You are suggesting this as though it is attractive to them... I don't think they care.

(can you imagine what a Constitution would look like if O-C, Mad Maxine, and Pelosi got to write it)
Where does this quote suggest tearing up the Constitution?

The word “attack” will soon join “racist” in the pile of words whose meaning was destroyed by humans.

Apparently *any* discussion of a politician in anything less than a flattering light is now an “attack”.

Grow up, people. Such silliness.

Don't forget about the word "sexist" having lost its meaning.

The Constitution does have Amendments. But since your argument is coming off so strong I could be wrong.

I don't think the American people are going to let some Democrat rear up a constitution which many of their forefathers fought and died for.

I am just surprised any sane US Politician would even suggest such a thing.

Exactly, Thomas Jefferson thought the dead should not rule the living and thought it should be rewritten every 20 years, James Madison thought the same thing. These idiots don't get it.
