The latest Supreme Court rulings make it clear: Our current constitution is ill-equipped to provide the necessary legal structures and framework of ideas necessary for democracy to flourish as an institution in the 21st century. This may be the real point of the latest rulings of our highest court. Rather than hold the position that the court ruled inappropriately, consider the argument that the court ruled correctly based upon the document they had at hand, namely, the United States Constitution.
During the 1970s and ’80s, conservative groups dreamed of holding a constitutional convention. Why? To write into our governing document ideas and governing beliefs that those on the right believed were missing. I suggest that rather than whine or complain about the court’s current rulings based on its constructivist view of law, why not instead use the energy of our modern times to construct a document that is reflective of a new constructivist view of the world that includes all of humanity, not just selected groups?

Yeah, what we really, really need to be doing at a time like this is opening up the Constitution for editing/ sarc.
Not today satan.
More Leftist wishful thinking along the lines of ‘if we don’t get our way, we will burn it all to the ground’....
An Article V convention is a very bad idea.
Or they could just leave. Maybe they could have their own states.
If the people who served on the Convention panel loved America and sacrificed for America and were of the same moral and ethical character as the Founders, I would consider it.
But definitely NOT in today’s world.
“new constructivist view of the world...”
“During the 1970s and ’80s, conservative groups dreamed of holding a constitutional convention. Why?”
- No, it was to stop the communist’s march through our institutions, retard.
Sadly we failed. Our countries last gasps are what this shit stick is whining about. A pox on him.
“new constructivist view of the world...”
What is this supposed to mean? Constructivist.
I didn’t get the decision I wanted. Disband the court. Wah! Wah!
Because the RATs will never let that happen until they can pack the convention.
Another steaming pile of lib b........!
They said the sane thing after Dred v Scott
“democracy to flourish as an institution in the 21st century. “
You mean like in China?
The whole premise of our nation and its founding was individual freedom and limited government that our founders warned must NEVER concentrate power at the federal level.
Period. Full stop.
What they are proposing is a new constitution and a new nation because their desires are incompatible with our constitution. They are also thankfully incompatible with the desires of most American voters despite the propaganda we are subjected too.
Our nation has irreconcilable differences over this fundamental truth.
I actually had a liberal tell me once that it was unfair to expect representatives to risk their offices to pass unpopular legislation - the courts need to rule the progressive way on these issues because the people have been brainwashed by right-wing media and aren't smart enough to know what is in their own best interest.
They said the same thing after Dred v Scott....
(Fixed)
Considering the 2 sides involved are Obama’s 3rd and the McRomBush cabal I say hell no!
Don’t mess with perfect.
