How the hell do those involve free speech? It's clear that you didn't read the article. So let me spell it out for you: American Civil War, WWI, WWII, freedom of speech restricted in all of those in multiple nations, sky did not fall.
Quote:You have *no fucking clue* if you don't understand that is without question. Every right wing *AND* left wing nut job in the country would go to war over that. There are already police departments that have warned the federal government that they will fire on them if they try to enforce *SIGNIFICANTLY* less severe measures. You may live in a nice little bubble, go ahead to the rural areas of the red states and ask all of those extremely well armed people what they would do.Really? The left-wing cares more about freedom of speech than the right. They obsess over it. BTW, if those police departments actually fire on federal marshals under Obama's administration, he'll just do nothing in the long term. If those police departments actually fire on federal marshals under any administration other than Obama's, there will be a repeat of Waco. Let me remind you that insurrections against the federal government are 0 for 4 (Whiskey Rebellion, Shay's Rebellion, American Civil War, Waco).
There is *NO* chance you would ever see 66% vote support on that measure, the only way you would pull it off is under martial law.
Quote:You stated that the constitution was not a sacred cow. Prohibition was added and then repealed over a very short period of time. Ending slavery was a fundamental change in human rights. You seriously come across as middle school in terms of your understanding of even the most basic sociology elements. I would just brush you off but shockingly ignorant voters- which you should be the poster child for- had fucked this world up so much someone has to do something to get them reading.Way to ignore the fact that the 13th Amendment did not repeal jack shit.
