People are looking at this the wrong way

What do you think you could get 38 out of 50 states to agree on?

Again, I am talking about a possible future.

I don’t have specifics on what the amendments will be. But the premise that we will be stuck in today’s world is as ephemeral as the premise that things will change.

I didn’t say they won’t change, I said there won’t be any amendments. The Constitution will continue to be eroded and diminished.

@TheDoctorIsIn

That would depend on how you define “lib.”

But Democratic turnout is definitely not a constant.

The polar opposite of “con”.

Good point. On what does it depend?

[Ben_Natuf]

and i care about what he thinks… why? appeals to authority do not impress. maybe you need him to tell you what your opinion is, I don’t.

@Ben_Natuf

Roberts is a ■■■■■■■ politician in a black dress

Why do you say that?

[TheDoctorIsIn]

When you say there will be no more amendments, you are saying that the various factors that prevent a theoretical amendment from passing today will not change.

I am not comfortable making that statement.

@WuWei

That is a question for which many people are paid large amounts of money to try and figure out.

It’s a very complicated and difficult question.

[Ben_Natuf]

silly statement. He’s a ■■■■■■■ politician in a dress. making decisions based on what he thinks best for the court is not following the constitution or the law. Its politics. he is interested only in keeping the prestige (and therefor power) of the court in tact.

[tzu]

Doxology.

[Ben_Natuf]

irrelevant

Of substance. What do you think you can get the people of 38 out of 50 states to agree on? You think there is going to be some charismatic leader appear who will get us all behind one vision?

Right now? Nothing of substance.

@WuWei

I doubt it.

I have not run yet

[conan]

In today’s political environment would be worst time to do any amending IMO. Nor when government is one sided/party either.

[WuWei]

I would say in the case of the dems and given recent history the hierarchy would be:

1. Race
2. Gender
3. Global warming hoax
4. Basket of free ■■■■ promises
5. Sexual preference

Any intersectionality of course advances one up the scale.

Excluding of course the perception of being electable in a general.

[Ben_Natuf]

convention. not the normal process. bring the legislatures together.

Good, we agree

@TheDoctorIsIn

I doubt it.

Then what is going to change it?

[WuWei]

@Ben_Natuf

convention. not the normal process. bring the legislatures together.

That would be a horrible mistake.

[TheDoctorIsIn]

@WuWei

Then what is going to change it?

I have no idea. I can’t predict the future, other than to say things will change.

[Ben_Natuf]

possibly, but not with the right leadership. it would definitely be hard, the worst possible outcome imo is they would agree to nothing. which almost happened the first time.

@TheDoctorIsIn

@WuWei

I have no idea. I can’t predict the future, other than to say things will change.

And I have agreed the Constitution will continue to be diminished. We’re just paying lip service to it now.

Dragging the anchor across the bottom as it were. And pulling it up a link at a time every day.
