Updating the U.S. Constitution to more appropriately address modern times

[danielpalos]

We need to bring the United States Constitution up to date to make it more relevant to the modern world.

In particular, the Bill of Rights, especially the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments need to be made more compatible with the modern world.

Here is how I would word them:

1st:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of a religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of the press. The right of the people peaceably to assemble and disseminate speech that is not hateful or threatening shall not be infringed. The right of oppressed peoples to petition the Government for a redress of grievances shall not be infringed.

2nd:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the military and law enforcement to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The right of private citizens to own firearms designated by the government to be appropriate for antique and/or sporting purposes only shall not be infringed.

4th:
The right of the people who have not been proven to belong to a hateful, discriminatory group or a group that is in ideological opposition to the government to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

No, it doesn't. Y'all merely need better reading comprehension.

Why don't you stick your head back up your asshole and smother yourself. Apparently the lack of oxygen from the last time didn't get the job done.

The Elitist Constitution Is Preached by Bootlicking Buttboys of the Bosses

Follow the money. The rich were too selfish and unpatriotic to finance an army, so they ordered the Framers to allow us cannon fodder to buy guns and train ourselves on how to use them.

Only a sissyboy traitor who worships the upper-class lowlife keeps trying to make us believe the Constitution is some divinely inspired gift to us, the people. Instead, it is a weapon of tyranny. If you don't believe in direct democracy, you've betrayed your ancestors, who emigrated here from the same kind of ruling structure you Constitutionazis and your millionaire masters have been forcing us to accept. Go back to the crumbling castles of Europe where you belong and lick the dust that the enemies of democracy always leave behind.

Let the States regulate guns

Just like Republicans want them to regulate Healthcare

Guns are in the Constitution, where does it mention medical care?

Promoting the general welfare includes healthcare for the least wealthy under our form of Capitalism, and it's natural rate of unemployment for the bottom line of capitalists. The general welfare is not the major welfare or common welfare.

"Sell the Sizzle, Not the Steak"

Don't be a childish idealist about COTUS. Grow up and follow the money. The rich owned all the newspapers, so they ordered their flunkies Madison, Hamilton, and Jay to write up a First Amendment that allowed them to peddle sensationalism so they could sell more newspapers. COTUS, your Sacred Cow, is a Golden Calf designed for the sole purpose of making the rich richer.

Ridiculous ^^^; simple explanations are the grist for and by simple minds.

To save us from heavy taxation?

you must be a troll. You can't be this stupid.

 

[danielpalos]

The First Amendment is already in rapid decay. Once that goes, the rest won't matter.

why do you believe that?

Just wanted to point this out separately:

1. Communists
2. Socialists
3. Antifa
4. BLM
5. NAACP
6. KKK
7. Neo-Nazis
8. The DNC

Anyone else?

No, it isn't. You would know that, if you had more than diversion, which is usually considered fallacy.

Another gross overreach of the General Welfare Clause, just like the Interstate Commerce Clause. This is how commies overthrow our government without firing a single shot.

So, what ISN'T covered in your Bizzaroland version of commerce under what you call the "Constitution" Food? Clothing? Shelter?

Ah. As we all know, we've raised a generation of young people to think that, when confronted with opposing views, they are justified in shutting it down. If that doesn't work, they are justified in shouting it down. If that doesn't work, they are justified in running to a safe space and hiding from it.

Enjoying freedom of expression is no longer an assumed privilege of living in the United States of America.

[rightwinger]

The second amendment is as archaic as the third amendment....it is no longer relevant in a modern society

Gun rights should be left to the individual states. Much like republicans want healthcare to be

If your state wants to allow you to have machine guns and RPGs....it is their choice
If they want only police officers to have guns....it is their choice
