Election year politics. The water is hot. The script is being changed in hopes they can come back and revisit all this largesse later. Anything they can give they can take away.

They must be expelled for any hope of safety and the law changed so that they can never do this to us again.

If we need to make any changes to the Constitution we need to make the restriction of powers to the federal government even more explicit and restrictive. I don’t know how much more it can be than to have said what the powers are and that all other powers are for the states but it has to be tightened. The commerce clause needs to be made much more explicit and restrictive. The powers of the president need to be restricted and the executive order needs to be tightened almost to the point of non-existence. On and on.

Agree with everything you said. Even when we get a good outcome like this we still have to wait around like medieval peasants gathering around the town crier to hear the king’s latest royal decree. Not how things are supposed to work.

In my not so humble opinion it would be utter foolishness at this time to change one word of the constitution. Of what use is it to change what would not need to be changed if we were following it now and why would anyone think that those who spit on the constitution now would suddenly honor it if we change it?

Most of the ills that this country suffers now can be traced to a failure to honor the constitution. Our elections have become spectacles equivalent to gladiatorial contests in the Roman coliseum but instead of sword or trident the contestants use campaign promises to violate the constitution. Listen closely and that is what it amounts to, promises of new legislation which will violate the clear meaning of the constitution and what happens when one wins? He is sworn into office with an oath to support and defend the very document which he promised to rip to shreds in the process of winning the office. It is all a farce.
