Does anyone believe the constitution is flawed and should be rewritten? I'm worried about it.?
Excerpt: 4th paragraph down
But these changes were all relatively small, incremental, evolutionary. None are truly revolutionary, in the way the Constitution was to the Articles of Confederation. In fact, the **Constitution has no provision, directly, for full-scale change.*** There is, however, the concept of the Amendment Convention as noted in Article 5. The power or limits of such a convention are unknown because there has never been one. It is thought, however, that a Convention would be able to propose any change to the Constitution it decided to, including full replacement.

To all citizens, adding ammendments is one thing but to rewrite the constitution just should not happen. It's about to.

Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties. And not to Democrats alone do I make this appeal, but to all who love these great and true principles.

I didn't think anyone was going to give me the best laugh I've had in months, now my asthma has kicked up in high gear and I must use the inhaler, if I can stop laughing long enough....Anyone that knows granny knows I spoke up and did so in great length. Thanks for the memory of laughter.

Read the Constitution of the United States of America, learn it, memorize it and learn to appreciate it because by the time it's all over, a memory will be all we have to teach our children and grandchildren.

Hey Granny, thanks once again for the opportunity answer this question. I also have to believe with the "watchful occupier"!
I believe they make up these laws to help themselves...and we voted these bas*ards in, i think that's what really ticks me off more. They have all these secret meetings and all of these things they plan on doing would appall all of us. I seen a snipet of news, where one of our politicians said that very soon anyone between the ages of 18-25 will serve 3 months of duty...and there is so much more, but it would blow away people and everytime i tell someone, they call me a liar or i'm out of my mind. I've done the research and so have many others...and it's sickening.
Yes, they can keep amending, adding, or deleting from the constitution all they want. Were not going to be living by that very soon. There getting away from it more and more. The government is very very sneaky. I BELIEVE AFTER THEY BANKRUPT US, WE WILL BE GOING TO (POSSIBLY) A TEMPORARY CURRENCY CALLED THE AMERO BECAUSE THE VALUE OF OUR MONEY IS DOWN TO NOTHING...NOW REMEMBER, THEY SAY THIS WOULD ONLY BE A TEMPORARY CURRENCY...AND THEN, THEY TALK ABOUT THIS STATE I.D. CARD THAT EVERYONE, AND I SAY ALL OF US...THROUGHOUT THE WORLD...BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS GREAT IDEA OF BECOMING A ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT. CAN ANYONE SAY HITLER? THEY HAVE HUGE GLOBAL DATABANKS WITH EVERYONE'S INFORMATION ON IT...FROM THE SECOND YOU WERE BORN UNTIL NOW...AND THAT INCLUDES, ANY MARRIAGES, DIVORCES, MORTGAGES, CRIMES...YOU NAME IT, THEY GOT IT ON YOU! ONE DAY, THEY WILL NOT HAVE PAPER MONEY, THEY WANT TO HAVE YOUR MONEY PUT ON THIS STATE I.D. CARD JUST LIKE A CREDIT CARD YOU SCAN. MY GOD, ISN'T IT BAD ENOUGH, IN THE LICENSE PLATES...THEY HAVE WAYS OF TRACKING YOU DOWN, NOT TO MENTION ONSTAR, WHICH CAN LISTEN IN ON ANYTHING YOUR SAYING, AND YOUR CELL PHONES AREN'T SAFE EITHER, AS WELL AS THE SECURITY SYSTEM CALLED "ADT". WHAT HAVE WE COME TO? HAS ANYONE RESEARCHED ILLUMINATI? HAS ANYONE WENT TO YOUTUBE AND LOOKEDUP THE NAME "JOHN TODD"?
ALSO, GO TO INFOWARS.COM...FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE...PLEASE...DON'T TAKE MY WORD IT, PLEASE LOOK AND LISTEN FOR YOURSELF. THIS ISN'T MADE UP ....PLEASE LOOK FOR YOUR OWN WELFARE AND YOUR FAMILIES. WERE COMING TO A TIME WHERE OUR END WILL SOON BE COMING BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
Sorry to go on and on Granny....i had to say it! About what you were saying, i don't think the constitution is that flawed that we can't still live by it...they, the government choose not to...it's so much easier to make up new laws and things to fit the times that we live in now and for their own personal gain.
I LOVE THE ENDING OF THAT KALAMAZOO, MI SPEECH....GOD HELP US!
THANKS

No it would be fine if we actually used it. No federal reserve. No IRS.
The IRS tax code is completely unconstitutional.
" The Congress shall have power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises . . . but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States . . .
- United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers . . .
- United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3
No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.
- United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 9"
Just try and call them on it. The IRS should have been destroyed by the U.S citizens a long time ago.

I am a firm believer in the Constitution. Anyone who wants to have changes made is free to make their case to a member of Congress to have the proposal presented. That is what the amendment process is for. There is in my opinion no need for a wholesale change to the Constitution.

I don't think it's going to be rewritten, but I think there's going to be a lot of new laws.

it isn't flawed.it is just the perception of democrats that it is.unless it works in their favor like roe v wade.

I think Bush , Cheney and Karl Rove already did. They made it ok to hold you without fair trial and to torture you.
