Droutma: “The real victim is going to be the Constitution if the right gets their way.”
Alwaysright: “You mean if the people get their way. Following the Constitution has gotten us here.”
Alwaysright isn’t right. If the Constitution was being honored, the Electoral College would have done their job, which was to prevent the election of a demonstrably incompetent, immoral, and arguably criminal person to the presidency. Merrick Garland would have at the very least had a vote on his nomination. The concentration of money and therefore political power in the hands of a very few at the expense of the many certainly contradicts the spirit of the Constitution.
The prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment would be honored. (The people who approved the language of the eighth amendment would not have approved of kidnapping children. At least, not white ones, and I thought we’d rather improved on that.)
