(15,035 posts)Republicans control the majority of states and would therefore control a Constitutional Convention. And at such a convention, there are no rules except for those passed by the majority. Our existing Constitution can be thrown out and the convention can start from scratch.
Given today's Republican Party, a new "Constitution" would probably include:
O America is a white, Christian, English speaking Country.
O Women are subservient to all men at all times.
O Only the ruling class may own unlimited guns and other weapons of choice.
O Elections are banned. Membership in the ruling class is by appointment.
And that's just for starters. Think about every horrible idea ever put forth by Republicans, and you can bet it would be included in their new "Constitution."
