I think the “let’s amend the constitution” movement is wrong on several counts.

We cannot assume Constitutional changes mean a damn thing when Democrat administrators and judges all say the heck with the law as written, our political dogma and definition of love, kind and moral says we’ll ignore the law and rule this other way instead. The Obamacare tax is a tax and isn’t a tax is a classic example of this.

Don’t waste time and effort amending the document when Democrats will ignore it or undermine it. Focus time and effort where it matters - electing people and appointing people who respect the law as written.

We need to fix things now through legislation, enforcement of the law and court rulings to reaffirm them, not spend 20 years trying to change the Constitution.

See post #45.

If elections alone secured liberty we wouldn’t have been on the cusp of tyranny in 2016. The Left has had 106 years amending the Constitution. It is time to go beyond popular elections and express popular sovereignty.
