Anyone else get the feeling something's missing from the Constitution?

[DJCowboy]

Such as if our politicians are not doing their jobs and pussyfooting around with their dicks (and vaginas) in their hands that we should be able to have an emergency election where current reps cannot re-run and we elect new ones? I'm all for it

Nothing is missing from the Constitution but they have follow it!

 

[Will E Worm]

What is missing? They actually have to follow the Supreme Law of the land and they are not.

We must return to constitutional government, thereby re-establishing and re-claiming our government of, by, and for the people! Then the Constitution will once again be regarded as the Supreme Law of the Land and the American people will once again be grateful for the freedoms it protects.

Happy Constitution Day! Darrel Castle

To me, the biggest thing that's missing is the lack of proper English in the very first line in the Preamble:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union..."

In order to form a "more perfect union..."

MORE perfect

To quote Robert Wuhl:

"There's no such thing as more perfect. You're either perfect or you're not. So right off the bat, our country is based upon a grammatical fuck up."

And you wonder why the rest of the world laughs at us.....:dunno:

Bryan Garner, one of the leading authorities on American English grammar and usage, addressed this topic:
This general prohibition against using these words [uncomparable adjectives] in comparative senses (e.g. "absolutely impossible") should be tempered with reason.

It has exceptions. Good writers occasionally depart from the rule, but knowingly and purposefully. For example, the phrase more perfect appears in the U.S. Constitution.... One writer criticizes this phrase and suggests that it "should read 'to form a more nearly perfect Union.'" George J. Miller, "On Legal Style," 43 Ky. L.J. 235, 246 (1955).

Although the Constitution is not without stylistic blemishes, this probably isn't one of them, and the suggested edit seems pedantic.

Bryan A. Garner, Garner's Modern American Usage 19 (2003), s.v. adjectives (uncomaprable adjectives).

Who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

More people want to come to America than their country. :tongue:

As much as we all bitch about the country it is still one of the best to live in. Don't get me wrong, I love this country but our politicians have become a joke. Somehow it's somewhat still working. That's why I brought it up. I'm just sick of the fucking childish bickering among the parties

As I've said, I love my country but hate the government. As Winston Churchill said:

"Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried."

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Yeah, there's something missing from the Constitution, a section dealing with the separation of church and state. Nothing in there about that one.

 

[busenbust]

yep/ a pact with the Devil is what's missing /

[BlueBalls]

Since they decided to abolish the Three fifths compromise, I've always felt something was missing.

The page where it's written

'Don't be assholes'
