2020 Election - Thread #5

Yes, I'm pretty unhappy with the situation. Democrats decided they would rather get short term gains than to defend the rule of law. As a result, we now have a precedent that attempting to overthrow the government from within is not grounds for impeachment. No conduct, at this point, is impeachable.

Well, unless you're black. People want to impeach the Vice President now, because she supported an organization that posted bail for some Black Lives Matter protesters. No, really. Senators Lindsay Graham and Ted Cruz have both expressed support for impeaching Kamala Harris, because they cannot see the difference between working inside the legal system and attempting to overthrow it.

At this point, it's time to call a second Constitutional Convention under Article V. Whatever we're doing, it's very much not working. I don't see much to lose from opening this can of worms, even though one of the worms is dissolution of the union. We at least need to have a full discussion about what kind of country we want to have, because as far as I can tell one side wants a Roman style constitutional dictatorship, and the other wants a constitutional republic.
