Suppose everything goes perfectly. At best we have a new constitution that the government will ignore, just as they ignore the one now. At worst, the people involved are compromised by the statists, and we end up with the Statist wet-dream codified into the very fabric of our Constitution.
Anybody who has not extensively examined the history behind LE Intelligence and political activism shouldn’t be near these decisions.
New York had a sitting Governor (Patterson) who held a press conference in which he announced that the heads of his state PD surveillance division walked into his office, revealed they had bugged and wiretapped him throughout his tenure as a state legislator, and unless he became a puppet governor, with someone else wielding power from behind the scenes they would ruin him, using affairs he and his wife had that they had documented. He later said he had ten other legislators tell him they were blanketed under coverage too, and it was a huge problem for any legislator that needed to be dealt with.
The media gave it a few paragraphs of coverage, before announcing other officials in the State PD said it was probably just a few rogue individuals running an off the books surveillance op, and not interesting at all. The media never mentioned it again. The Attorney General who was assigned to investigate it ignored it, and when the next election came around the Attorney general walked into the Governor’s office, and his predecessor quietly disappeared.
We’ve seen federal surveillance actually plant classified documents on Sharyl Atkisson’s computer, using an illegally installed, extra Fios line at her house. If things are that far gone, and you think a small change to the Constitution will remedy it, you’re smoking crack, and taking a hell of a risk with the only thing we have left to support our argument for freedom.
And your solution is? IMO The Constitution is the only answer.
