I've been pointing that out for a while now. I also pointed out that REPUBLICAN legislation that is anathema to the Constitution needs to be repealed as well.

Bush 41's arms import Executive order, and X42's as well, would have been despicably easy for Bush 43 to have repealed... And yet... There is sits.

Not just legislative measures or Executive orders, but judicial asshattery as well. Roe v Wade? Kelo? McCain-Feingold?

We need a full-on reset of our Republic. The Constitution was wonderfully written and has only reached it's sorry state via pernicious incrementalism.

I say we dust off a set of revised Articles of Confederation, weld on a Bill of Rights with some real teeth in it, and give that a try for the next 240 years...

If we’re going to craft a new Constitution, or tweak the current one, there definitely needs to be a clause on term limits for members of Congress. For all of the insight into human nature the founding fathers had, somehow they missed the temptation of politicians to remain in power.

This is partly why I said all LEFTIST LEGISLATION must be ended and not all LEGISLATION BY DEMOCRATS must be ended. All leftist legislation by all leftists must be ended asap, no matter what each and every leftists political affiliation really is.
