A constitutional amendment to end the fuckery.

“An enhanced privacy amendment that incorporates the 4th’s limited protections and expands them to encompass what the Clown Court eliminated from the 14th and 4th, making bodily autonomy and consensual activities explicitly protected, along with updating the 4ths protections on seizures to encompass a digital networked world. “

The text needs some work .

I disagree. A right to privacy would have widespread support. Voltaire2 Jun 2022 #8

But yes we need that too.

Framed correctly a privacy amendment agrees with the ‘libertarian right’ faction of the Republican base.

This country was founded on the backs of slaves.

But I digress.

We need an amendment to make explicit what these clowns just abolished.

We cant get universal background on gun purchases...which has up to 90% approval...

The next ammendment will be to a new Constitution after a new government is formed. I have a better chance of growing a third eye than seeing an ammendment pass to the current system.

75% of STATES have to approve an ammendment.

There are no where close to enough sane states. Not even close.

It couldn't come close to passing either chamber - let alone ratification by 38 states.

Any traditional methods are dead.
