Is there anything fundamentally admirable about the U.S. Constitution?

Date: March 14th, 2017 8:52 PM Author: Judgmental floppy idiot It's literally a recipe for endless gridlock. We are less democratic than our European brothers because we can't influence the government in any meaningful way because voting districts are too large and POTUS's party never really controls Congress. What are the common people of Georgia or Wyoming going to do to influence their 2 Senators each? Are senators even elected democratically? I forget. There doesn't even need to be a popular vote for POTUS under the constitution. Let's bash this TTT governmentttal framework documenttt.

Fourth Amendment is pretty legit. |

Date: March 14th, 2017 9:16 PM Author: Massive Dead Sweet Tailpipe "free speech" was interpreted pretty narrowly until recent times. think of the alien and sedition acts, WWI sedition laws, obscenity laws, etc.
and the 4th amendment - lol, it doesn't really exist anymore, especially in the era of "parallel construction." |

Date: March 14th, 2017 9:18 PM Author: Mind-boggling aqua love of her life dingle berry It's the quality of the people which makes a successful society, not the political arrangements. (Eg, most "libertarians" would choose to live in socialist Scandinavia rather than laissez-faire Somalia; and Marxist libs would choose to live in Texas before Cuba.) So long as the franchise was limited to property-owning white males, the US was bound to be a success. The "Constitution" could have consisted solely of a large drawing of Ben Franklin's cock, and things would have turned out roughly the same. *The* only rule that matters is: "biology is the root; civilization is the flower." |

Date: March 14th, 2017 9:32 PM Author: internet-worthy shimmering sandwich sound barrier The constitution was designed to function in the context of a 2-party system wherein both parties are fundamentally centrist. It doesn't work when those 2 parties polarize into very divergent far-left and far-right groups (such as in the case of the tea party), if that happens, then you get gridlock and a non-functioning government.
