America's Constitution is terrible. Let's throw it out and start over.

49. I am tending to agree with you.

The overall consensus above does too, that it would be too hard to replace the constitution.

So, how to amend it. That's rough, also. There we run into the problems we've been having lately with things as they are now, with the filibuster. That's what caught my eye in the article:

"Even with unified control of government, a party now only gets one big law per year through the reconciliation process. To actually govern in a way that would be normal for any other country, it takes unified control of government plus a Senate supermajority of 60 votes to get past the filibuster — something that has happened only three times since the Second World War. If Democrats take control of either the House or the Senate in 2018, we are likely in for even fiercer partisan combat and high-stakes standoffs."

When I read that, I thought how prophetic. Seems like what we're going through now. I've always honored and admired the Constitution, but with the Repugs fighting everything we try to do, how can we get anything done? We need to get rid of the filibuster, for sure.
