I’ve heard that more and more in recent weeks. Fox News reported that several leading “scholars” at law schools around the country are standing up and declaring the constriction is a dead document created by a bunch of rich white slaveholders sometime back in ancient history.
- ” Bald white men in powdered whigs signing the Constitution. “
It’s not the Constitution that’s dead, it’s the two political parties. Hari Reed won’t let the Senate vote on any bills sent to them by the House. What we need is a Constitutional amendment that makes the Senate vote on all bills set to it by the House, and vice versa.
The system is broken because the Executive Branch doesn’t enforce the laws passed by Congress. Or, worse yet, enforces the law selectively to favor Obama’s Democrat base. We need a Constitutional amendment that forces the Chief Executive to enforce all laws equally, everywhere.
The Democrats hate the constitution because it won’t let illegal immigrants vote, it evokes a debt ceiling, and it blocks any more radical socialist programs like Obamacare.
The Republicans hate the constitution because it is the last viable institution to keep their wealthy base from sucking every last cent of wealth held by working American families and their estates.
The media shows the American people only gridlock. They lead us on, goad us to be dissatisfied with Washington to the point that we are so disgusted we’ll revoke the constitution in its entirety if that means fixing “the system.”
What we need is another major political party. The Democrats and Republicans have obliterated the Tea Party. They still blame everything on the Tea Party even though it’s been defunct for years now.
A three party system is the most unstable one. At the same time, like a three-legged stool, it can stand solid on any type of terrain. A two-legged system (which is the status quo now because the White House always sides with its party) is always unstable, no matter how level the playing field.
Thank God for the Constitution.
