You seem to have missed this section entirely; our Constitution, in use for over two hundred years - should not be so lightly abandoned because of “light and transient causes”. 0bama is going to be a sad footnote in American history; what you propose would be the END of America. Like having a head cold, and the cure you proscribe is a .357 hollow point to the skull. The “cure” you propose is far worse than the disease.

From the Declaration.....

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Sorry, but I don’t consider the destruction of the country and the shredding of the Constitution to be “light and transient”. Do you?
