First things a Trump administration ought to do

[ifrtbttrflys]

Obviously, Trump should nominate Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court to fill the current vacancy. Then the Republican Congress should pass law, and Trump should enact it, that would cut down the Court justices to the original six: a Chief and 5 Associates, meaning that 4 current justices would either have to die or retire before another justice could be nominated. Then Congress should pass an Amendment enforcing a 2-term limit on Senators and a 5-term limit on Representatives, and send it to the States for ratification. That ought to shake up the federal government nicely to start off.

 

[Hypoxia]

You forgot The Wall and its accompanying war, the police sweeps leading to mass deportations, the demolition of the NY Times, Wash Post, ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN and other opposition media, the arrests of the Clinton and Obama teams and families, the giant gold--and-marble statue of The Donald to be erected atop the Washington Monument, and the closing of Literotica. Bye now.

PS: Oh yeah, he'll shut down NATO and give Europe to Putin. As if you care.

 

[Ms_Ann]

Maybe he should bom a babyfood factory just to let the World know he means business...or to distract from "business"...or whatever...

 

[BoyNextDoor]

"Lock Her Up!" is what the mob is chanting. I suspect that is what you all want, right?



ETA: Fuck you, you fascists who chanted that.

That would be so nice. Besides aren't they always talking about not fighting, no war, no guns, no reason to?

They need to greet Putin with hugs and drum circles.

Or they can pay us insane amounts of money.

Yea.

Equal treatment under the laws = fascism? Since when??

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Yea.

I meant, fuck due process. Let's have a mob decide what the rule of law is. Let's have seven congressional committees investigate and exonerate. But let's have a mob decide who should be locked up. Did I get it right?

Sure, as soon as a mob can run a prison.

There you go BB. You and the drunk uncle of the GB are giving each other a handy.

Oh well Bush did that with the PATRIOT act, Obama went full bore and used it to summarily execute citizens.

So...due process is like states rights...a joke.

I thought you were a fan of democracy and socialism??

You're forgetting about her being busted with shit gobs of stolen classified US Government documents on her private electronic devices. FBI came out and said it.

Also a bunch of immunity deals, pleading the fifth and FBI saying 'no charges because.........because reasons." =/= exoneration.

She needs to suffer the same fate as a GS1 or PVT that took classified government documents. She needs to be put on trial for stealing classified government shit.

Just like the PO2 who took a selfie in the wrong room, just like the LT who accidentally loaded maps on his private laptop, figured a generic delete was good and failed to report it.

She needs to pay for those 110 emails, that means prison.

And this is why I blame you. You.

In his first inaugural address, President Trump should lead the entire nation in redeclaring its independence from Leviathanian statism and reinstating its full, federal government reverence to individual liberty for all.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

 

[Ms_Ann]

He just told you if you were listening.

President Trump should persuade the Republican majorities in both the House and Senate to concur on an amendment to the Constitution repealing Amendment XVII's wording, "elected by the people thereof", replacing it with the Constitution's original wording, "chosen by the Legislature thereof."

This, for sure. Make senators accountable to state legislators which means they can be recalled at any time for any reason.

So you think 3/4 of the states would vote for that?

 

[ifrtbttrflys]

Before the states could vote to ratify it (let alone 3/4 of them actually ratifying it), either Congress or a Convention of the states would have to pass it as an Amendment by a 2/3 super majority. Given the currently corrupted partisan climate, and despite the Republican federal majority beginning January 20, I don't see that happening - yet. But, even right now the call for a Constitutional Convention of the states is just short of the required 34, so who knows what the near future may hold.

No matter. My concern isn't popularity, it's republican form of government principle. And I truly believe that the States and the People must passionately reclaim their original constitutional roles in serving as THE checks and balances on federal government if this Leviathan is ever again to be limited in practical, constitutional regard.

 

[Conager]

Not yet, but I can dream. Split California into two and one of them would vote for that. Split Texas into 5 States and four of them would vote for it.
