The Constitution and Bill of Rights may well have been written a long time ago, but they are timeless.
Who told you that?
Do you think getting rid of 'Freedom of Speech, or Right to Assemble or protest your government or to have Due Process is good for anybody?
I do not want to get rid of that - what made you think I did??? I want to fix the operations of the government for better representation and more responsive to the needs of municipal communities.
If those 'Old & Worn Out Documents' were tossed or rewritten, just how do you think they'll look in the future??? As the citizenry of this country continue to evolve, I would imagine it would become 'You can only speak if it aligns with government approved topic" "if you protest your government, then we'll just shoot you or make you disappear' and on down the line of those Rights to do so as each of us sees fit that is gauranteed and protected by those out of date documents. Without those documents, YOU have no say whatsoever.
You really want that shit??? Then move to communist China or North Korea where that is happening still. The government only allows press coverage of 'approved' content (propaganda at its finest), you get shot for voicing against your government, and not allowed to protest.
What's so hard to understand 'The right to peacefully assemble' or protest??? It means just that...PEACEFULLY voice your discontent. It does NOT mean you can start riots, burn & loot business's, threaten or carry out violence against innocent bystanders OR even the group you are protesting. Doing that is breaking the laws and violators should be prosecuted for it.
No shit! I agree. But they do not, and they are going to eventually wear you out, because the government is improperly organized and it cannot handle the diversity. They are going to continue exploiting the inadequacies in an unwitting effort get you to change your mind and" fix" the government to meet their needs.
Freedom of the Press.....is just that. It allows 'journalists' or news sources or others providing information to others......the right for them to spin whatever news story at whatever angle they choose. It means CNN or FOX or WAPO or even National Enquire to publish OPINION pieces, or to word a story of 'facts' in such a way it influences the readers.......just like they all do now. Without that right, they would only be able to publish what the government allows or wants to be made known. There would be no 'anonymous' sources for the stories published.
I agree, but I want the government to deliver the facts through our local representative offices, so I do not have to decipher the commercially influenced reporting.
The Constitution isn't perfect by any means, but it's the only thing that separates US from a dictatorship or communist rule. It does allow the people to take responsibility for their own lives and not giving that responsibility over to the government and the people left to be it's slaves....but that's what's been slowly happening with those little tweaks politicians use to twist it to their own liking.
I don't think most people realize just what they support when they vote to do away with the Law
I don't think you understand what the Constitution is all about - all you wrote about is the civil rights. I am concerned about the game theory used to make the legislative decisions. I am not advocating to do away with law . I want to make better law, more efficient law, which should lead to order and tranquil society. People do not agree to what the Constitution means, and that is a major problem that causes the social chaos.
The Constitution is not what separates United States republic government from dictatorship or communism - the people's will is what does that.
Your thinking processes is very naive. It is easy to read that you are just writing what someone else has told you how the government is. You are not thinking of the possible perspectives. The "Constitution is timeless"? The government that it originally prescribed does not exist, anymore. The Senate is appointed by state referendums, and the House is limited to 435 seats that are gerrymandered by the states. The judiciary has been reorganized three times.
