There’s a serious flaw in the US constitution, but perhaps it’s the bit about the right to bear arms, not about the right to speak/write words

- neverartful 7y agoThere is a process for amending the constitution. If enough citizens feel it should be amended, it can be. It's happened a number of times in the past (although not recently). The big danger is in thinking "we don't like that process, let's circumvent it". Selective circumvention of the law and the constitution eventually will lead to anarchy.
