Awful! It is up to the American people to vote the Left out of office in 2022 and 2024.

The Constitution is ‘kind of trash,’ reporter says
ADVERTISEMENTBy Washington Examiner, March 4, 2022
The Constitution, which was written by “slavers and colonists,” is “kind of trash,” according to one reporter.
Elie Mystal, author and justice correspondent for the Nation, criticized the Constitution when asked whether the purpose of his new book, Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution, was to trash the governing document.
“It’s certainly not sacred. Let’s start there,” Mystal told Ana Navarro during a segment on The View. “The Constitution is kind of trash.”
“It was written by slavers and colonists and white people who were willing to make deals with slavers and colonists,” Mystal said. “They didn’t ask anybody who looked like me what they thought about the Constitution.”
ADVERTISEMENTAfter joking about what a conversation like that would’ve looked like, Mystal went on to say that the document “was written without the consent of black and brown people in this country and without the consent of women in this country.”
“If that is the starting point, the very least we can do is ignore what those slavers and colonists and misogynists thought and interpret the Constitution in a way that makes sense for our modern world,” Mystal said

When asked by host Joy Behar whether he wanted to rewrite the Constitution, Mystal jokingly said he could “rewrite parts of it in a tweet.”
“The problem with the amendment process is that in American history, there have been 115 people allowed to interpret what the amendments mean, [and] 108 of them have been white,” Mystal said when asked whether amendments could impose preferred policy initiativies, such as term limits for Supreme Court justices.
The Constitution has come under scrutiny from many on the Left who question the legitimacy of a document authored by white men. One law professor called for a “redo” of the First Amendment in December 2021, and last September, the National Archives Records Administration placed a “harmful language alert” on the founding document.
