The 14th Amendment is attached to a lot of important rights, not just birthright citizenship.

  1. Brown v. Board of Education - racial segregation,
  2. Loving v. Virginia - interracial marriage
  3. Obergefell v. Hodges - regarding same- sex marriage
  4. Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard - regarding race-based college admissions
  5. Disqualification from office for insurrection or rebellion ( wonder if anyone is guilty of this one)

People need to remember Roe v. Wade and all the zombie laws that kicked off. This will greatly impact everyone and he is trying to kill it.

The constitution will be removed

No need, this one amendment will change a lot. 13th and 15th have already been eroded. The klan wants to remove the guardrails put in after the civil war. To make america great again.

A lot of people decided Harris wasn't good enough. You've listed the buffet they've selected.

Democrats didnt run a good program. Centrist theme with "4 more years" of the same stuff.

Think how Biden started off. Lying about a stimulus check and then forgiving ppp loans. Letting the supreme court stand as is and his AG did nothing with Jan. 6.

The build back better plan should have been a massive awakening for Dems. Masaive support for infrastructure.

What did they do after that? Started to talk aboyt midterms and how they have to fix the boarder. Then Isreal came and the cemeted their legacy. "We will not change" should have been Harris's slogan.

Now you get all of that, plus constitutional amendment content as a bonus.

I voted for her but I also consume a lot of news. The average American doesn't. She lost her base when she decided to run around with Cheney and Clinton.

Her initial stance was anti big companies and billionaires until she talked to her brother -in- law. She stood for nothing but support me, I'm not him. However they should have charged and tried him.

I'm with you there.

I'more addressing the loud lemmings that did the whole performative bit.like she was the end of all.

Now we have a literal country ending risk on our hands.
