What is so special about their process that it must remain sacrosanct? What's so sacrsanct about the Constitution?

The NRA, like other organizations has bylaws, which in effect are their version of a Constitution. They specify the methods of nomination and election of board members. IMHO they should be changed, right now the unelected managers have too much power, but until they are, they must be followed. Same as the Constitution.

I don’t pretend to know the NRA bylaws, but I am sure that there are provisions for removing someone for the good of the order. I know that my local gun rights group has made such provision. I cannot imagine that the NRA doesn’t also.

And congress has provisions for removing their members and the president when they violate their office.

I don’t see this as any different.

I am sure that you didn’t do it on purpose, but when you italicized both sentences, you made it appear that I said that the Constitution was not sacrosanct. I’d just like it on the record that I did not say that.

I understand that bylaws must be followed. I am questioning whether there is a mechanism for removing someone who is unfit and if not, why not?

If I am doing harm to the reputation or the mission of the group, I would expect that they could remove me. Is that an unreasonable expectation?
