She thought the US constitution was read-only

It's been too long without an ammendment.

I know fully grown adults who think the constitution has never been altered, the ammendments were always there and "just what the founding fathers worked on after signing it and sending it to king George", and that any talk about congress changing things after the fact is just 'liberal propaganda" and at least one person, when asked why they think that, responded with "well I've never seen an Ammendment happen in my lifetime so obviously it doesn't happen."

Several of these adults are related, so I can see why multiple people in the same family might hold that belief, but the fact that I know MORE THAN ONE is insane to me.

I went to school in a non-religious school that was very much a religious area. Sex Ed was basically the scene in Mean Girls "If you have Sex you WILL GET PREGNANT and DIE"

It needs to be called out just how weird it is that US Senators like this don’t understand the very document they have sworn to uphold.

We are trying our best to vote this bitch out here in TN.

But I know also that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.

-Some stupid idiot who never read the Constitution, probably

You mean the US constitution wasn’t written by god and handed down by Jesus?

Funny how the people who scream "you can't change the second amendment" seem to be perfectly OK with nationalizing Christianity...which would violate the first amendment

Gotta get rid of that 2nd Amendment then as well don't we?

Eh, a rewrite is not the same as an edit.

If I start talking about rewriting our code base, I'm not asking to fix a big or add a new feature, I'm saying we need to scrap everything we've got and start again.

You'd also not be able to own guns, or have freedom or religion or speech. Look up the meaning of Amendment why don't you.

Literal Article V denialism. Almost like she's never read the document before.

Marsha Blackburn opposes the 2nd amendment.

Waiting for the chmod joke

Americans are so weird about the "constitution", like it's some sacred thing or some shit.

There is a person here on Lemmy that seriously believes if you turn the constitution upside down it magically turns into Latin and has secret messages.

So, yeah. Unfortunately I'm not surprised with this lady.
