If you could introduce a Constitutional Amendment What would it be

[RightBehind]

LGBT is a protected class

We are not a Christian nation

No death penalty

No second amendment

Healthcare is a right

Are you insinuating that universal healthcare for all people is a bad thing while other countries have them? Yeah, I realize healthcare for all means higher taxes, but I'd rather have to pay higher taxes for healthcare and education than for another war or for corporate welfare, which we spend more on than social welfare.

The big hurdle with elected officials is that they might be influenced by these special interest groups to prevent it.

No death penalty

Healthcare is a right

Since when are LGBT people a class, I thought they were a sexual orientation or martial status. Secondly, I don't believe that we are a technically a Christian nation, that issue has already been resolved in the 1700's with the First Admendment. I do believe though that we technically can't say that we aren't a Christian Nation as a majority of US Citizens are Christians. No death penalty could happen but in this day, I think we could have it for the most dangerous a la The Boston Bombers, ISIS Members and other Terrorists. The No Second Admendment one is very dangerous, I believe, look at Nazi Germany, Mao's China and the Soviet Union which are some of the worst dictatorships on the face of the modern war, for the most part the right to own firearms was banned (besides the military). I agree with True Federalist on the Healthcare part. I feel like you got this information out of a Sanders speech or some Communist thing.

LGBT people can be discriminated against when it comes to being hired. They can be fired from their job for being gay. This, to me, is unacceptable and a constitutional amendment to protect them in the workplace is vital.

Through the First Amendment, yes, we are not a Christian nation. Conservatives don't get the memo as many of their talking points seems to imply they care more about Biblical law than Constitutional law. You have someone like Thomas who thinks that the federal government cannot establish a religion but the state can. In actuality, the Incorporation Doctrine means the Bill of Rights also applies to the states.

The death penalty is a lot more than just black and white what conservatives. People spend years on death row and are executed for crimes they did not commit. Executing an innocent person might be acceptable to you. It is not acceptable to me. Add in the fact that it's not fiscally responsible, not a deterrent and my belief that life without parole is a harsher punishment, I think we can live without it.

All I hear from conservatives in defense of the Second is that it's needed to protect yourselves from government tyranny. Really?

Where were the armed citizens under the Alien and Sedition Act with John Adams?

Where were the armed citizens when Lincoln suspended Habaes Corpus?

Where were the armed citizens when Wilson had the Sedition Act during his presidency?

Where were the armed citizens when FDR placed the Japanese in internment camps?

Where were the armed citizens when Bush 43 expanded government surveillance under the Patriot Act?

Where will the armed citizens be if wannabe war criminal Trump got his way and violated international law?


If healthcare is a right in other countries, I don't see why it can't be one here.

If healthcare is a right in other countries, I don't see why it can't be one here.

I agree that LGBT people shouldn't be discriminated against, I personally wouldn't but I don't think that people should be punished if they don't hire someone. But I also believe that people at FRC or Values Voters shouldn't have to hire LGBT people or pro-abortion people because it undermines their right of conscience. I think we both agree that a Jewish Group should be able to not hire a White Supremacist or Neo-Nazi.

I support Criminal Justice Reform, I think we should do a lot to reform our prisons, I agree with Senator Lee, Paul and Sanders on that issue. I didn't say that people that could be innocent should be killed. We should only kill people who are proven terrorists we can all agree that the Bombers were proven terrorists and I think they should be given the death penalty. But we shouldn't give lethal injection as it is too much money, I personally favor hanging or firing squad, because it is less money and more humane.

A problem that I have with the death penalty is that people argue it's a deterrent. Executing terrorists does not stop the breeding of terrorists. Lock them up forever and make sure they never see the light of day again.

Should people be punished just because they don't hire someone? If such a person doesn't have the merits or skillset, then of course not. If, however, a local business should face consequences for turning away an otherwise qualified candidate just because of sexual orientation, that I do not agree with.

Setting the Supreme Court at a constant number. Likely 9. I see no reason to sway from 9.

Adding to that, I also propose a timetable requiring a seat to be filled after it is vacant.

Setting the Supreme Court at a constant number. Likely 9. I see no reason to sway from 9.

I see every reason to increase the size to thirteen, and to allow for that size to change as needed.

What are your reasons for 13?

Here's what I'd lay out in terms of a Constitutional amendment for the Supreme Court.

Section 1: The Supreme Court shall be comprised of nine justices to determine the constitutionality of every law in which it reviews.

Section 2: In the event of death, retirement or removal from office via impeachment, the president shall not wait for a period exceeding 30 days to nominate a new justice for consideration.

Section 3: The Senate shall hear and vote on the nominated replacement, and shall wait no longer than 100 days to begin the procedure after the president has nominated someone.

Section 4: The vacancy shall not exceed a period longer than five months of when it became open.

Section 5: In the event the Senate does not confirm any presidential nomination, the president shall automatically appoint a judge during the next Congressional recess to serve along with the other justices up to 24 months. The Congress has the right to vote to confirm or ask the president for a new nominee at any time.

Section 6: The Congress shall have the power to enforce this amendment.

[RightBehind]

1. No war unless the U.S. is directly attacked or barring a 2/3 vote in both houses of Congress. This includes the wars that haven't actually been wars, like Afghanistan and Iraq.

2. Abolish judicial elections

3. Addition of Puerto Rico (providing they democratically allow for it) and the District of Columbia as states, with the congressional representation therein implied.

4.(This will never, ever, happen, but it's on my wishlist) Removal of the 2nd amendment.

5. Ending the death penalty.

6. Healthcare as a right.

7. Automatic registration of all citizens to vote

8. Term limits of 16 years for Supreme Court justices. In the event of a justice's death he/she is replaced by a nominee from the judiciary committee members of the party of whoever the president was who nominated the deceased justice. The replacement justice serves out the remainder of the deceased justice's term

9. Abolishing gerrymandering through impartial redistricting committees

10. Ending the standards by which treaties are U.S. law.

11. Corporate personhood is over, SuperPACs are illegal, and maximum contribution to a political campaign is $100 for the primary, and $100 for the general election. Every citizen gets a $100 tax credit for political donations, like they have in Oregon.

12. Minimum mandatory tax rate of 70% on marginal tax rates.

13. Maximum wages, although what amount I can't be certain of off the top of my head.

14. Abolition of the electoral college.

15. Abolish caucuses in primary elections, have mail in ballots in both the primaries and general in all states.

16. Mandatory voting in general election with a penalty of a small fine.

17. Instant-runoff voting in all elections, both statewide and federal.

1. I'm fine with this.
2. Not sure
3. Yes for Puerto Rico, DC returned to Maryland
4. Not gonna happen.
5. Both Old and New Testament give clear credence to the death penalty.
6. Keep government out of it
7. I'm open to this. But allow for ID to protect sanctity of the vote
8. There are similarities to the Liberty Amendments in this. Let's talk
9. If VRA districts are abolished as well. VRA districts are often the source of gerrymandering
10. Need to research this
11. Make the max 1,000$ and I'd support it
12.NO Income TAX
13. Market decides wages not government
14. NO!!! The Electoral College is part of preserving our Republic against absolute democracy (America is a Repubic)
15. Absolutely not. Let the states decide. (I'd go caucuses)
16. Government shouldn't be using financial threats to make citizens vote or having health insurance
17. Competition is good.

This is the problem with you. You are a dominionist. You think because the Old Testament and New Testament gives way to the death penalty that it should be legal? That's not how it's supposed to be. I also agree the second amendment should be abolished and that healthcare should be a right. The government in healthcare can't be worse than the way things are now. Simply put, healthcare is, and should be, a right.
