The constitution is an living document. The founding fathers created it as something that changes with the times. As long as the law is amended to the constitution it can't be ruiled unconstitutional because it IS a part of the constitution. It takes a 2/3rds majority to amend the constitution and the president has to sign off on it though I think the pres can be sidestepped with a super majority vote. Amendments can be removed too with enough votes. If congress and the president decided that our government wanted turn into a monarchy then they would need to amend a monarchy into the constitution and they'd have to vote on removing term limits from the constitution. If congress decided that every one has a right to a free Nintendo switch 2 then that could be amenended too and then every american would receive a Nintendo switch. Anything can be amended!

Federal law isn't part of the constitution and the supreme courts can rule any law unconstitutional of it violates any of the amenents. Abortion was never amended and thats why states can get away with outlawing abortion while other states can allow it.

This system only works if the checks and balances are actually working and the laws are enforced. The founding fathers knew the system would break down one day and thats why we have the second amendment.

Politics attracts sociopaths and narricists who are only in it for the power. There was a guy named Steve Panky who ran for governor in Idaho a few yeaes ago and he was convicted of stalking and murdering a little girl back in the 80's. He had a decent shot at winning too. If he had won I don't think he would have been convicted.

Republicans are already ignoring constitutional amendments like separation of church and state with teachers having to teach the holy bible in Oklahoma. The right doesn't even need to rule something as unconstitutial the supreme court simply ignores them

The argument made for Trump being able to run for a 3rd term is that he didn't have two consecutive terms. The rule of law in this country is a joke. Nobody is held accountable for any crimes, if he runs nobody is going to stop him.

They had the best streaming service until Discovery merged with them. Changing the name along with removing and cancelling all the best shows was enough for me to unsub.

He will run and the supreme court wont shit about it by citing some bullshit legal ambiguity. Democrats in the house will whine and then say they can't do anything about it while waving small little signs to show their indifference.

He's too much of a boy scout to ever do that.

I sat down every time and my teacher would get pissed. I finally told her that my grandpa fought in WWII for my right to protest and that shit her up real fast. I'm not going to pledge my aliegence to an inanimate object, I shouldn't have to prove my love for my country with a pledge.
