We need to get out of these so called treaties like tpp, gatt, nafta etc, that override the constitution. Then there's the big money deciding the political process. Even the supreme court members are wined and dined by billionaires. Otherwise, all these lengthy discussions about what the founders intended, don't mean that much.
Technically the treaties are constitutional. They were just written with the sole purpose of enriching the 1% while screwing over hardworking Americans. They need to be redrafted or scrapped and tariffs implemented to redress the imbalance.
As far as eliminating the big money contributions that should be unconstitutional IMO. Citizens United ranks right up there with Dredd Scott when it comes to vying for the worst all time SCOTUS decisions IMO. And no, we don't need to rewrite the constitution to eliminate big money. We just need to pass laws that require that all campaign funds can only be provided by American citizens with actual SSN's with a cap of $3k per election per candidate.
Oh, and let's eliminate contributions to political parties and PAC's entirely. Candidates must have sole control of all funds for their campaigns and must be held personally accountable for every cent.
