During an interview with Fox News to discuss his first 100 days as president, Trump denounced the constitutional system of checks and balances as “archaic.”

“It’s a very rough system. It’s an archaic system,” Trump said. “It’s really a bad thing for the country.”

That whole thing about not being able to be a King or a Dictator must really suck.

....he is right




You believe that checks and balances are bad and the constitution is archaic? How about you move to Russia? Putin is pretty much a one man show there.

Reince Priebus admits Trump administration has looked into changing the first amendment. Zig Heil Donald

Change the first amendment to what?

In practical terms the first amendment has been constantly changed.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Congress shall make no law?
How many laws are there against hate speech, racist speech, campaign finance, whistleblower laws, censoring and rating movies and t.v. and music and video games, yelling fire in theaters, can't protest taxes by not paying them but that's not covered by "free speech," being able to define which "religions" receive tax benefits and which ones don't "qualify," basically establishing which religions are religions and which aren't, creating acceptable "national" religions, how many statutes and laws are formed in practice when people aren't allowed to protest except in designated zones, "sovereign immunity" vs. government redress of grievances.

The first amendment has been so eroded, IMO, over the centuries now that it's just a meaningless hollow ideal people rally behind for what it represents in their imagination rather than its reality.

The first amendment has already been changed except directly taking pen to parchment.

Why would you have not wanted Obama supreme court person? Do you even know what the person Trump voted for stand for? Did you even know that those progressive judges through the 14 amendment due process clause selectively made binding upon the states the bill of rights. The founding father said the bill of rights was only for the federal government not the states. So much for the republicans founding father argument.
