Don’t leftists understand that communism and socialism is slavery to the state?
There was a black Congresswoman who often said the Constitution was the greatest.
I think it was Shirley Chisholm, but I can’t find a quote.
Shirley Chisholm was quite articulate:

We can be somewhat certain that the author, Miss Hollis isn’t of the age where Civics were taught in Junior High School. Her piece is not only wrong in it’s fundamental assumptions, it is also a counter-revolutionary screed of the kind typically written by today’s young jorno-listers. It’s amazing her editor didn’t grade this an F and refuse to print it.
It’s futile arguing with people who endlessly get it wrong. And it can’t be a mistake
or, maybe they really are dumb as spit?
“William Paterson helped to author the New Jersey Plan, which attempted to safeguard the rights of small states. In his plan, Paterson called for each state to have equal representation in Congress. He opposed plans for proportional representation for fear that the interests of small states would be ignored. In reference to proportional representation, Paterson wrote “I would rather submit to a Monarch, to a despot, than to such a fate.” He left the convention in late July, but returned to sign the Constitution in September when aspects of his proposal were included in the Connecticut compromise.”
That smaller states get to have a substantial say was a fundamental part of the bargain.
If New York and California don’t want to keep the bargain, they can have a representative and a senator introduce a succession bill. In that way, California might be its own master and New York might be its own master.
Nine white guys claimed authority under the Constitution to OK the murder of 65 million babies. Maybe that should be clearly prohibited.
But until it is, there’s the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights:
Article 6
1. Every human being has the inherent right to life. This right shall be protected by law. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life....

The United States is a state party.
I think it’s a being, doc. The ultrasound shows it has a beating heart, sort of like a baby bird in a nest.
Do you think it is human?
Maybe that can be proven by analyzing its DNA.
I think they see it as threat to "Their democracy". They want to use the courts to force it on our nation, And that, of course, leads us to where all, so called, "democracys" in up. In tyranny..!
Those "old white guys" knew what they were doing.. All we need is the stones to make it so..
Yori Bezmenov in his lectures discussed the Communists’ ‘normalization’ stage of effecting a non-kinetic takeover of a country. Communists have been working for decades on one of their major objectives, which is normalizing the notion that ‘guns are bad’. Now, they have expanded their reach by attacking the entire Constitutional document as stogy and outdated by spouting the mantra ‘the Constitution is bad.’ The objective is to ‘normalize’ these Communist thoughts into society and make such radical views acceptable, at least to the low information public.
Must save democracy bla, bla, bla...
I love to reply to that comment that in a democracy the majority rules and in a Constitutional Republic I’m the majority.
SCOTUS does not represent the people. It's job is to represent the Constitution.
Therein lies the proof of the Left's failure to understand this country, and why they want to change it...
Yes. It is. It’s extremely dangerous.
To the very people it was designed to shield us from.
To those that would trample all over our inalienable rights, under God.
The world is now a real-time, global, and multilingual entity - where anything and everything can be observed, and reported by, everyone....enabled by the internet. The inevitable result is that it has become a global battleground and the first casualty is ‘free speech’. The only place, apparently, where it is enshrined into a higher law is the USA. It doesn’t exist elsewhere, so the tactics that other countries are engaging in to crush dissenting voices is creeping into our politics. We’re the last place to resist collectivism, that individual rights are paramount, they come FIRST, and are in the BEST INTERESTS of the collective.
We’re witnessing a collective and global evil. I’m ashamed of where the UK has arrived to and where it is headed. Being born and raised there, I remember so many people proud of it being a ‘free country’ and being a bastion of ‘free speech’. And yes, it WAS...but by CULTURE, not law. There is no 1A there and the new, far left, government is throwing people in prison for speech they don’t like. Tyranny is exposed, they have no 2A, and believe there’s little they can do.
The USA, along with its Constitution, is a beacon of light that is shining brighter than ever - so long as we don’t allow that light to be extinguished by those that consider it ‘dangerous’. Our answer to anyone saying such should just be “you’re a TYRANT”. Say it loud. Say it often.

I no longer call myself a conservative.
I am now a strict constitutionalist.
Why?
The constitution pisses off liberals.
The constitution pisses off conservatives.
The constitution, as written, pisses everyone off.
That’s what keeps us on our toes.
SOME PEOPLE NEED TO GO BACK TO AROUND THE 2nd GRADE & REPEAT ALL THOSE CLASSES ABOUT OUR HISTORY.
How is the Constitution standing in their way? Nobody bothers to enforce what’s in it anyway. RATS have been bastardizing the Constitution for decades with impunity.
The Constitution is dangerous only to despots.

“One of the biggest threats to America’s politics might be the country’s founding document.”
Then you are doing “politics” wrong.
