Change the Constitution

Many liberals have talked about changing the Constitution to better allow them to usurp our rights. They want to change, or eliminate the First, and the Second Amendments. Some want to change other tenets, but these are the major ones. These Amendments need to remain the same. To amend, or eliminate the would allow a despot to “take over” and do as he/she pleases with us. What I propose is a change to eliminate one of the serious mistakes the Founders made when they wrote it. What my suggested change does is apply a PENALTY to legislatures and legislatures, at whatever level, if they make, or even TRY to make changes and pass laws that do not conform to the Constitution. The Founders thought it would be sufficient to embarrass them by reversing those laws that are unconstitutional. That’s not enough. There needs to be a PENALTY for even attempting to pass a law that does not conform to the Constitution.

Legislatures regularly pass such laws, and enforce them until the Supreme Court finally gets around to declaring them unconstitutional. Another change would allow people to challenge laws without having to spend a bunch of money so that this gap could be reduced. Currently, the only way the Supreme Court can get involved is after a suit has been filed, and has run through the lower courts. There needs to be a more direct path so that unconstitutional laws cannot ruin lives before being so declared. One such law is the RICO Laws, which are unconstitutional on their face. They are designed to deprive people with a lot of money of their rights, and trample on other’s rights to accomplish it. They have never been successfully challenged, and they need to be. The State of Virginia is planning an unconstitutional gun grab, and adding such a punishment might just inhibit such actions. (Virginia Mercury)
