More is at stake in this election than you might be aware. One item I’ve heard nobody discuss is the potential harm this election could do to the document we hold most dear to us; Our Constitution.
Should the Democrats win a majority 60% of both the Senate and House of Representatives and claim the presidency, it would virtually negate checks and balances with an already left leaning Supreme Court (Which is entirely possible). What is not being discussed is they not only would have a veto-proof super-majority, but also the power to hold a Constitutional Convention and transform that most supreme law of our land and to transform it to suit their own desires. This Democratic majority could render Republicans powerless to stop them.
How is this possible? It’s set forth in Article V of our Constitution:
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
Granted their alterations would also require ratifications of 3/4ths of the states. Democrats have already thought of this. That is why the DNC has so ernestly involved itself in supporting Democrat Governors and State legislatures and will continue to do so. As of the 2006 elections Democrats held 56% of the gubernatorial positions. 11 of those elections are currently up for grabs (6 Dem/5 Rep). However, state ratification of Constitutional changes may take several years. Once proposed changes passed a Constitutional Convention, proposed changes do not just, “go away” if they do not receive the 3/4 states needed to ratify. A later change in polical party in control of the state could return to the changes and ratify. There are no deadlines to the ratification process. Here is the list of Governor party affiliations following the 2006 election.
IMHO it is the intention of the DNC to radically change the make-up of this country. Could a single party change our country from a Republic to a Socialist nation?
Obama was very clear in a 2001 radio interview in another thread on this site that he does not like how our Constitution is worded. He has also been quite vocal in speaking out against Justices who interpret law according to our Constitution.
Our Supreme Court only has the power to interpret our Constitution as it is legislated. They cannot and would not be capable of declaring legislated changes to that document as un-Constitutional.
Can we trust the unchecked powers of an Obama, Pelosi, Reid triad?
This is the single most important vote of your entire lives. Possibly the most single important vote since this country was founded.
Every vote you cast for every candidate, from President, to Senate, to House of Representatives, To Governor, State Legislature, and even justices is more important than ever. How you vote next week will effect the future lives of every American for generations to come.
Don’t screw it up. Vote wisely.
