And OBTW, since the Constitution CREATED the U.S. Federal Government and the United States of America, ditching it would immediately render the feds an unauthorized entity and we’d be back to individual states with no legitimate government uniting or protecting them -
- no valid federal government and no United States of America.
Other than that, it’s a great idea.
And socialist-leaning judges who have allowed the federal government to grow to huge, unchecked proportions while whittling away at our rights.
Examples:
The general welfare clause has been used to seize money from some people and give it to others.
The interstate commerce clause has been used to give the federal government practically unlimited power to regulate any item that might tangentially affect commerce between the states.
The Constitution gives Congress specific items on which the treasury may spend. Now, there are trillions of dollars spent on practically anything that Congress and the president desire.
When the Constitution was ratified, it was understood that any action not specifically allowed was prohibited. That has been completely reversed and now anything not specifically prohibited is allowed. And even that has as many exceptions as legislators and liberal judges can get away with. e.g Shall not be infringed.
Did not a lot of these people take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution? For those who did, are they not guilty of perjury?
My memory may be faulty, but if I remember correctly, when Kagan was Dean of Harvard Law School, she headed up a periodic review panel examining the required curriculum to graduate from that institution.
A mandated course on the US Constitution was under consideration but she advocated that it still be offered but not made a requirement for a degree. She preferred a mandated course on international law instead.
Commies gonna commie. From the beginning we were told “A Republic, if we can keep it” and that it was written for a moral people.
Looking more and more like the tree of Liberty is going to have to be watered.
These are the fuure lawyers and judges. If Democrats “win” the next two presidential elections, that will probably be enough to finish America for good. Finished, as Reagan (and Franklin) warned us.
We need an American Pinochet.

Yes. The Constitution puts the brakes on radical change that can destroy our nation. That's why change takes many, many years to take place. Do away with the Constitution and we will have anarchy over a short period of time. Slow changes are beneficial; that is why we can survive the 4 (or 8) years of a bad presidential regime such as Obama or Biden. Calls for radical change are blocked in the courts due to the Constitution, and that is a good thing.
This is the official announcement for something that happened a long time ago.
Anyone who wants Marxism can move to China or North Korea!
My thoughts exactly. Every single citizen of this country who advocates for, supports or promotes Marxism and its variants should be given a free helicopter ride!

It’s funny, this they don’t call subversion or trying to overthrow the government.
They want the Bill of Rights gone so they can disarm us and shut us up. Without the BOR, they will run roughshod over us. Of this there is zero doubt. I will not comply.
When I was in graduate school at Harvard (in science), I audited a course in Constitutional Law.
It was given by one of Harvard Law School’s great Constitutional Law scholars, who had been a candidate for the Supreme Court.
The course mainly covered the great Constitutional Law cases, which had been decided by the Supreme Court, from Marbury vs. Madison to the 20th century.
Harvard Law School has a great tradition of teaching and research on Constitutional Law, and of producing constitutional lawyers and judges.
It is a great shame to ruin that tradition!!!!
Understand completely. I went to Stanford.

And to that point, if any law student actually adopts or integrates (lol) any of that CRT nonsense, they will either have to be one of a very select minority (lol) that finds a judgeship or a prosecutorial role, OR be condemned to legal aid work while paying enormous student loans.
Because those types of 'lawyers' come with a checkbox on their foreheads: do. not. hire.
With all due respect to freeper parents, please consider the following.
The main problem with the Constitution (imo) is that parents have evidently not been making sure that their children are being taught about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the drafters of the Constitution had intended for those powers to be understood.
Otherwise, children would explain to parents that the thing to do with the "broken" Constitution in the context of unconstitutionally federal federal government is to appropriately amend it.
Instead, when children become voters they abuse their voting power by reelecting career federal senators who exploit constitutionally low-information voters by promising voters unconstitutional federal spending programs, programs based on stolen state powers and likewise stolen state revenues, in order to stay in power .
In fact, an excellent new amendment would be to repeal ASAP the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments, such an amendment a peaceful way to put corrupt Congress back into its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited power cage.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
That being said about fixing the broken Constitution, Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots need to get ready ASAP to support hopeful Trump 47 by primarying ALL state and federal, lawmakers and executives, except for MTG, Gaetz (and others?), for the 2024 primaries.
After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.
Exclusive: Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘Dumbfounded’ GOP Colleagues Will Not Call for Biden’s Impeachment! (6.10.23)
In fact, consider that, since one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the big, bad federal government to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers imo), the worst problem that the country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is arguably a delay with mail delivery.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Trump can endorse candidates from lists that patriots who respect the federal government's constitutionally limited powers provide for him, as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments after they win office.
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
Patriots, let's not allow ourselves to be fooled for third time in 2024 by the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments.
The Founders were absolutely brilliant. They provided a constitutional method to amend the Constitution. But the Left does not want to proceed in a legal manner.
Great post, A10.
