OBAMA’S REICHSTAG FIRE MOMENT TAKES THE STAGE

Sen. Ted Cruz dropped a bombshell, as you will see in this video, where he emphatically states that the United States Senate this year will vote on a Constitutional amendment to effectively repeal the First Amendment. This is Senate Joint Resolution 19 that Se. Cruz is referring to. It proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to contributions and expenditures intended to affect elections.

This vote will give the Congress the plenary power and unlimited authority to regulate political speech. The door that they plan on using revolves around campaign finance reform, but will extend to all areas of political speech across the board.

“When you think it can’t get any worse, it does,” Cruz said. “This year, I’m sorry to tell you, the United States Senate is going to be voting on a constitutional amendment to repeal the First Amendment.”

“I am telling you — I am not making this up. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has announced the Senate Democrats are scheduling a vote on a constitutional amendment to give Congress the authority to regulate political speech because elected officials have decided they don’t like it when the citizenry has the temerity to criticize what they’ve done,” he added.

It’s a long shot but it is dangerous because it seems to focus on campaign funds.

That's because it needs to appeal to the low-information pukes who somehow, despite not managing to become high-information, manage to show up to vote.

I said a long time ago, the man does not intend to ever leave the white house.

Full text at the link(s) House of Reps # is “H.J. Res. 20”...they aren’t too long. Referred back to committee a year ago. I think they are going nowhere fast.

Transforming America at all costs. Maybe Obama wants to be remembered as a tyrant, it’s easier than being good.

[Wiser now]

It has to be ratified by the states and pass the House before even that.
It wouldn’t surprise me to find out some Senators think they have the power to repeal the amendment though.

Excuse me, but McCain was a citizen born to a career military officer while on active duty. That automatically makes him a citizen regardless of the location of his birth.
Every child born to citizens on military deployment are natural born citizens.

Yeah lets all be scared of proposed constitutional amendments! /sarc There is nothing here.

Except this is exactly how the progressives have taken over. It's just a proposal now. Then the propaganda starts. People now will not let it stand but after a decade of indoctrination and "reasoned" argument by the Schumers of the left and soon it will make "sense" to curb those nasty thoughts of freedom.

Yes, stealth is what they use to change policy. Stealth and patience.

We need to deal with each one of them like the patriots delt with thier governors and shop keepers who were for the king

[D Rider]

I know this is a stupid question, but don't Constitutional Amendments have to be ratified by two-thirds majority of the states?

Well...legally, yes. But that does not seem to be much of an obstacle to this bunch.

[trebb]

I know this is a stupid question, but don't Constitutional Amendments have to be ratified by two-thirds majority of the states? Or has Ubama removed that requirement?

What does you gut tell you about what is right and legal vs. what is being done in DC these days?

[DaveA37]

Even if they do pass it, they will have a difficult time enforcing it.

[Freeping Since 2001]

So I’m more dissapointed with Cruz then I already was.

The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States).

Stop being delusional, the rule of law is dead!
