We’re living under a flawed Constitution. Let’s start fresh and rewrite it
Los Angeles Times ^ | Aug. 23, 2024 | Erwin Chemerinsky

Posted on 09/01/2024 6:10:16 PM PDT by artichokegrower

No matter the outcome of the November elections, it is urgent that there be a widespread recognition that American democracy is in danger and that reforms are essential. No form of government lasts forever, and it would be foolhardy to believe that the United States cannot fall prey to the forces that have ended democracies in many other countries.

Hey Dean,

How about you put that idea where it belongs.

Don;;t change the constitution.

Change your country of residence, and go to where there is a constitution that better suits your beliefs and needs.

Bet you’ll choose to remain living under ‘this constitution’, since there is none better elsewhere.

Why do people choose to come live in this country? Hmmm... perhaps it’s because they know they can live under a constitution that allows them to live free and prosper.

Clearly this guy is an idiot because he keeps referring to democracy, we are not a democracy we are a republic. He is supposed to be one of the smart people and does not seem to know the difference.

I say we simply try to obey the Constitution as written, especially the 10 Amendment.

This POS is DEAN of the Berkeley Law School

Also, people may remember how he publicly freaked-out when Pro-Palestine protestors showed up to protest in front of his house for several days in April 2024

“That’s what Chemirinsky is, he shouldn’t even be in the country.”

We can’t discount the seriousness of what he is promoting though. Over half this country has been indoctrinated to feel the same. And they have the unlimited global power and influence to make it happen.

Nope. How about you fags at the LA Times just STFU? Or go live in your precious communist China. Take the entire LA times with you. You’ll be happy in your commie paradise.

Whenever I see his name as an author of an article on FR and search for him, I’m reminded of how awful is this loser.

You say you want to change the Constitution…. What are the chances that even half of the states will sign up for the new country?

If the urbanites write what they want, the rural states will walk. Good luck in a country that can’t grow its own food or supply it’s own energy.

Every major newspapers seems to be publishing similar articles. The NY Times had one as well yesterday.

"They" know, "they" just don't like it.
