There are two issues where, though it might not be broken, it needs amendment:

Good points! But what kind of a time frame do you project for such divisive amendments to be ratified, especially since the states are divided on the issues anyway? (You do know that only the states have the constitutional authority to ratify a proposed amendment to the Constitution, rgiht?)

In fact, since amending the Constitution is arguably not an option in the near (foreseeable?) future, that's why I've been encouraging patriots to try to elect 2/3 conservative majorities in both Houses of Congress in this year's elections. This is because a Congress controlled by conservative supermajority will be positioned as follows.

Conservative supermajority control of Congress will have the power, under Constitution's Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I, to overide presidential vetoes. This means that Congress will be able to repeal Obamacare Democratcare without Obama's signature.

And even if patriots miss the mark for conservative Congress this year, they can still start building for 2016.

Why use the pejorative language of the left and the so-called moderates in the GOP?
