RESTORE, re-read, and defend our Constitution, as written.
The constitution is fine the way it is. the politicians of the branches of government must obey the rule of law. changing the Constitutions is illegal and all laws made outside the powers delegated is unconstitutional acts, and has no authority.
100% Standing Ovation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
it’s not illegal to change the constitution, we have a process for that, it’s called the amendment process, we’ve done it 27 times. Not all of them were wise decisions.
Just about. There are two areas that need to be amended. I'm not sure where it is located. 1 is the mandatory extradition of people wanted in another state . The other is the wording that keeps felons off of the jury
@@nonyabeeswax7111 you heard this from someone else, it's not your knowledge to opinion, your a follower, your not a free thinker if you don't know exactly where it's written to what whoever told you to that needs changing. There were no about felons and voting laws when the constitution was written. I blame people like you not Trump
@@MrSchribler but I did read it myself. I just can't find where I read it .
If we make deals just to appease people we got it wrong
It’s laughable that anyone today would even consider this question. Someone needs to tell these people that they’re not smart enough to improve anything. Especially the constitution of the US.
I agree the Constitution we already have is more adequate. Problem is is that they're not following it instead of the government should should be implemented for sure. Sovereign people ain't the government they reside in their states.
THE 2022 SCOTUS IS FIRE, LADS!! 🔥🔥🔥
#TheBestIsYetToCome ✝️❤️🇺🇸
Worst thing we could do we'll just end up right back where we were before our country even existed
Or we turn into Nazi Germany.
...and what the Progressive notably omitted from the mix: not one utterance of the word corporation, nor of it's overwhelming dominance of political incentives shaping governance.
Joseph have no way okj
Yep o
At the same time those corporations pay so much in taxes and employ many people. In addition corporations and capitalism have donated more to world disasters monetarily than any other nation. Thanks to corporations
I am also very frustrated with this guy. He does not understand the relationship between symptom and root cause. Everything he talked about was a symptom. The root cause is that Americans expect Congress to take actions that they should not. They don't understand where legislation should be originating. The only laws Congress should be making are those necessary to ensure our rights are protected, keeping things consistent among the many states, and ensuring the overall thriving of the Union. Anything besides that, should be at the state level. If he wants to cure his symptoms, he should be petitioning state governments.
Congress is like the Fire Department. We pay them to a job that we hope they never have to do. The less they do, the better things are going. And yes it is difficult for things to progress at that level, which is by design. When they do things, they have an impact felt far and wide, and those things should not be so easy to do.
AND FOR GOD'S SAKE.... GIVING THE PRESIDENT MORE POWER IS NOT THE ANSWER. The answer is to stop asking Congress to do things they have no business doing. Stop allowing the Supreme Court decisions to be seen as sweeping legislation, and tell the president that his job is to sign constitutional laws, vito unconstitutional proposals, and feel with foreign leaders.
RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION!
LOVED THIS!! Thank you! God bless!
Restore. Do not mess with it, it's perfect.
RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION!!!!!
You mean ENFORCE IT? THAT IS THE OATH!💯👍🇺🇲
@@lorettasanchez1184 The Constitution has been amended 27 times through out its existence. For those like me, its not just about enforcing it, Its about enforcing the original vision and not changing it for pointless modern reasons.
an ineffective government is the ideal kind, our government is ineffective and slow by design. it is just one aspect that helps restrain a government from causing a total disaster for the people. Also it's only ineffective as the things it was never meant to be involved with, and you would only call it so if you expect a government to provide as a welfare state all kinds of services and such. Well our government was never even designed to collect taxes outside of fees for the few services it offered really, let alone being the massive hindering parasite to the productive capacity of of people everywhere on earth either directly or indirectly that it is today. It has expanded its power through economic controls that has allowed the government to bypass constitutional constraints and grow to effect nearly everything by regulation, restriction, fine, permitting, or fee, while getting the ability to pick and choose winners and losers in the economy for all the money it spends given to those in government who pick the contracts to spend on out of the private sector for everything the government needs or does.
Intelligence in a crazy world. Thank you
Loved the Progressive's speech except everything he said. 😜
Government doesn't need to do "these" things.God protect us from the evil "these"!
God gave us Free will.. He will allow us to go the way we choose for ourselves... therefore:. We have to STAND UP against all forms of Leftism, and restore Constitutionally limited Governance
@@captnhuffy Amen, Hallelujah !!!
