For those few bitter clingers who still care, Happy Constitution Day. On this date in 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in Philadelphia. For those of us who cherish the Founding Fathers this is an important day. For those who despise free speech, armed citizens, and (gasp) The Electoral College, this is a day that they would like to see wiped away. This day would be replaced with GOVERNMENT PLANS FOR YOU. We bitter clingers prefer the proscription against government plans.
Kamala Harris outlines one of the many reasons why we love Trump:
Donald Trump has no plan for you.

The very idea that anyone in the government has plans for ME terrifies me. I hear, “Up against the wall, Citizen Williams.” That’s why bitter clingers like me celebrate The Constitution. We love living in a Constitutional Republic.
It's a constitutional republic, and your organization is full of pedophiles. https://t.co/j4qcm4Xb7y

I was today years old when I learned that the Constitutional Convention had a “Committee on Style”.
The Preamble was placed in the Constitution during the last days of the Constitutional Convention by the Committee on Style, which wrote its final draft, with Gouverneur Morris leading the effort. It was not proposed or discussed on the floor of the convention beforehand. The initial wording of the preamble did not refer to the people of the United States; rather, it referred to people of the various states, which was the norm.
That’s why The Preamble to The Constitution is so styling:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,[note 1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
What the heydoodle, let’s all sing it together:
Those old White men were freaking geniuses. This makes me so happy. But there is always a Debbie Downer:
Human rights campaign @HRC president says quiet part out loud:
“We can’t just worry about protecting democracy… we have to reimagine it”
“More revolutionary than what our founders put down on that little piece of paper”
Little piece of paper??

More revolutionary than individual rights? Individual rights is still pretty out there. Then there is Berkeley Dean Erwin Chemerinsky. Our Darleen wrote about him just over two weeks ago. The Dean wants to take a sledgehammer to The Constitution:
Where Potemkin Kamala’s catchphrase “What can be, unburdened by what has been” is bumpersticker platitude covering up a vapid intellect, leftwing Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of Berkeley Law School, embraces its Maoist emanations and wishes to unburden us of the Constitution.
Erwin is quite clear that in order to SaVE dEMoCraCy™ we must get rid of the Four Olds and that most definitely includes The Constitution.
Chemerinsky appeared on “Morning Joe” to discuss “increasingly problematic” constitutional provisions that he believed were “undermining democracy.” Chemerinsky cited the equal representation of states in the U.S. Senate and lifetime tenure for Supreme Court justices as provisions that could bring about secession during the interview that promoted his new book, “No Democracy Lasts Forever: How the Constitution Threatens the United States.”
“Choices that were made in adapting the Constitution have come to haunt us,” Chemerinsky told “Morning Joe” co-host Willie Geist. “The Electoral College increasingly is choosing the president who lost the popular vote. Two senators per state is undermining democracy. In the last session of Congress, there were 50 Democratic senators and 50 Republican senators, but the 50 Democratic senators represented 42 million people.”
These little egomaniacs all think they know better when they are not better. Celebrate your rights and individual liberties. Wrap yourself in The Constitution (hubba hubba) and be grateful.

jay savage says: The people who abhor the electoral college say it is because it doesn’t directly let the popular vote of citizens to select the President. But that was a purposeful decision by our founders because they wanted the states to select the President which is why we have a Republic.
But those who hate the electoral college celebrate the European “Parliamentary” system (which even some Marxist government say they employ). They call a “parliament” government a “democracy”. But it is NOT. People in a nation with a Parliament don’t vote for the President or PM. They vote for a representative in the Parliament who then negotiates with other parties to select the PM. So they are even more separated from selection by a majority of the population.
WKAIII says: Comrade Chemerinsky, et a., will never publicly debate their proposals against a studied Constitutionalist. I would love to see Tovarich up against a Jonathan Turley, Victor David Hansen or Alan Dershowitz. Hell, I’d take a swat at him myself. Such ravings are obvious symptoms of a brittle and vapid mentality.
Joe Rywelski says: Wrap yourself in the Declaration of Independence. Oh wait, you already have under Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, otherwise known as the “Equal Footing Doctrine” which makes each U.S. state beholden to the other’s “Enabling Act”, “Admissions Act” or, in the case of Washington D.C. the “Organic Act”. New Mexico’s Enabling act (and many states prior to, and ALL states admitted to the Union after New Mexico) requires the territory of New Mexico draft a constitution and form of government not “repugnant to. . . the Declaration of Independence”. Thus incorporating it into law by incorporation by reference. The Declaration is also de facto first listed in the “Organic Laws” of the United States in the “Front Matter” of the U.S. Code, and therefore made / reinforced as federal “law”, under 1 U.S.C 204(a), pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b.
Thus your Creator-Endowed “unalienable” “Rights” will outlive even the idea of America.
