[QUOTE="brazenbrown, post: 267999, member: 9007"] These types of injustices as you've described have been happening for along time with both parties...Precedent has been established. Rather than approaching this from an "intolerable evil" point of view maybe we can resolve it another way. I may be crazy but.... Perhaps it's time to revisit the constitution to bring it up to date with a renewed understanding that it will be held accountable? We need to include the best minds available, a distinguished group of people from all political sides, meeting with the approval of the people (US) to revise the constitution in current day language and standards. Then we the people get to vote on the finished product with only a 75% or better passing grade acceptable. Of course it cannot be changed in such a way to stray from what our fore-fathers originally put forth but only to update and reinforce our commitment to it for the 21st century and beyond. Once re-established with an emphasis on holding politicians accountable there will be no excuses and the penalties if they don't should be harsh (and part of the new language) because upholding the constitution is vital to our future more now then ever before. The whole renewing process is also a way to bring into focus what gets overlooked by our current and new generations of people who really have no idea about the constitution...The constitution is to many a history lesson in school and never really gets much thought after that. This could generate a new grassroots movement to effectively get people involved in something really worthwhile... Just a thought!! [/QUOTE]
