I would like to propose a new civilian honor award for our nation.

The award would replace the Medal of Freedom.

It would be named the "Constitution Star" and it would be available in two versions: The Presidential Constitution Star, and the Congressional Constitution Star.

The award would be granted for spectacularly meritorious service in the defense or advancement of the Constitution of the United States and the ideals of freedom, equity, unity and liberty embodied in that document.

The first two Congressional recipients would be Brian Sicknick (posthumous) and Eugene Goodman.

The first Presidential recipient would be Stacey Abrams.

They all deserve an honored place in the history of this Republic.

We are fighting for the life of our Constitution.

hopefully,
Bright

What's wrong with the Medal of Freedom? Other than Trump handing it out to sycophants? JustABozoOnThisBus Feb 2021 #3

Well intended, the Constitution Star would probably be awarded by some future Trump to some future Bannon, Miller, Kushner, etc.

The medal is not the problem. Corruption is the problem.

I'd guess Sicknick will receive an appropriate medal and maybe a promotion (to boost benefits to family).
