No doubt your street preachers always follow it up with "If you don't like the plain reading, amend it", too.

- SwellJoe 10y agoI fear I'm perpetually doomed to spend at least some of my time online talking past Constitutional scholars as they talk past me. We're simply not having the conversation you think we're having. I understand what you're saying; and have understood it every time you and dbcurtis have said it (in a variety of ways). I am disagreeing with the underlying premise of it. I am not disagreeing that the constitution has built-in mechanisms to change it. I am disagreeing with you that the government the constitution has defined has any ethical right to govern people who did not consent to it. It doesn't matter if it can theoretically be changed, it is premised on a notion I reject.
