  • The constitution is an living document. The founding fathers created it as something that changes with the times. As long as the law is amended to the constitution it can’t be ruiled unconstitutional because it IS a part of the constitution. It takes a 2/3rds majority to amend the constitution and the president has to sign off on it though I think the pres can be sidestepped with a super majority vote. Amendments can be removed too with enough votes. If congress and the president decided that our government wanted turn into a monarchy then they would need to amend a monarchy into the constitution and they’d have to vote on removing term limits from the constitution. If congress decided that every one has a right to a free Nintendo switch 2 then that could be amenended too and then every american would receive a Nintendo switch. Anything can be amended!

    Federal law isn’t part of the constitution and the supreme courts can rule any law unconstitutional of it violates any of the amenents. Abortion was never amended and thats why states can get away with outlawing abortion while other states can allow it.

    This system only works if the checks and balances are actually working and the laws are enforced. The founding fathers knew the system would break down one day and thats why we have the second amendment.

    I sat down every time and my teacher would get pissed. I finally told her that my grandpa fought in WWII for my right to protest and that shit her up real fast. I’m not going to pledge my aliegence to an inanimate object, I shouldn’t have to prove my love for my country with a pledge.







  • Around 2003 my mom found a funky CD player and gave it to me for my HiFi setup. It took forever to boot up, and it was heavy as shit, but it played CD’S! I never heard of CDi, but I had a feeling it the weird CD player was meant to do something more.

    Anyways it took too much space and weighed as much as a cinder block so I threw it outside in my dads scrap pile.

    Long story short my friend and I got bored one day and beat it with hammers. It wasn’t until the video game nerd covered it back in 07 that I realized what I had done lmao. Still wish I had it now that I collect vintage video games.
