“If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposal rule?” Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), the committee’s top Democrat, asked Steiner.
“Under our proposed regulation, no,” Steiner replied.
We really need to stop saying shit like this.
The Constitution does not matter. Until conservatives, specifically Trump, are stopped, they are going to be fascists.
I’d put it differently. The Constitution is not self-enforcing. It doesn’t have magic powers. That’s why corrupt office-holders must be removed.
And if the corrective provisions to do that within the system are blocked, the people have to take appropriate and proportionate measures, as Jefferson and other founders wrote about.
That not a good reason to stop citing the constitution. The moment people stop doing that, then it’s completely over. It’s still beneficial to point it out so that people are genuinely aware. Also, federal judges have been shooting down Trump a lot recently. So yea, it does still matter.
We need to maintain the stance that the rules still exist and matter. They aren’t being enforced, but if we hold on to them we can demand they get enforced in the future
Exactly this. If there’s any chance to right this ship, the constitution has to be part of the core of it. Now that old document definitely needs updated, but saying the constitution doesn’t matter throws away all defense for the 1st and most important amendment. It’s already been trampled on in some states, hence the comments saying the constitution doesn’t matter, but conceding on the point of it mattering means conceding the fight.
It’s not protecting us, it’s a device to control us. The illusion of freedom let’s them dog walk us. Maybe J6 fund got vetoed, palestine was still flattened along with a bunch of school girls using our taxes.
So we’re supposed to not mention the constitution in order to stop conservatives? I would say make it make sense but it wouldn’t be possible for it to make sense.
