I'd vote for a candidate who campaigned to repeal the Second Amendment.

But how many in the last few decades? When was the last amendment?

Amendments don't really matter when laws are created constantly that circumvent them.

You can't circumvent the Constitution with a law. That's the point.

Only with judicial capture.

Lol the fuck you can't, tons of amendments are constantly being circumvented. This is just plainly false.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You should look up what judicial capture means.

You're point was to say no you can't....then at the very end say well you can but.

I was commenting on the first part. And no it doesn't always require judicial capture for bad laws to be passed. Plenty of bipartisan shit gets sent through. It's not like the patriot act was just allowed through by on the red team.
