Boebert mocked for Constitution tweet

[Magnus]

Twitter users mocked first-term Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Friday over a tweet in which she argued that defending the U.S. Constitution “doesn’t mean trying to rewrite the parts you don’t like.”

Users on Twitter were quick to point out to the gun rights advocate the many changes that have been ratified to the Constitution since it became the country’s official legal framework in 1788.

According to the Philadelphia nonprofit the National Constitution Center, the constitution as first drafted in 1787 did not include the first 10 Amendments, also known as the Bill of Rights.

In the more than 200 years since these first set of rights were adopted through an agreement with several states, more than a dozen constitutional amendments have been added that many Americans point to as pivotal moments in U.S. history, including the abolition of slavery, guaranteeing women the right to vote and establishing the legal voting age at 18 years old.

Lauren Boebert is a member of Congress and doesn’t understand that we have literally rewritten/revised the Constitution 27 times to do things like abolish slavery and, you know, extend the right to vote and run for office to women… like Lauren Boebert. https://t.co/PuxrFJuJuG

Can this woman be any dumber? The best part? Boebert has cosponsored a constitutional amendment proposed last month seeking to add term limits for members of Congress and yet... hasn't a clue about amendments!

Maybe she isn’t referring to attempts to amend the constitution, but lame attempts by states and judges in courts that try to get around them.

This now seems to be one of two unrelated instances in which Ms. Boebert is being harshly condemned by those on the left wrong for saying something that is indisputably true; the other when she called out a mentally-fucked-up man that thinks he's a woman, and called out the folly of such a man holding a position of importance and power.

Those on the left wrong seem to get really upset when anyone speaks the truth, in opposition to their lies and madness.

Sounds like you'd eat a mile of her shit to see where it came from...

It must suck to be an ugly, substandard nothing...

Actually:

The Constitution itself wouldn’t have been ratified at all but-for a commitment to craft a Bill of Rights.

Opponents of ratification quickly seized upon the absence of a bill of rights and Federalists, especially Madison, soon realized that they must offer to add amendments to the Constitution after its ratification. Only by making such a pledge were the Constitution’s supporters able to achieve ratification in such closely divided states as New York and Virginia.

The Bill of Rights—the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution protecting the rights of U.S. citizens—were ratified on December 15, 1791.

In effect, the Constitution pretty much came with a Bill or Rights.

How about the next 15 amendments?

How about the next 15 amendments?

What about them?

What about them?

Would you consider them to be changes to the Constitution?

She’s ignorant.

And it’s this sort of ignorance among voters that results in the likes of Boebert getting elected to Congress.

 

[BackAgain]

I believe that’s the purpose of an Amendment.

But the big question remains. So what?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“…trying to rewrite the parts you don’t like.”

An yet conservatives advocate for doing exactly this – the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause being a prime example.

It's nothing to me, you'd have to ask Boebert. She's the one that's bitching about something that she knows absolutely nothing about.

You don’t know that, either.

your premise is a lie,, that was meant for slaves not enemies entering the country to subvert gaining natural rights,,

That is true, but adding stuff to it, does change the Constitution.
