I'm watching this latest tantrum by Democrats on the house floor and they are demanding a closing of "loopholes" even though the method they are supporting is Unconstitutional. They are claiming that their proposals are supported by 90% of the public. So I ask, if 90% of the public chooses to negate the Constitution should we just accept their proposal?
Since I'm currently on tapatalk I can't add the poll but it's a simple yes or no with an explanation.

IF? We are not a Democracy so it is not up to a public votes, and polls are useless and not the way to draw up laws or change government. Throw out the Constitution and I for one feel no legal obligation to follow any laws or mandates from the government from that point on, since after all they are no longer a legitimate government. Meaning we would be at War.
We the people are already at war with our government as seen by the shameful show of hatred for the Constitution being displayed live in CSPAN I live and in color right now... it's just not a hot war with blood spilled - YET.

Wait for it, it will get here sooner than any of us really want, but I see no possibility of it being avoided, things have gone too far down hill for us to change direction.
Frightening. Both parties politicians are pushing us toward this.
You know I had to read this post twice, and it took a while even after that, but I like it and yes I very much agree! :thumbs:If 90% of the public opposed the Constitution, that would mean we have done something wrong. The Constitution might be an obstacle to process, though it is designed to be amended. The real obstacle to progress is due process. Any decision that's unconstitutional would have to be ruled so in a court of law. Otherwise, it's not unconstitutional. I guess the law's innocent until proven guilty, too.

The constitutionality of what they're proposing is not black and white.

of course not thats not how things work
There was FACTUALLY a similar percentage opposed to interracial marriage, didn't matter because that's not how rights work.
LOL! Oh, the manufactured faux-outrage.
If THAT'S your criteria, we've been at war with the gov't since cons began wiping their collective asses with the USC with the War on Drugs and the destruction of the 4th Amendment.
Your fantasies about a domestic hot war duly noted.
In the particular circumstance we're discussing the Democrats have opposed proposals which afforded some level of due process because they wanted an outright prohibition on certain firearms transfers. They also are asking for a federal rule regarding transfers which happen entirely intrastate. That too is beyond the scope of the Constitution and a violation of the 10th Amendment. In a nutshell, they are seeking to pass laws which directly violate fundamental Constitutional protections.
Given the many and varied questionable "interpretations" by the Supreme Court over the years/decades/centuries I sometimes feel that the Constitution has already been overturned.I'm watching this latest tantrum by Democrats on the house floor and they are demanding a closing of "loopholes" even though the method they are supporting is Unconstitutional.
