people are with their ideas about "fixing" society.

"How are you going to do it?" is the pertinent question.

The checks and balances are supposed to provide for the inadequacy that you are alluding to.

No, the Constitution was not written so that some can violate it and make the taxpayers pick up the pieces.

When you look at what conservatives bitch about the most it's the ideal that we are all equal under the law. Any conservative effort to change the constitution would gut that first and then go after voting rights and free speech as it pertains to protest. The very idea that we would end up with more freedoms is laughable.

No actually those are the only two problems that limit what can be done in a "democracy": 1. people that are unable. 2. people that are unwilling.

Now if this were a dictatorship a few other possibilities exist.

Repeal every Amendment after the 13th, for starters.

No, let's not do that.

For starters, the amendments 14 thru 27 were passed legally and according to the US Constitution.

For another reason, it would remove good and valid amendments.

Such as:
14th - Prohibits the denial of the right to vote based on race, color or previous condition of servitude
19th - Prohibits the denial of the right to vote based on sex
22nd - Limits the number of times a person can be elected President
24th - Prohibits the revocation of voting rights due to the non-payment of a poll tax or any other tax
26th - Prohibits the denial of the right of US citizens eighteen years of age or older to vote on account of age

Unless you want to go through the proper steps for each amendment, namely to create another amendment to remove it. Like we did for the 18th amendment (Prohibition).

That is not the purpose of this discussion.
The purpose of this discussion is how do we get to reaffirming the Constitution?

I replied to a single post. It is a valid answer to the wish to repeal every amendment after the 13th.

Only in right-wing fantasy. Our Founding Fathers did an most excellent job at the convention with our federal Constitution and supreme law of the land. We could not do a better job today.

We can start by quit making excuses for those who violate it.
