Are you guys aware the GOP has a plan to rewrite the US Constitution?

Right-Wing Billionaires Have a Project to Rewrite Our Constitution, and They Are Shockingly Close to Pulling It Off

Imagine if the U.S. Constitution barred the EPA and Department of Education from existing. All union protections are dead, there are no more federal workplace safety standards, and even child-labor laws are struck down, along with a national minimum wage.

Imagine that the Constitution makes it illegal for the federal government to protect you from big polluters, big banks and even big food and pharma—all are free to rip you off or poison you all they want, and your only remedy is in state courts and legislatures, because the Constitution prevents Congress from doing anything about any of it. The federal government can't even enforce voting or civil rights laws.

To add injury to insult, the federal government has to shut down Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, because all of these programs (along with food stamps, housing supports and any programs that help the middle class, the less fortunate or disabled) are “beyond the reach” of what the federal government can do.

Coburn: Let’s change Constitution

The Conservative Plan to Rewrite the Constitution, and Yes, It’s a Thing

I watched former Senator Coburn talk about this on TV just this morning. It's no joke. Republicans are deadly serious.

Republicans can never again complain the Democrats won't follow the constitution when it's the GOP who want to scrap it to turn the country into some kind of GOP theocracy which drowns out dissent.

Pie in the sky fear mongering.

Do you know how hard altering the constitution is?

 

[Doc1]

You do realize that FDR WAS an "economic royalist"?

No, why don't you tell us:

Through its 'Convention of States' project, CSG promotes an effort to amend the U.S. Constitution pursuant to Article V, which provides that thirty-four states (two-thirds) can trigger a convention to propose an amendment, which must then be ratified by 38 states (three-fourths)."

Also I would bet you don't know anything about Wallace at all.

Really these guys are still around:

Only a fool would think putting big business in with politicians and getting big business writing the laws could come out in favour of the people.

Yup, balanced budgets, good reason for you loons to not like the effort.

Hard but not impossible.?

I was looking through your posts to see what kinds of things you write about. Did you notice just about every one of your posts is like 9 words. My experience is that people that don't say anything don't know anything. In fact, when people ask questions, it's because they are interested in learning. But that doesn't appear to apply to you.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Is this different than democrats wanting to abolish the Constitution?

If you want to know what democrats are up to, just look at what they accuse others of doing.

NYS has a Department of Health...NYS doesn't need a Federal overseer.

America is safe

Is that why you think Republicans want to rewrite the constitution? Because of balanced budgets? After the deficit creating Bush tax cuts for the rich why would you think that? Doesn't make any sense.

Correct

Sure it does. Look at Mississippi and Alabama and other southern states. They hate the poor and blacks. They revel in the suffering of their people.

And now we have Trump. Are American citizens living in Puerto Rico "safe"?

Democratic run cities spew ungodly amounts of pollution and they dare even bring up the subject? Democratic run cities pave over the environment obliterating it. They spill hundreds of millions of gallons of untreated toxic sewage into public waterways so fouling the water swimming must be banned. They truck a mountain of garbage off to who knows where, for a while they were dumping it into the sea.

Democrats have no credibility on the environment issue.