I do not claim to be a political scholar, but have always graded high in reading and verbal comprehension. And i think the Stanford gentleman forgot what the discussion was about. He spoke eloquently and comprehensively about the lack of professional integrity of congress. But failed to provide a modicum reason for making changes to our constitution.
I was thinking the governors would elect the president and they could fire him if they thought he was doing a bad job. The system would depend on the invisible hand of the market place to solve economic problems. The government could not try to solve economic, social, or moral problems.
Back off any move to modify the original rights of our Constitution. "Thems fighting words"...
Thank you for exposing political corruption.
You left out the fourth option. Leave it alone.
Preserve, protect and defend
Great debate.. This is why censorship of speech is an impediment for the improvement of our Democracy .
this wasn’t a debate, more like 3 lectures. I agree censorship is wrong.
Republic. Yes we have Democratic functions, we are not a full on democracy though. And it pisses me off every time people blindly claim " our Democracy". You want to know the last country that threw around the word Democracy and used gun laws to disarm its citizens? Nazi GERMANY.
Hello, have they lost their marbles?Love it or leave it! 🇺🇸 Reinforce it!
Restore our duly won practice in knowledge , wisdom and generosity. K?
How about honor the Constitution? Every American military person who has ever died in battle died to defend the Constitution. By honoring the Constitution you honor their sacrifice.
Restore, all should read!
Effective government? Effective at what? Making yet more laws or restrictions? I prefer freedom of the people to come up with solutions
Fine the way it is.
RESTORE!
Restore
problem is when we modify the constitution we screw things up more....look at how we screwed up election of senators
The ideals by which men should live does not change with the times, nor does it change with technology.
RESTORE. As said, “the problem is not with the Constitution, the problem is us”. Now 5 years later after this presentation, and following the 2020 election results, we now know just how remarkable our founding fathers were 200+ years ago in creating this document.
For me the basic question how and who protect Constitution?
How about leave it the h alone?
Restore. Debate over.

D: None of the above

THE Blue Side wants eternal Power!
I get it, why they are negotiating by adding and/or removing things in each bill, but I also don't like that they lump it all together as I want to see how members vote on each item. I think what happens though is they stick each other's feet in the fire by saying, "ok, I'll give you this, if you give me that" is the reason they are lumped together, cause otherwise, they won't pass "this" unless they add "that". This is why I think Trump was such an amazing president cause he is very good at getting what he wants cause he is an expert negotiator as he can see what is important to the other person and uses his own power to either "threaten to take it away or help them attain it" (whatever the "it" may be). I would still like to gain a consensus of how people would vote on the items individually, and then only if necessary lump things as needed if this is the only way to make a deal.
P.S. I think this is also why we wouldn't be having these problems with Russia, as Trump would contact Putin and try to come up with a way we both are happy, but Trump always will come out ahead cause he knows how to "deal" that these are your 2 options either you agree to take my deal or this is what is going to happen (which is far less). It why Trump is the ultimate businessman
Our modern law makers have the attitude of rules for thee but not for me. They mostly allow themselves to be above the law with no real accountability. Since most legislators see the mutual destruction of themselves, we see all bark and no bite theater in congress. The swamp has rendered our country weak and almost to the bottom of the slippery slope. Now we can add voting issues that take away a major check and balance.
RESTORE... AND HOLD CRIMINALS IN OFFICE AND IN THE MASS OF CAREER GOVERNMENT WORKERS WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THERE POSITIONS.
Article I Legislative Branch
Section 10 Powers Denied States
Clause 1 Treaties, Coining Money, Impairing Contracts, etc.
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
I think there should be a test administered to people who want to "restore the Constitution" by asking them to name ONE state enforces "make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts"? As far as I know there is not even one which means all fifty states violate this very clear provision.
They say "it's a lot easier to break eggs than to put them back together" so all these "thinkers" need to provide some ideas on how to get the fifty states to enforce the provision!
In 1971 the US ended the gold standard…
@@Chiefskingdom58 Right, by a legislative action they broke the Constitution. Ummm, doesn't that mean it was illegal?
The founding father knew that America would grow to be as big or bigger than england... he knows history but he twisted it
A class in its own. Britain. like the kid across the street. The one mom told me to stay away from. Dad didn’t approve of the kids parents sat morning line-up of the cartoon mix starring Hoodwinkle the clown,
and so I stayed home making papier-mâché out of TV guides rather than dying young. Is it any different now? Yes, allowing your parents to hold crackpipes in front of the kid will bring me to want to GTF over to the kids house for sanctuary.
