I’d vote for a candidate who campaigned to repeal the Second Amendment.

    Thinking our gov hasn’t been updated means you’re not paying attention. There has been a ton of changes since the founding of the country.

            Lol the fuck you can’t, tons of amendments are constantly being circumvented. This is just plainly false.

                You’re point was to say no you can’t…then at the very end say well you can but.

                I was commenting on the first part. And no it doesn’t always require judicial capture for bad laws to be passed. Plenty of bipartisan shit gets sent through. It’s not like the patriot act was just allowed through by on the red team.

      Yes I’m aware we have had some amendments. Ending slavery. Allowing women to vote. Direct election of Senators.

      What about gerrymandering? Cap in the house leading to bad representation? The senate? I mean the senate still exists. States aren’t people like people pretended they were. So much has not changed.

        There are tons of laws that circumvent amendments already, why do you think we need straight up amendments to the constitution to get things done?
