Radical law professors’ NYT op-ed: Throw out the “broken” United States Constitution
August 25, 2022
In an op-ed written by two law professors from the “elite” institutions of Yale and Harvard and published by the New York Times, they referred to one of our founding documents, the United States Constitution, which has stood for over 175 years “broken” and “famously undemocratic,” claiming the document “stands in the way” of “real” freedom and democracy. …
In the essay published on Aug 19, titled “The Constitution is Broken and Should Not Be Reclaimed,” the two law professors—Ryan D. Doerfler of Harvard and Samuel Moyn of Yale—take the position that when liberals “lose in the Supreme Court,” they often blame justices for “misreading” the Constitution, however they claim in “reality,” “struggling over the Constitution has proved a dead end.”
They assert that as opposed to working to “reclaim” the Constitution, instead it was time to “reclaim America from constitutionalism,” using typical liberal talking points that claim the document is too old, calling it “some centuries-old text.” …
The law professors continue to take our Constitution to task, and claim that constitutions, “especially the broken one we have now” is stuck in the past and claim that because of that, it “aids the right” who tend to be originalists and therefore abide by “what it claims to be the original meaning of the past.” …
“It would be far better if liberal legislators could simply make a case for abortion and labor rights on their own merits without having to bother with the Constitution.”
In other words, they seem to believe that the country should be ruled by “feelings” instead of the underpinnings of our Constitution and in particular the bill of rights—natural law.
Indeed, the Constitution plays off the Declaration of Independence, which says that men have certain unalienable rights…life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These two law professors appear to disregard those tenets. …

One of the reasons that that some put down the Bible is that it is an even older document.
It should be noted that statements from many politicians, media types, and academia aside, the Constitution of the United States of America does not use the word democracy.
The USA is supposed to be a representative republic–and the government is supposed to have severely-limited powers.
Founding fathers of the USA, like James Madison, wanted to limit government power so citizens would have more freedom.
I remember seeing some pamphlet nearly 50 years ago that stated in the 1920s the US Army warned about democracy and that it led to mobocracy.
With the pro-abortionist upset with the USA Supreme Court, the idea to replace/eliminate the Constitution and/or to try to increase the number of States to change laws is an attempt by various ones to limit the rights and freedoms of others.
And in the case of abortion, the pro-abortionists do not believe that the unborn should have rights.
Now, notice something from the US Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men …
The unborn are alive and are entitled to stay that way. The right to life is supposed to be unalienable.
Related to abortion, we put out the following video:
Abortion, the US Constitution, and the Bible
On June 24, 2022, the United State Supreme Court overruled the 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion decision. Did the Court just take away a constitutional right? What does the US Declaration of Independence say about life and the purpose of government? Does human life begin at conception according to 95% of biologists surveyed? Does the Word of God teach that unborn humans are children? What does the Bible teach about the shedding of innocent blood? Are there biblical consequences for performing or condoning abortion? Dr. Thiel along with Steve Dupuie deals with the issues.

Now, to help protect free speech, the practice of religion, and LIMIT governmental power, James Madison was behind the Bill of Rights, which many in the USA now seem to oppose.
Here are the first 10 amendments to the Constitution of the USA, also known as the Bill of Rights:
The US Bill of Rights

Even though some are calling for the dissolution of the Constitution of the USA, the reality is that many who take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution do not believe in it.
Furthermore, many courts and government officials have negated at least aspects of the rights citizens of the USA are supposed to have.
The reality is the USA does not truly abide by its Constitution anymore. And its hypocrisy and tactics are being noticed by others (see also Isaiah 10:5-12, KJV).
There are many negative ramifications to what the USA has been doing.

This video provides quotes from the Bible showing how this is so. The USA is placing itself in a position to be taken over and its response to the allegations will make it easier for the Europeans to do so.
