Yeah I expected as much. Democracy died on Jan 20th

@GerOttman So is 2A.

@Longpatrol And so is 1A

@GerOttman An amendment to the Constitution IS part of it.

@Longpatrol So repeal it...

@GerOttman If we start doing that, we'll

Elect national leaders by the popular vote.

Change the Senate to use a 2/3 or 3/4 majority to confirm nominees. (Good-bye marginal/extreme candidates.)

Require the Senate to act upon Presidential nominees (get rid of the Majority Leader's pocket veto)

Set the national vote day as a holiday, and pull power over voting back to thr Federal government alone, with guarantees of mail-in voting, and severe & automatic penalties for election interference.

Clarify impeachment norms.

And make sure that a 10% vote by the members of a house of Congress will discharge a bill to the floor and expedite it for open and full debate, with no tabling or other delay or killing it until every member has been heard, with no "yielding one's time" to a different member.

Limit the power of the Pardon.

Limit the ability of a President to allow non-secure individuals to access national secrets.

Clarify automatic impeachment of the Executive, meaning of insurrection, and treason [asking a foreign power for help in (say) elections].

Force real ethics with meaningful enforcement upon the Court.

Clarify the Court's role in a way to exclude Citizens United-style decisions which impermissibly restructure the Constitution.

Add a duty to the truth as a requirement and oath for all Government service, and news outlets.

@SomeMichGuy Hey, go for it. Get the votes and it's all yours. That's the beauty of our glorious republic and the flag for which it stands!

@Northwest hey buddy! I know you are but what am I?

@SomeMichGuy until you repeal it, then it isnt. although I guess the prohibition amendment is still there, there's just another one that nullified it. kind of a paradox kind of deal maybe.

@GerOttman

Repeal what?

@SomeMichGuy an amendment...

@GerOttman Oh, so now amendments ARE important?

Do you actually have a cogent, coherent point?

@SomeMichGuy only until they are not. one dimensional thinking is not going to be very useful in this context.

@GerOttman An amendment is part of the Constitution with the full power and legitimacy as any other section of the Constitution.

@sarabee1995

@GerOttman Yes. And? Your point?

Amendments get proposed, debated, passed, and then submitted to the States for approvals. This is how the system works.

The Prohibition amendment you quoted above passed and became the law of the land.

Then a subsequent amendment passed eliminating this one.

@GerOttman Thinking at all is good in this context.

You said stuff that was just wrong.

And now you are trying to say that amendments just go away? lol

@sarabee1995 so it's still valid and enforceable or not?

@GerOttman If you could read with comprehension, you'd have no question.

Your local school, library, or junior college likely has adult reading resources. Having that problem is not shameful; not correcting it‐-THAT is...

@SomeMichGuy your babbling, take a deep breath, compose your thoughts, get back to me!

@GerOttman lmao

Deflection again? Tut tut, for shame! You already tried to cast yourself as the babbler, so embrace your self-proclaimed rôle!

But you should truly read the Constitution, and Madison's notes on the convention.

@SomeMichGuy well that's going to take a while. And then there's the whole Guatemalan situation to deal with. tell you what, you keep ranting like a maniac and ill keep being amused at your antics! Cool?

@GerOttman

@Northwest im just surprised you didn't jump on the per say thing, you're slipping. watch it!
