It’s not a personal attack. You stated the constitution and its amendments are being ignored and that is simply a false statement. Are they slowly being compromised? Yes but certainly not ignored.
Oh, right. Gotcha. Maybe a better descriptor is “violated.” The present constitution and amendments are routinely violated, and somehow a new one won’t be. Like gun laws in Chicago.
If what we have isn’t being “ignored” it’s because they make a show out of “violating” it.
I really should clarify something: I have nothing against the attempt, and I’d lobby Briggs, if he were my guy, to allow this to pass. I’d also fight like heck to see it done correctly. I just don’t think people should see this as some sort of panacea. If we went all the way, and got a lot of new paper in place, it will be another whole war just to make sure the new Constitution isn’t treated as shabbily as the old one.
