These days all kinds of ridiculous things are said against America, the Pledge of Allegiance, the flag and our history. Now, one leftist reporter calls the Constitution "trash." It should be thrown away and replaced with something "more inclusive."
Elie Mystal who is the "justice correspondent" for The Nation, said on "The View" recently, "The Constitution is kind of trash."
This was not a momentary aberration. On another outlet, a reporter asked him, "[A]re you arguing that the Constitution needs to be scrapped altogether?
He replied: "Sure. … But, I don't think that's going to happen. Like, if we could throw that out and start over with a new document that was more inclusive of everybody, that was written by everybody – at no point have black people, brown people or women had a say in actually writing the Constitution or the amendments to that Constitution – if we could throw that out and have a delegation of all Americans to write a new one, I would be all for that."

It’s trash to everyone who thinks the children of foreigners, who are themselves born with the foreign nationality of their foreign parent(s), are natural born citizens of the USA.
That includes many freepers.
And the most important thing to say about Mystal, Jackson, etc is....what are they doing here?
Mystal is free to leave anytime.
He’s just mau mauing Whitey so he can get bettah stuff. He doesn’t give a damn about a “more just” Constitution, or anything like that. Just mo’ stuff for him and his buddies.
No reason he can’t build same in Sub-Saharan Africa. The White Boer did it in South Africa, no reason he can’t.
Or so he claims.
It’s our bible. Just what do you think the left thinks of the Bible? Think BJ leaving church with it in his hand that morning waiting for his PM appointment with Monica.
You can defend the Constitution all you want. You’ll be even more busy explaining how slave owners could be so noble.
Covid will become a non-issue by November. Putin may bull back just enough to help Biden. We’re asleep at the switch. We’ll have to run on social issues-pedal to the metal and we won’t be united.The left will pounce.
The more relevant question: is it being followed in the US anymore?
Anyone who actually understands the Constitution, and the Amendments already made to it, wouldn’t be making such an asinine statement.
What is in fact “trash”, is that our Government hasn’t been following the express limits in the Constitution for the better part of the last 80 years.
Where do these people learn these things?
Humpty Dumpty, you have competition.
Well, for one, from US Supreme Court justices like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She had palpable contempt for the Constitution.
In America, where a democratic constitution has already been established, the communists must make the common cause with the party which will turn this constitution against the bourgeoisie and use it in the interests of the proletariat …What, this wasn’t done sufficiently to satisfy Mystal’s evil desires?

In school, from teachers who are God-hating communists.
“It should be thrown away and replaced with something “more inclusive.”
Spoken like a real robot. Our society has lasted successfully for going on 250 years because we didn’t do “exactly” that. Freedom has nothing to do with being governed to the max. It has to do with the governed calling the shots in a democratic majority.
We created the most un-inclusive government since the caveman and it has proven not only successful for us, but the standard for the world as millions try to, and are aided in, get here every day and many times are willing to possibly die to do it. It’s not the perfect form of government as our founders didn’t imagine the all out assault on the freedoms they envisioned that a group farmers fought and died for. They never dreamed the government they created would find ways to take it away and end up with the patients in charge of the asylum. And this anti-American piece of it wants to do exactly that.
His use of inclusive is the ultimate display of his hatred for this country. The definition of inclusive from Oxford is:
1. including or covering all the services, facilities, or items normally expected or required.
But the addition of that definition is:
“the price is inclusive, with few incidentals”
And those incidentals further separate the people from the entire principle of the succcess we have shared.

How do you account for the fact that the United Nations Charter follows the format of the Russian (USSR) Constitution of 1936 rather than the format of the (Covenant of the) League of Nations? Would you feel there was any significance in the fact that the general secretary for the organization which drew up the charter was Alger Hiss?This was certainly not mentioned too freely to the public from the start; but the book this was mentioned in came out in 1958, thirteen years after the UN had been established, and this fact therein revealed should have been earth-shattering—but was not.

Both parties cooperated to abrogate the Constitution on Usurpation Day.
We had warnings, which were ignored.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.The merging of the parties under anti-Constitutional leftist dogma has been ongoing for about the same period of time, perhaps longer. (Sorry about the lengthy post.)

Franklin Roosevelt’s rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states’ rights by the national Democratic Party — an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement — as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. […;] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.
The Republican Party, to be sure, gives lip service to states’ rights. We often talk about “returning to the states their rightful powers”; the Administration has even gone so far as to sponsor a federal-state conference on the problem. But deeds are what count, and I regret to say that in actual practice, the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, summons the coercive power of the federal government whenever national leaders conclude that the states are not performing satisfactorily. …;

The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, “conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done.” A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The “underlying philosophy” of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that “if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.”
Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State. …
