What bugs me about democrats and republicans is neither really cares about the constitution anymore. Both are guilty. There is a process when you want to add or subtract something from the constitution and so yes, the constitution is a living document, but not at the whim of some oligarchy. It’s called an amendment. Want to make abortion legal and deprive unborn children or the right to live, pass an amendment. Do you want to take money from some and give to others, pass and amendment. Stop having the oligarchy look into the “penumbra” of the constitution to do things that are clearly not spelled out in the constitution. Want to get rid of guns – amendment. The current circus is to pass laws or issue edicts under supposed powers and see what the supreme court feels like and damn the people. Who cares about lip service of protecting our republic or democracy when both parties only serve the oligarchy. The fact that neither party harps on this process tells you how broken things are – Let alone the political persecutions currently taking place. At this rate, we’ll be lucky to have country still intact in 10-15 years. It should be enough to make anyone wonder…
