When asked in an interview about the constitution, Beto O'Rourke responded:

Quote
Does this still work? Can an empire like ours with military presence in over 170 countries around the globe, with trading relationships . . . and security agreements in every continent, can it still be managed by the same principles that were set down 230-plus years ago?


For those not fully aware of the premise. Beto wants to subvert our Democratic system in favor of his selfish agenda by getting rid of the constitution.

This is a scary new trend among Democrats, to destroy the institutions that form the bedrock of our civilization. I hope the trend stops in its tracks and reverses because the consequences of such a movement will be bad. We already see the trouble that the 9th circuit court of appeals has caused.

or, to play devil's advocate, he could be in favor of a large package of amendments to the constitution.

for anyone without a pocket version there have been 27 already since it was ratified.

but sure, let's go with "he wants to burn it". a guy from texas touted as a fairly center Democrat compared to the other "frontrunners" such as Harris or Spartacuss.

those are some entirely reasonable conclusions you drew there, and it's VERY SCARY indeed.
i'm just wondering if it really matters since he will take away your guns and put you into fema camps anyway...

That's funny he never used the word amendment in any of his speech. Just an appeal to emotion and of ignoring the law.

Those elite democrats expecting people to know how you go about changing the constitution. We dont all have 6th grade educations! If he wants to reach across the isle he needs to talk slower!
