Many nations have constitutions but only one seem to recognize an inherent constant in human nature - that it is inherently corrupt and therefore, any governing power is predisposed to tyranny - and takes steps to check its excesses in government by placing a well-thought out system of checks & balances. It also has foresight to allow for amendments that are just and reasonable.

Professor Seidman may be smart but he is an unwise fool to want to throw off the restraints of the Constitution to yield to the caprise of a corrupt group of Chicagocrat politicians like Obama, Reid & Pelosi. He is also a shortsighted fool because Liberals won´t always have the upper hand & whatever supra-constitutional power like restricting speech and right to assemble peacefully can just as easily be turned against the Left.

I swore a "blood oath" to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL ENEMY´S, both foreign and domestic." I invite the "political left" to test me.......

#2, they already have. The U.S. Constitution has ceased to be a meaningful document.

DITTO....#2

And, on the first day the US Senate convenes Friday?,they review/may change their rules. So today Sens. Whitehouse,Merkley,Udall of NM & Cardin explained how they intend to change the filabuster rules and to change the rule which requires 60 votes to 51 votes. This is a serious thing folks and would make the Senate just like the House. A simple majority.We are losing the Constitution folkes.

We are willing to fight for the right of ALL opinions to be expressed in the marketplace of ideas and yet the left consistently suppresses dissenting opinions. One need not be a highly judgmental ´church lady´ to see who is on the side of truth and wisdom.

If The Constitution is repealed, do the Articles of Confederation go back in effect?

These guys said it best.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ...
The above quote has become known in recent years as ´Jefferson´s reset button,´ meaning that Jefferson and most of the Framers of the Constitution believed that since government--any government--has the tendency to become oppressive as time progresses, true patriots must be willing to engage in the tactic of last resort in order to preserve liberty.
That ´last resort,´ of course, is deadly force.
Americans in recent years have become too comfortable and satisfied in their ignorance to recognize that sentiment as one of the most cherished and truly American concepts we have. Most Americans may even be shocked to discover that Thomas Jefferson said such a thing and consider such a notion to be ´treasonous.´
Yet the Founders believed that traitors and tyrants have a penchant for slithering into positions in government unnoticed. There they engage in a covert, patient, and insidious course of action to gradually shift the government away from its core Constitutional principles.
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined." -- Patrick Henry, Virginia´s Ratification convention, 1788
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people´s minds." -- Samuel Adams
"I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." -- Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, September 23, 1800. Inscribed in the Jefferson Memorial.

I want an amendment that reads something like "Congress shall make no law which results in wealth redistribution." Alternatively, I would like an amendment that reads something like "Congress shall make no law which has any similarity to Karl Marx´s Communist Manifesto." If we had that second one, we could restore most of our freedoms lost simply because our system is far too similar to the communist manifesto (ever since Woodrow Wilson).

How may times have Obama & his CZars violated the constitution? They don´t have to repeal it... just ignore it.

Rather than a massive bloodbath, why don´t the Freedom seekers form a seperate nation out of the 23 states that want to secede?

Give the peeps 90 days to move from freedom states to slavery states... then lock the borders to anyone who isn´t bringing value to the new nation.

We need to do it soon... before there is no constitution & Supremes are useless.

The "ideas" of the Left and the Constitution are polar opposites. Of course the Left hates the Constitution - it always has, always will. Precisely why they have to constantly lie about their intentions and their supposed patriotism. On the Shiny Unicorn Road to totally enforced "equality", the Constitution is their immovable roadblock. They loathe it.

The problem is that Republicans do nothing more than shrug their shoulders now at violations and even grant the Left the sanction of "good intentions". A clear breach of Obama´s oath to "protect and defend" was his eye-popping appointment of Van Jones, an America-hating communist, to a position of power. Van Jones was shamed out of the appointment, but Obama - the real culprit - got off without a wrist slap. Incidents like this pile up, and before long violating the intent and/or letter of the Constitution is "the new normal" no longer calling for the tedious process of impeachment. One gets the feeling these days that if Obama decreed himself an automatic third and forth term, the GOP response would merely be "Gee, but, whatever!".

I do not view the willful and wanton shredding and circumventing of the US Constitution as "giving up" on it.
Big difference.
