I exaggerated. But very few people bother to say it should be revoked/amended compared to the number that just don't care.
Edit: interesting article, but he is not claiming that his preferred policies are unconstitutional, and that we should change the Constitution to allow them. He is saying that they are already constitutional, and we should update the amendment to more closely match his interpretation.
That doesn't require any courage. It's just another way of saying "I'm right; let's update the text to say so."
- maxerickson 10y agoWhy does it have to be courageous? It's an acknowledgement of where the law needs to be fixed. That's advocating for gun control in the constitution.
- jeffdavis 10y agoNo, because he's also saying that it's already constitutional, and he just wants to add the text to end arguments against him. It doesn't have to be courageous. But it's not a counterexample to my point that people don't care what the Constitution says -- they only care about their policies and conveniently find that the Constitution allows them.
