Trump is Close to Rewriting the Constitution & You're Not In It! T Segal 40 Visningar • 2 år sedan

The Far right wants to rewrite the US constitution - you won't have any rights and the rich will be able to do whatever they want to you to make money.

But how can a Constitutional Convention, spearheaded by right-wing billionaires, aiming to embed corporate personhood and unlimited political spending even take place? Can Trump really pull it off?

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

It sounds to me like he's afraid of Trump doing bad things, and I'm curious. I don’t know how people get to that place. Hopefully—you're an excellent orator—could you explain it to me? What do you think they're afraid Trump is going to do, air quotes?

Well, it's not just Trump. There has been this movement, heavily funded by right-wing billionaires for the past couple of decades, to call a constitutional convention. They want to put into the Constitution that corporations are people and that bribing politicians is simply free speech.

Oh no, they did that. That’s called SCOTUS.

No, but that doesn’t mean it’s in the Constitution. Congress can still overrule the Supreme Court. Article 3, Section 2—look it up. But they can’t argue it on constitutional grounds.

How does the Constitution get amended?

Two-thirds of the House and Senate and three-quarters of the states have to agree to the amendment—or to a convention. One path to proposing an amendment, which is only the first step, is Congress proposing it, like you said, with a two-thirds vote.

The other way is if three-quarters of the states apply for a constitutional convention. Congress would then say, "Okay, let's talk about this," and the states discuss it. Anything that comes from that convention gets sent back to the states, just as if Congress had proposed it, and at that point, it requires three-quarters of the states to pass.

What I’m curious about is—what fascist tendency are they going to be able to get three-quarters of the states to agree on?

State legislatures are the ones involved, and more than 30 states have already requested a constitutional convention for different purposes.

Right. Exactly. Who gets to show up at that convention? Conservative legal folks argue that those state requests are legitimate under Article 5, and that they’ve reached the 34-state threshold. Therefore, we can have a convention.

A constitutional expert has never said that.

Well, have him talk to these people.

I’m just saying—I’m not a constitutional expert. I’m literally a national expert on this. This is the one thing in my life I can tell you with absolute certainty that I know. It’s not because I think I’m smart—it’s because I listen to other people.

I disagree with Lee about some stuff, but that’s my prerogative. I just don’t see how you’re going to convince people. I live in Washington State. Trump isn’t going to move us to do jack or squat.

According to these constitutional law guys, a second response isn’t even necessary. Congress can simply do this with a majority vote—not a two-thirds vote.

Jeff, thank you for the call.

(Lyrics):
[Intro]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

[Pre-Chorus]
Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more

[Chorus]
And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer with you

[Verse 2]
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine
I'm not dying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
We're not trying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

[Pre-Chorus]
So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know, oh

[Chorus]
It's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer with you

[Bridge]
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby comin' home from the bar (Oh)
Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)
And I scream, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
He looks up, grinnin' like a devil
[Chorus]
It's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer with you

[Outro]
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby comin' home from the bar (Oh)
Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)
And I scream, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
