You’re right that the SCOTUS is lawless, but what’s the harm of trying to amend the constitution or even impeach judges? Sure. We’re likely to fail, but we should make every attempt to peacefully resolve these issues.
In this gay marriage ruling, the Supreme Court literally took every other democratic, peaceful means of resolving the issue—short of a constitutional amendment—from us. We can discuss it as much as we want (free speech and all—HA!), but a constitutional amendment is the only recourse left short of open rebellion (non-violent civil disobedience or violent revolution). No law, no vote can change a Supreme Court ruling—only a constitutional amendment or a rebellion. I’ll still choose the former.
Are this many Americans infected with Normalcy Bias or am I the only odd ball left in the country who sees reality for what it is?
Do this many people not understand we live in a POST-CONSTITUTIONAL COUNTRY???? That we suffered a Marxist/Fascist Velvet Coup????
Look, it's Red Dawn WITHOUT the planes, tanks and troops. Do you folks really think that passing new Amendments to a document that has been replaced by fiat is going to stop the tyrants that committed the coup??
If you do - you do not understand who now rules us and what their intentions are.
How can anyone think that because the current Beast on The Potomac disregards the Constitution, that somehow passing new Amendments to the Constitution are going to have any effect??????????
I'm all for a COS if for anything else - to show that efforts were made to stop and reverse what has already happened to us.
But if you put your faith in a COS - I am telling you right now - your faith is misplaced and nothing that you hope for is going to come from it. Think PAST the Normalcy Bias- because our overlords most certainly already have.
I warn against anyone who says that Article V is our only hope, and that doing so WILL return us back to a Constitutional Republic. Same as I will warn ANYONE who says that Ted Cruz or ANY single politician running for President is going to be our messiah and save us.
