White liberal ‘elites’ hate the Constitution because it stops them from taking control and abusing citizens in the name of ‘speed’... doing their evil faster.

Eff this dude...

Simple the 16th was never ratified by 3/4 of the states - null and void, which also abolishes IRS.

Repeal 17th but likely will have to eliminate most every 3 letter agency 1st. Maybe keep original 3 and any other that show a constitutional mandate.

19th - eye yi yi what to do after the cats outta the bag so to speak. Afraid we may have to live with it.

Goes without saying the Fed Reserve and Central Bank fiat currency GONE too and replaced by the gold standard.

Regarding the 24th I’ll assume the R’s knew what they were doing - afterall how can something be bad if the D’s vote in lockstep against it?

Ah, the actual insurrection.

Nah, the previous fake insurrection.

No, it works just fine.

But when men ignore it...


"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People.
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

I see that I am with 6 other folks - on the same wavelength.

Dissolution would allow for the inevitable conflict to take place sooner. It's coming anyway, rip off the bandaid already.

I hate to say it, but you may be right. Whoever tries to yank at the bandaid first will either be a remembered martyr or die forgotten in a federal prison.

So...a beheading, then.

Of sorts.

Wonder what these pukes would do if Jan. 6th repeated x10 fully armed.
If they were still able to, they would have to change their lil panties.

It seems that many here agree that the amendments beyond the first 10 (BOR) were useless, harmful and/or repealed.

The legislatures after the 'Miracle In Philadelphia' were less than stellar - a situation that continues today.

Yes, both of our only PHD presidents have been disasters.

I know Woodrow Wilson had his doctorate. Who was the second one?

Mea culpa, Obama only has a doctorate - not a PhD (a distinction of which I was unaware). Damn Affirmative Action hires.

It was Big Mike, his spouse, that was awarded the PhD.

Nope. She has the same JD degree as her husband has. Unless you're counting honorary degrees. If so then just about every president has a doctorate.

So you all want to get rid of the 14th, 16th, 19th, and 24th Amendments. Add in the 26th and the only people voting would be old white guys. You all would be in heaven.

Dose of reality for you:

The Dems took control of Washington DC, and the Dems are looking to cement their permanent majority by implementing the cheating enabled by the voting changes of 2020. As Joseph Stalin said, “It doesn’t matter who votes or how; it only matters who counts the votes.”

The Dems are looking to turn America into the authoritarian system we see in China.

No phony straw man argument. Just fact.

Not sure why you tagged me on this, given my only comment on this thread.

You say that is if that would be a bad thing.

So what is the solution? Certainly not secession or an armed revolution. It starts with stopping the Dems’ new voting legislation. Will the Dems be successful in eliminating the filibuster, the only way this proposed legislation can pass. Sinema says she will not support the elimination of the filibuster.

Should the law pass, the next step is to go to the courts. Federalization of elections is unconstitutional. The fight will go on, including restoring integrity to the electoral process. It starts at the local and state levels.

I totally agree that the ideal solution would be to fight and win the current battle.

At the same time, I challenge the Dems/Libs and anyone else who suggests that we eliminate/replace the Constitution (i.e. the topic of this thread), that doing so basically returns sovereignty to the individual states. In this latter scenario, I would work hard to ensure that Texas did not rejoin any ‘new’ nation.
