Which is why we need to get back to following the constitution so we don't go (moreso) "to shit"

Like, just the constitution? Because as a woman, I enjoy actually having rights.

The politicians have figured that out and are working on getting rid of that little problem

Well...the UK doesn't have an entrenched constitution, and we aren't doing THAT badly...

People are gonna call me an ignorant redneck 'merican for this, but, y'all are barely allowed to own guns at all. That's a failure. If the US government got SO bad that we had to overthrow it, we could, we have guns. Way to play into the stereotype me, say "y'all"...

If the government gets so bad? Yes because you and Willy with your rifless could totally take on military intelligence.

The advantage of pure numbers is something often overlooked. There are perhaps a million members of armed federal agencies? (That is, admittedly, just a guess, it could be higher or lower) For the sake of argument let's say it's 10 million armed federal employees and military personnel. Then we take the other 340 million Americans. Let's say less than a third of them are armed. That's still ten to one in the revolution's favor. On top of that how many military personnel might side with the revolution? It wouldn't even have to be enough to fight the battles, just enough that those left loyal to the government would have their structure and order compromised. Supposing the government we to go so far as to use, say, a nuclear weapon on it's own civilians, would other countries not spring to the assistance of the second American Revolution as we did for the Libyans and other recent revolutions? Or as France has done for us before?

But you need to remember that half of America is obeese, so right there we already have a disadvantage. Less man power, bigger targets. That's logic.

Wait wait wait. Before I go into this long thing, are you being sarcastic?

Yeah, but the constitution is only good as good as the judges on the supreme court. They decide whats against the constitution and whats not.They're wrong all the time and once they put down that gavel its case closed until there are new judges.

True. But if we never had the constitution we would have nothing to refer to for our rights, and people wouldn't put up a fight for rights they don't have. Like when they decided to tap our phones. Yeah, they went against the constitution but if we didn't have a constiution, it wouldn't really have even been in question if it was okay or not...if that makes sense ...

Even if the Constitution as we know it was never made, a similar list of rules would have popped up eventually.

Someone would have written it but the government would go "ha ha ha ha, we have complete control, no."

I do wonder what would have happened if they'd stuck with the Articles of Confederation, which left nearly all the power with the individual states......
