Wags Wearing WigsAn idea worthy of consideration I'd say. I believe it would require a constitutional amendment though and that's a big deal that those in power from both parties would most certainly resist.
See how the 18th Century Constitution blocks progress? It should have been a temporary start-up document to be superseded by all subsequent legislation.
Imagine if the computer had a Constitution that said it was to be used for secretarial work, because that's all anybody thought it would be good for back at the beginning. Any advancement would have to have the approval of a nine-person tribunal or go through the long drawn-out process of getting amendment by the top brass at 50 major computer companies.
The Constitution takes away the voters' right to think for themselves. It is a self-appointed decision-maker. Our submissiveness to that Master carries over to all our other thinking; we have been set up to choose only between what is offered by the know-it-all media, few of which questioned the winner-take-all.
Disagree... If the amendment process is too much for your idea to overcome, perhaps it's not as great an idea as you think.
Pass on the 'subsequent legislation' idea. .
Constitutionazis
I don't have any respect for political bullies. You bootlickers are pathetically slavish to the ruling class's Constitution, so despite your smug, self-important tough-guy act, you really don't have any respect for yourselves. You call the will of the majority "mob rule" only so you can feel superior to the majority, because the 1% (who actually despise you) tell you you are. If you feel that way about your fellow Americans, that contempt leads to treason, as your infallible father-figure plutocrats have been committing for over 200 years.
Your logical fallacies aside, I still disagree with you.
A Republic Is an Elitist Hereditary Oligarchy
You bootlicking mind-slaves are so ignorant about logic that you probably think Begging the Question means "which leads to this question."
You really need a refresher in logical fallacies. And the history of tyranny.
Get thee to a library.
