We're old enough to remember when President Barack Obama admitted that he wanted gun control, but he was "constrained" by the Constitution. At the Democratic National Convention, Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson said that we need to "reimagine" democracy as something "more revolutionary than what our founders put down on that little piece of paper." Just yesterday, MSNBC's Chris Hayes said the Electoral College was "a national suicide pact."
No, you f*cking treasonous assholes ... The Supreme Law of Our Land - The U.S. Constitution - stands in your dictatorial way because it clearly limits the power of the government and clearly creates a representative republic, instead of a pure democracy, that protects the rights of all, rather than just the rights of the majority. What you propose is totalitarian tyranny, which is exactly why the Founding Fathers put the Second Amendment into The Constitution - because you richly deserve a bullet between your beady, lil' evil eyes.
The Constitution sure keeps getting in the way of what Democrats want to do. That's why it's not surprising that the New York Times is entertaining the idea that the Constitution is dangerous.
The New York Times (@nytimes) ~ "Americans have long assumed that the Constitution could save us; a growing chorus now wonders whether we need to be saved from it," our critic writes.

No, New York Slimes ... YOU Marxist haters are dangerous. You don't like it here? Move to Pyongyang.
Jennifer Szalai writes in a review of USC Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky's new book, "No Democracy Lasts Forever":
Originalists, as these scholars call themselves, say they are simply reacting to decades of “overreach” by “activist” judges. Liberal critics counter that interpreting the law according to what the founders (supposedly) wanted amounts to an end run around protecting and promoting a multiracial democracy. The attorney and columnist Madiba K. Dennie argues that originalists’ canny use of apolitical language ensnares liberals into treating originalism as coherent jurisprudence, even when it functions more like an “ideology.” Far from encouraging “judicial restraint,” she writes in “The Originalism Trap,” originalism is much more effective in “restraining judges from doing good things.”
Define "good things."
"Things" that Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, Tojo, Mao, and Pol Pot would believe are "good."
Chemerinsky stopped by MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to promote his book and argue that America needs a new Constitution:
Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) ~ UC Berkeley Dean Erwin Chemerinsky says a new Constitution formalizing the United States’ evolution into a pure national democracy is critical: “The Electoral College increasingly is choosing the president who lost the popular vote. Two senators per state is undermining democracy.”

Well, that's just it, Chemerinsky ... we HAVEN'T "evolved' into a pure national democracy, you Marxist puke ... we are STILL very much a Constitutional Republic. You are simply fantasizing that your Marxist dreams have come true and the Democrat Party can just autocratically change the law without the American people's consent in accordance with the established law. What you propose is not "evolution," but revolution, like in 1917 Russia.
This is the dean of Berkeley's law school.
JWW13 (@JWarrenW) ~ Of course the Constitution is dangerous to leftist totalitarian Socialists and Communists, that is, today's Democratic Party, who believe that all opposing views must be silenced, by force if necessary.
NewsieOne (@NewsieOne) ~ The same people who love affirmative action, DEI, and quotas support majority rule when it helps them seize power. Got it.
An Utter Boor (@utterboor) ~ Utter nonsense. The Constitution is the bedrock of America’s freedom, ensuring checks on power, protecting individual rights, and providing a stable framework for justice. Without it, tyranny or chaos could easily reign. Abandon it, and we risk losing everything.
John Montgomery (@John8Montgomery) ~ "... a growing chorus now wonders whether we need to be saved from it." If you "need to be saved" from the Constitution, then you're probably the one doing something wrong.
No "probably" about it.
Zeppo (@Zeppo81190327) ~ That "growing chorus" are Communists and they should get the hell out of the United States.
This is another one of those issues that's become partisan. You never hear Republicans calling for a "reimagining" of the Constitution; it's always Democrats who want to scrap all the founding documents and start from scratch (to enshrine Marxism).
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