Remember every human being was born naked ignorant and upside down therefore anything is possible. In therefore it’s useful to recognize the pier, innocence nature of the baby humans being confused by Sick
culture and then adapting to it. It is Cleanup time in the large.Yes!
Really? A little dramatic aren't you honey? Just get over it and live your life. Seriously.
@@ChristaFree You are absolutely right on.
The better tradeoff instead of this wrongful FastTrack idea is the single subject. Use become federal law. Each voter must supply permanent public records for all votes. Every record must prove comprehension of all opposing arguments and consequences. Then supply why his vote is legally justified
D E F E N D ! ! !
But he has many great points.
RESTORE
Strong (Imperial) President??? I wonder what Terry thinks about that now since we got Brandon?
IT'S FINE JUST THE WAY IT IS , LEAVE IT ALONE.
restore or relocate
Our former First Lady has passed away. Ivhna Trump. I just heard it on the Radio.
She was not the First Lady… Melania Trump was the First Lady while President Trump was in office. Ivana was one of his former spouses.
Terry Moe has a Greta Van Susteren/Randy Travis "look" going on there.
Restore!!!
It seems to me that man, since the founding fathers, has never proved to be as intelligent as our founding fathers. It is very obvious that God had a big part of our constitution. When God is invited into a situation solution, the wisdom is far more powerful. That is why the constitution has turned out to be such an amazing workable document. I say leave it alone. We need to look at the changes that have been made and screwed up our living situation. We have lost power, equality and justice. In the beginning there were changes in man's prior ways of thinking and the constitution was the document that began that change. It is not the fault it was the solution!
Anthony Douglas Boutin freemason 💕 I love my country
I choose restore, the only legitimate cop toon of the 3.
Is this constitutional?
Bureaucratic nonsense and corruption
The more dysfunctional the legislature, the better.
But the problem with our legislature is that they are CORRUPT, not simply dysfunctional. They also have too much power to make omnibus bills. They should only be able to decide one issue at a time. Each of those issues should have a page limit and be in plain language. They should be very dysfunctional when making grandiose changes.
Well I think two men have already done it . Russell Jay Gould, David Wynn Miller. By way of correct grammar.
The Stanford speaker is right the representation is tied to their constituents but he says they no good at national policies , thats debatable , the elected representatives seems quite capable of making national policies especially sending tax money to foreign nations , funding undeclared wars , funding corporate socialism , also California , New York , Illinois , New Jersey are very well represented in congress and dictate national policies because they’re basically United by their ideology counter to the Constitution .
The constitution was written an should not be f with what so ever," we only got about just a scratch under 10yrs of living under the original constitution," until congress an the house startd changing thing around to benifit corporations an the lobbyist," an take are sovereignty away an changed are gov to a corporation under maritime law an taxation was mandated after the revolutionary war that we actually lost, cornwall jackson cut a deal with the brits at that × which put us under maratime law an the crowns taxation which is illegal "treason at it's highest level an still being propd up by both parties," it's been a party ever since on your tax dollar," but you don't get to participate," because your not in the club," gorge carllen.

With BIDEN in office this didn’t age well lol.
Don’t touch the Constitution. Seriously, it’s fine the way it is…
How about u so called scholars actually READ the constitution?
Wrong from the get go. We have an affective government. The problem is the effects of this very affective government......
This man ignores a huge chunk of reality.
He has a point about the president having a more direct role in legislation through fast-tracking. There is another aspect that he hasn't mentioned. A president cannot diffuse and dilute responsibility the way Congress does. It would be much easier to hold a single person accountable than trying to wrangle hundreds of representatives and senators.
No way. We can't increase the President's power. We need the balance of power always
@@godssara6758 you're right. It is an interesting but dangerous concept. Rather than giving the president more power, we should figure out ways to hold our Representatives and senators more personally accountable.
The only people who need more power are local governments. City first, then state!
Order if this guy's eating his words this for this president so-called President Biden
It's hilarious seeing these folks who think they are smarter than the Founding Fathers.
tall pushing for a problem
You don’t restore nothing we give you energy
The Stanford guy,
Wants to live in a Walmart.
Maybe he should be head of Walmarts merchandising
Booooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
what a joke.
Boo!!!
Wow. The third speaker is boring and just rambles on about nothing relevant to conference topic. What a waste of speaker time.
RESTORE!
