Fuck the US constitution
    #15858654 - 02/24/12 05:54 PM (11 years, 10 months ago)

That's right, you paulbots that think saying something is unconstitutional aren't welcome here. You think that following the constitution somehow leads to better results than something that is unconstitutional. You rely not on the merits of your assertion but on the power that the word "unconstitutional" has within the minds of those you wish to persuade.

The U.S. constitution isn't the word of god so why do people treat the constitution as if it is?

Oh no! Someone has transgressed our arbitrary rules!!! :courtjudge:

The federal government has too much power? How about the idea of the constitution having too much power? People can invoke the idea of constitutionality to fellow politicos and it is like Santorum invoking the idea of his bible and christian god.

Is there any real meaningful difference between a book written thousands of years ago that is full of shit and more recently written document that is equally full of shit?

Why do secular politicos feel completely justified in rallying around the constitution as if it were the word of god while at the same time decrying someone on the far right who wants to outlaw gay marraige or eliminate a woman's right to choose?

What would be so wrong if we pissed all over our current constitution and made a new one. Heck, I bet we could write a new constitution that isn't nearly as fucked as the one we have to deal with now.

it isn't arbitrary, it isn't the word of god and Paulbots are incapable of interpreting it.

We created a society and based it on arbitrary rules. Within that society, those rules become a reality. Therefore, in order to maintain the society, the rules must be protected.
They also prevented the people from being anally violated by the government. Or at least made the process much more difficult for the government.

So, like, they're important.

Oh cuz I thought you said that I wouldn't be able to write what I wrote without the U.S. constitution. Why not another constitution? I'm sure similar things are expressed everyday by people throughout the world. Please explain why the U.S. constitution is the SOLE reason for my freedom to express how much bullshit our constitution is and then I'll say you are right. As long as there is at least 1 other country that allows people to talk shit about the U.S. constitution your argument is full of it. Heck, I don't care if the U.S. constitution allows free speech. Plenty of other constitutions do that as well and there is no reason we couldn't write a better constitution right now than the one we have.

Ok Let's write a new constitution,

Article 1: Sucking Balls

All those within range of my words are obligated to perform fellatio on their pets.

Thanks to the wars on drugs and terror, it's considerably easier for the government to do so than it used to be.

I am from the states and I think our constitution is straight fucked. Heck, I'm studying U.S. constitutional law right now at law school in the good ol' US of A. I also think people that use arguments such as "that is unconstitutional" to support their agend are equally full of shit by appealing to an arbitrary set of rules similar to how religious people try to impose their views on others by appealing to the Truth contained in their religious texts.

Hence the need to throw the current piece of constitutional garbage away and start over with a new kickass one that is tailored to our current needs instead of the needs of rich white males from the last 1700's.

It sure is. But we had 200-ish years before they started getting really good at circumventing the constitution. More specifically, at convincing us to give up our constitutional rights.
Fear is the enemy of freedom. :sadyes:

It's really hard to argue for or against anything from a perspective of objective reality, though.
Like, the government is doing something that is clearly messed up or oppressive or privacy-violating or what-have-you.
If you point at it and declare, "That is wrong." You don't have a legal leg to stand on.
If you point at it and invoke your religion and the inalienable rights of man, you will be laughed at.

All we can really do is say, "Hey! You're breaking the agreed-upon rules!" It isn't fair and we know it. But the only way we can oppose it is with the Constitution.

If they did that, it could turn into a real horror show. In a perfect world, they would come up with something fair and equitable to all, but the world is far from perfect. The constitution isn't perfect, but it's the best we have so far.
