The Constitution Is Broken and Should Not Be Reclaimed

[catnipman]

Insane NYT advocates full metal jacket fascism: abolish U.S. Constitution ...

[Trailerpark Badass]

We are going to have to kill these people.

[Recovering_Democrat]

If we burned all of their books because the #1A and #4A are no longer relevant what would they say?

[Tudorfly]

True. Leftists are broken, not our American constitution.

[goodnesswins]

When the Constitution goes, so does liberty...I guess these perfessors think they will be exempt from the result.

[packagingguy]

Not to mention having your kids brainwashed into sexual perversion (as here in a deep blue sh!t hole, excuse me, city in a deep red state).

[joshua c]

the Constitution is an impediment to their socialist utopia, ie, totalitarian police state

[SauronOfMordor]

One reason for these woeful outcomes is that our current Constitution is inadequate, which is why it serves reactionaries so well. Starting with a text that is famously undemocratic, progressives are forced to navigate hard-wired features, like the Electoral College and the Senate, designed as impediments to redistributive change while drawing on much vaguer and more malleable resources like commitments to due process and equal protection — resources that a conservative Supreme Court has used over the years to invalidate things like abortion rights and child labor laws and might use in the coming term to prohibit affirmative action.

Here we come to the core of it.

Freedom, the right to own the product of your personal efforts, and the right to pursue your own goals, is incompatible with the socialist idea of individuals being the property of the State.

“...o reclaim America from constitutionalism...”

The real need is to reclaim the Law Skoolz from libtard, fascist commies.

[SuperLuminal]

Stinking communist traitors...
Line them up against a wall!

[frank ballenger]

American Commies on one side.
Us on the other.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

I’d like to invite them to waive any benefits of the Bill of Rights as it applies to them.

[reed13k]

I’d argue it’s #2 behind the Declaration of Independence...but we’re talking minor differences

[KC_Conspirator]

More leftist tyrants. Next step is cattle cars for you all.

[Mad Dawg]

I don’t think that’s quite it.

The Constitution as amended **and as misinterpreted by progressive justices** is permitting ...

[Brooklyn Attitude]

This is a great opportunity for Republicans to ask DemocRAT candidates if they agree with this opinion. I’d love to watch them squirm as they bend themselves into a pretzel trying to answer the question.

[Jim Noble]

Sure, OK.

Plead the Constitution when you are in front of a people’s tribunal. It’s probably better for the nation, and for you personally, to prevent the Bolshevik takeover before it happens.

[arthurus]

The 16th, 17th, and 19th together, the Wilsonian Progressive amendments set us on the path to the Total State. FDR’s construction of the modern bureaucracy speeded up the process.

[larrytown]

Two more names for THE LIST.
