The argument being put forth here is to re write a Contract which is not being upheld in the first place.
I suggest we concentrate on enforcing and upholding what we have before we look to some utopian change.
I don't know about you but I've seen what "change" looks like and I think I'll pass.
Exactly. we've seen what hopey-changey can do. There are some people in this country who just do not get it. We do not need to change the constitution, it works, we just need to enforce it, especially the ones who swore to uphold it.
Well, you finally write a cogent and respectful comment. Thank you.
The commerce clause is eating away all of our liberties. We can propose an amendment to handle it, valid. However, a CC can also accomplish that. Is a CC a good idea? Not in my opinion, but it should be on the table for debate because it is a method allowed in the Constitution.
The 9th and 10th have also been ignored. The 9th mostly by the conservatives and the 10th by the left. Do we chip away at the 9th and piss off conservatives or chip away at the 10th and make the left go up in flames? We can solve both by a CC. Is rewriting the BOR a good idea? No, not in my opinion, but I am happy to discuss it.
