Fantasies

and no pictures of naked men. Hey, it's Sunday.

I made a FB comment decrying universal suffrage and lo and behold, another commentor directed me to his FB page, which is full of his proposed Constitutional amendments.

Given the difficulty of amending the Constitution --thank God and the Framing Fathers-- this is usually a passtime for intellectuals and cranks, insofar as these are different categories. It's a narrow literary form requiring discipline. Which I am not in the mood for this morning.

But since I am an intellectual and a crank, I thought I'd just lay out in scattershot style some of the structural and legal changes I'd make if I were --contradictorially-- King of America. Just for an interim period, of course, until I had restored The Republic. And regardless of minor details like opposition, or unintended outcomes. Even reasonably foreseeable outcomes.


For starters and in no particular order:

Universal suffrage would go, for sure. Just as a talking point, I'd try limiting the franchise to male citizens who had done military service and/or were married, with perhaps different levels of voting power for owners and renters. Owners get 2 votes, renters 1.

All the anti-discrimination legislation would go, and all the pro-discrimination laws as well. End any Human Rights Commissions. Forbid the use of the words diversity, sensitivity, inclusion or multiculturalism. Kill the ADA.

Kehoe would be voided.

Term limits for Congress.

End no-fault divorce

End welfare for unwed mothers.

End anchor baby citizenship.

Drive out, by various means, illegal immigrants. Make it easy, for instance, to deport immediately any non-citizen who could not provide proof of legal presence. The same "due process" you get when you drive without a license.

Reform the immigration laws to shut down the Third World invasion and make the US prefer immigrants of European extraction.

Beef up 2nd amendment rights and freedom of association rights.

Make English the official language.

Segregate prisons by race (to end the epidemic of black on white prison rape).

Register all Muslims as agents of a foreign hostile power.

Forbid citizens from having or giving their children stupid names.

Differentiate "equality before the law" so that you could legally adapt to the naturally differing conditions of minor children and adults, men and women, citizens and non citizens.

Void Roe v Wade and return that issue to the States.

Alter the 9/11 memorials in NY and Pennsylvania to make it clear that these acts were done by Muslim jihadis in the name of Islam.

Restore Washingtons and Lincolns birthdays. MLK relegated to states.

Make a simple tax code that does not penalize enterprise.

Shred the Federal bureaucracy.

Pretty well void any legislation that Obama signed. And offer him exile in Nigeria, so he could dream of his father.
