Can't Barry just change the Constitution with an executive order?
We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.

He has done a pretty good job of ignoring with that damn pen.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Also, I feel pretty confident when I say that there is no way the OP would have suggested the elimination of the Impeachment process if there were a conservative in office.

Seems pretty confident that there will never ever be another Republican in office.  And notice the, "by popular vote only" thing.....   :rotf: :rotf:
              

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

24. Sounds like the recipe foe a two-bit dictatorship

1. Judges don't enforce the law, they are part of the judiciary, not the executive branch.

You claim you don't want law enforcers -- the people who possess force of arms -- answerable to the electorate (Why?!?!) but appointed by independent bodies.

What bodies would these be? Where do they come from? What is the limit of their power? How are they removed from office? Which branch of government do they represent?

2a. Would leave people like Nixon in power 2b. could see a president removed by a political fad by low information voters (I know, I know, we don't have that problem in the US).

3. Considering your proposals in 1. and 2a. ...

NO! Whaddaya gonnado abowdit?

4. Only if you break-up large states so that all states have the same population.

5. No such body exists. See point 1. When politics are involved people get political.

It looks like you pretty much want to have a political landscape where you can rig the largest vote for yourself and then enforce your decrees with unaccountable thugs who guard a disarmed populace.

You're exactly the reason we have the constitution we do now.

Nuclear Unicorn needs to voluntarily leave the DUmp as it has become too rational to fit in or Nuclear Unicorn will soon be thrown out of the DUmp as it has become too rational to be accepted there.

Five stupid ideas, concocted by clueless spoiled children with no comprehension of the reasons, rationale, and history behind the rules formulated by their intellectual superiors so long ago.

High five.

Wow number three is very telling of just how backwards these people think. Instead of being concerned for the security and liberty of the people they want the state to be secure from the people. There was a reason he constitution limited the government and not the people and these idiots will happily reverse it and make us the servants to the government instead of the government being the servants of the people.

High five given.

Neighbor, your reading of the situation is dead-on.  H5.

NU is missing the primitive's point -

All these things need to be enacted NOW to keep their guys in office by force.

I wonder what makes them think that the President and Congress of NYC,Los Angeles and San Fransisco will actually throw any crumbs their way?

25. the amendment I would most like to see is a ban on all campaign donations and severe restrictions on

lobbying - an amendment that essentially removed money from politics


Obama would exempt unions from that amendment a nanosecond or two after passage.

The Donald primitive, along with his amendment toadies, need to decide of they are willing to die for their ideals.
