Considering the extreme partisanship shown by congress, and the extreme lack of truly qualified people that have run for presidency the last few elections I can't think of anybody that could be trusted with changing laws every few years, and I especially wouldn't want them to get their hands on any part of the Constitution. Well, MAYBE some state laws could be changed at a state level.

Exactly.

So since some are trying to undermine the constitution we should just throw up our hands and let them rewrite it officially?

They are doing it anyway by constantly writing new laws. So this argument is a moot point.

I also agree that all laws should have a sunset expiry date.
6 years is a bit short; maybe 10 or 15??
That directive should include everything on the constitution too!
What they also need to fix is the stupid two-tier law structure that you have.
One set of laws for the state and another set for the federal system.
WTF is that all about?? Just plain stupid and confusing.
Abolish all state laws and have a single set of laws that cover every state from coast to coast.
That would avoid all confusion - same laws no matter where you are in the US.
It would stop states trying to get around federal laws by making up their own.
If state laws were abolished, they would have no powers to make 'state' laws.
But.... nobody has the balls to make such radical changes in the US. Nobody.
Even if you found someone with enough gall, the senate or congress would stall it and kick it down the road forever more... for decades.

It's meant to be rewritten, that's why there is an amendment process laid out.

The Federal Government was created by a pact among the States and the People. ALL Federal authority is granted by the People and States. That is the only way to have any protection against a Federal tyranny.

As such, those states that wanted to seceded from the union before the civil war should have been allowed to.

I am not kidding.

And I do not want vadailia onions, I want real onions.

I am getting really close to looking for really good cold cuts. Like proscuto(sp) and a few other things. Some of this shit costs more than filet mignon, and I am looking or that as well. I got a slicer and slice it thin and put mushrooms, onions and cheese with it on a sandwich. The proscuto would get lettuce, tomato and onion. Well some kind of cheese of course.

"That view was taught at West Point until about 1850. "

And I still maintain that slavery would have been abolished soon anyway. Also remember that the abolition did not happen until TWO YEARS after the start of the civil war.

There were White families all over the south already helping escaped slaves to get up north, but then the Dred Scott decision fucked that all up, and Roger B. Taney who made that decision was a federal judge. Not a Confederate judge.

Taney was awarded that job for moving the funds of the US government to a private (foreign) bank after three other secretaries of the treasury refused to do so at the behest of the traitor President. I think it was Andrew Jackson.

What is not known to most people today is the changes in the monetary system at the time. There was already the tariff of abominations but this was much more, it undermined the solidity of the USD, and those southern states did not like that at all. Nobody was even talking about abolishing slavery at the time. With a supreme court ruling like that ? No fucking way.

But yes, they knew it was coming. It just did not come yet, but these old money people in the south, who were here literally before the government, saw what could happen. They were stupid to buy slaves of course but they had their mind on their money and their money on their mind.

And you might remember 1929 and 2008, but most people do not realize there have been hundreds of crashes in between. And every time the commoner loses money and big money gets richer.

Let me tell all the kids here how to bet the races. First of all, try to bet a smaller field. If there are only eight horses in the field instead of eleven, that is better. Don't read the racing forms, and don't go when it is crowded. You need to be able to get to that window fast.

You watch the board. It shows the odds for the next race. You will see odds that are ridiculous, 100:1 n shit. Those are the longshots. You bet four horses, I KNOW YOU CANNOT WIN THEM ALL, but mathematically it works out that you are more likely to make money. You take two of the front runners, like maybe #2 and #3. Then you watch the board right before post time. you have to keep your eye on this and make your bet as late as possible. You watch and see if the mid shots or longshots have their odds dropping like a rock. When that happens what it means is the big money is going on them. The big money IS big money because they know what the fuck they are doing and have alot more information than we do. In that way, you follow them.

But you have to bet like they do, wait until the window is about to close. They know when they bet fifty grand on a 22:1 shot the odds will drop. What we need here is for other people not to notice it in time. These assholes read the newspaper and place their bets without even looking at the board. And never bet a trifecta or quadfecta, you bet across the board. The minimum bet is $24 when you do it that way. Takes money to make money.

Here I am hijacking my own thread ! LOL

But now that I mention it, they got no right to regulate gambling, except to keep it hones. Nevada does that bigtime. Cheat at all in a casino it is a felony. And they got more cameras than England. They take this shit very seriously there. I guess they should.

But they are all about taxes n shit so I prefer a smoke filled room in the basement of a bar with a barmaid who brings down beers and sandwiches. And also doesn't say anything when we are smoking a joint. The good old days.
