Why shouldn’t we repeal the 16th and 17th amendments?

Agreed. Claire McCatkill would be gone after 72% of the state voted against Obamacare, and she voted for it anyway.

Congress shall pass no law in which it is exempted from the provisions contained therein.
****************
They’ll just add some boilerplate to every bill exempting themselves and they’ll be compliant.

A majority of the Senate is Democrat. A majority of legislative chambers are Republican. So you’d see some difference. Probably not as much as we’d like, given the RINOs, but some.

Then I'll amend my Amendment to:

Congress shall pass no law nor add any boilerplate exempting themselves from the provisions contained therein.

Yup, it is called “The Golden Rule: He that has the gold makes the rules.”

HST, those of us who are seriously concerned about the future of America are obliged to keep fighting for Truth, Justice and the American Way.

Perhaps we can somehow, someway, put the good guys in the power seats and put the bad guys in a federal prison?

If we begin to feel that we cannot rescue our country FRom the bad guys, and we desert the field of battle, then THEY win!

And, I could not stand to leave that legacy for my children, my grandchildren or my countrymen and women!

If you believe in the Spirit of America; if you believe in American exceptionalism; if you believe that America is “. . . a shining city upon a hill. . . .”, then you MUST stay in the fight!

I had a boss back in the day (he was the Air Boss in USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63)) who repeatedly reminded us that “can’t never could.”

It was true then, and it is true still: If we don’t fight the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist Bastards who are stealing America, they will win, and the World will be a much, much poorer place to live.

WE MUST PREVAIL!

The 16th & 17th Amendments are the two most damaging changes ever introduced to the Constitution.

They should both be repealed enthusiastically. The People should be educated as to their horrendous effects.

I would also add an explicit right to privacy from the Government.
