I do not like the entirety of the 4th amendment. I am willing to give up a few Privacies/ Civil Liberties, if it thwarts one 9/11 plot.
we already lost this with the patriot act.
Quote:I think the 8th amendment should be redefined by popular vote what is cruel and unusual punishment
it was defined vague on purpose, so that it would not be limited, and up to the court to decide and interpret what was what.
Quote:The 11th amendment is ****, It is saying if you ahve a problem against the state you cant go over their head to Federal Court you have to go to state court... RYAN VS STATE... STATE with Decide????
it makes sense. The legislative branch makes the laws, and the judicial branch hears the trial. Two seperate entities by design.
Quote:I think the 12th amendment should be removed entirely, as teh electoral college has prove more than once they do not always cast their votes by the will of the constituency's
agreed.
Quote:I think the 14th amendment should be changed, Thats the one that made everyone vote equal (used to be black peoples only counted as 3/5ths of a vote.
changed? it should out right be removed, but if it's removed, than the constitution will still state 3/5ths so it needs to be in there to override the original text.

I think if it is deemed that a person is mooching off the system (Has section 8 housing food stamps 6 kids, but drives an Escalade) They should not have a full vote... Contribute, to society. (thats for any nationality)
most of 'them' don't vote any way.

I think the 18th amendment should be reinstated (prohibition) Alcohol NEVER does any good to a person so can it.... And I like Wine, I enjoy Football and beer.
you're crazy. lol
this will screw the economy so bad.
every bar you know, will close, killing the jobs of the bartenders, the owners, the lanldord who owns the property won't get rent, the distributor won't be able to pay for its beer trucks, budwiser will go out of business, and with it half of st louis is unemployed.... and the list goes on and on.
People say it was the stock market that brought on the depression, but really it all started with prohibition.
Frankly, it doesn't work.
liquor stores close here at 9pm.
It is EASIER for me to score heroin, coke, you name it after 9pm then to get a bottle of wine.
It will happen to alcohol too. Then, the war on alcohol will begin, fail, and waste more tax dollars.
Speaking of-- alcohol taxes are huge. So, all that revenue is GONE, which means more taxes from other things like gasoline, etc.
It can't be done, and anyone claiming it can be doesn't know anything about economics.
Quote:22nd amendment limiting president to 2 terms OR ten years (yes I said 10 years) I think so long as the man wants the job, so long as the popular vote wants him to keep doing that job, he should stay in that job.
The one problem with changing this is that the incumbent won't ever get replaced or have competition within his party.
As we sit now, i'd rather keep bush that elect hitlery or obama.... but i surely would take a gop candidate over bush.
