DONT *^#! WITH THE CONSTITUTION

[Arkinsaw]

There isn't anything wrong with Consitutional amendments per se. It depends on what they are. An amendment to provide for continuity of government seems to be a reasonable amendment.

I'm more concerned about stupid amendments such as flag burning and ERA. I would be very concerned about amendments to end the term limits on the President or change the electoral college.

In fact, I would like the *^#! with the Constitution to remove the popular election of Senators and the income tax. Some *^#!ing with the Constitution would be a good thing.

Agreed, don't *^#! with the Constitution.

If terrorists wipe out a large portion of the House and Senate these bodies might be shut down for 4 months. And this is supposed to be ... a problem? The government and congress mostly devotes its efforts to abusing citizen's liberties anyway. The four months would be a vacation from abuse. Where is the problem?

The "solution" to the problem, proposed by the "bipartisan" comittee is to amend the constitution.

So it is to be current and past practioners of govt, who mainly acted to abuse citizen's liberties by enacting larger and larger govt, to whom we are to entrust amending the constitution to "fix" a "problem" they have identified with our system of govt.

This is like a comittee of foxes declaring there is a serious flaw in the chicken coop security system for which they propose another larger committee of foxes be called to work out recommended specific repairs to submit for Farmer Jones's approval. Farmer Jones had better notice it's a committee of foxes making recommendations, no matter how "sensible" their recommendations might be.
