President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Some MAGA fans think a pro-Trump rally outside the Atlanta jail is an FBI setup

 

There are too many people in this country, who don't know this, but also who think the Constitution is just The Bill of Rights and nothing more, not realizing that they're the first 10 of 27 changes to a document they think founded the country after being handed to the Founding Fathers by the Baby Jesus. I actually spoke to an Intro to Mass Comms class once in which the professor talked about the First Amendment as if it were part of the original document.

 

Good. Stay away. In fact, I have it on good authority that the 2024 election is going to be "stolen" so stay away from the polls, too.

 

The remark about Vivek being an amateur like Obama (who had more than a decade in elected office before Nov. '08....unlike Trump's zero seconds of public service in Nov. '16....did the GOP ever call him an amateur?) shows how deep the hurt they still feel over 44's election and re-election. Sad!

The Founding Fathers assumed the Constitution would continue to be amended as the world changed, not just get stuck in 1781 forever. It's supposed to be a living, breathing, evolving document. In fact, they added ten amendments right off the bat. It should have hundreds, if not thousands more by now.

Too bad politics and politicians are in charge of it.

 

Those amendments went through the House, then the Senate, and THEN the states for (approval). House approved 17. Senate only approved 12. And then states only approved 10.

I wonder how some of these amendments would do today if it took three-fourths of 50 states to ratify them.

 

That's because Chesebro filed for a speedy trial, which is a feature of Georgia law, and it has to apply to all 19 defendants unless they file to sever from the main case.

 

It'll be unbelievable.

That's kind of a semantic distinction since the Constitution was ratified with the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments) as part of the package. But you are factually correct.
