The Delusional Lying Leftist NYT might as well say, “Freedom is broken.”
How stupid. Freedom lives in the hearts of every man and will never disappear.

The Constitution isn’t brokenThe 1788 Constitution, as amended, is permitting a Bolshevik revolution to take over the country.

Sedition against The Republic. The NY Times thinks the game is over so now they can freely out themselves now. How ignorant and tragic.

Then, I’d invite them to leave the country.
They should not be teaching law.

This is why a split is inevitable.
Personally I have nothing in common with the average leftist here in CA. I don’t want to be friends with them. I don’t want to have a drink with them. I don’t want them as my neighbor. Its why I’m leaving CA, my birthplace, and headed for the free state of florida.

Are these putzes willing to pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors to the effort?
I didn’t think so.

The old definition of a communist was a liberal in a hurry. Now the two are indistinguishable (though they are in a hurry).

The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land.
People must follow the law.
If people will not follow the law, then man, not the law, is broken.

The Constitution is meant to protect the citizens from an oppressive government. That is why the liberals hate it.

Their idea of a Constitution would resemble the old Soviet one.

The Maoists are just sore because they don't have nearly enough support to change (amend) even one tiny piece of the Constitution...let alone the 1st Amendment,2nd Amendment,4th Amendment...

Progressives have, as part of their foundational philosophy, that the Constitution is old, irrelevant, and needs to be "worked around" or ignored.
They have been working hard at this for over 100 years.
Now that people have worked hard to restore Constitutional order, the Progressives say: not so fast; the Consitution is old, irrelevant, and needs to be "worked around" or ignored...
To: Brooklyn Attitude
Liberals always want the rule of law rewritten for what they want, even if the law doesn’t support it. They don’t have the insight or wisdom to realize that law governed by caprice is actually no law at all, and when they’re not in control, can be used against them.
