Why not? Owebummer has...

 

[DC_Vol]

Alright, Louis. First amendment is now abolished. Now off to the gallows.

 

[allvol123]

What's the difference. That thing was written years ago.

Interesting spelling.

 

[PKT_VOL]

He would have a valid point if the Constitution was a dead document. It is a living document which can be amended at any time.

Looks like some on the left aren’t giving up on this idea.

How do people take this seriously?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

I'm in 100% support of the Bill of Rights.

Amendments XI through XXVII? Not so much. There are several duds scattered in between.

You took that tweet as a call for amendments?

Three fourths of the states is a hell of a lot

I hear a lot of folks are leaving Venezuela and no constitution there, so they have plenty of room (food choices may be limited).

I'm guessing the Gravel Institute is okay with that part of the Constitution until they get it changed
