The Becker Report – October 2019

Beckerisms

Today’s Constitution

What would the US Constitution say if we amended it to reflect how it is currently implemented?

Article I would be amended to state that, “the Congress shall be impotent and cede all consequential decisions to the executive and judicial branches of the government. Additionally, all bills duly passed and signed into law shall be subject to veto or alteration per any federal judge’s discretion.” It would be further amended to repeal section 8 (enumerated powers) and replace it with, “the federal government has no limitations and can do anything they want for any reason or no reason.”
Article II would be amended to state that, “the President shall be subordinate to the Courts. All presidential decisions and authority shall be subject to veto or alteration per any federal judge’s discretion.”
Article III would be amended to state that, “the Courts shall be all powerful and shall rule by oligarchical decree with unbridled authority over the Constitution, Congress, President, States, and the People. The power of the Courts shall be unbridled, absolute, final, without question, and their direction shall be carried out by the Congress, President, States, and the People per the Court’s discretion and direction.” It would be further amended to state that, “in the absence of associate justices, the Chief Justice shall be the highest authority in the land and with absolute power.”
Article V would be amended to include the words, “Be afraid. Be very afraid.”
Article VI, Paragraph 2, would be amended to strike the words, “in pursuance thereof.” It would be further amended to state that, “regardless of constitutional authority, the laws and decrees of the federal government shall supersede and be superior to all laws and ordinances of the states, territories, and subdivisions thereof.”
First Amendment – Add paragraph as follows: “This amendment also applies to the states, territories, and subdivisions thereof. The Christian religion, prayers, writings, and symbols shall not be permitted on public property.” The freedom of the press shall be sacrosanct and shall not be infringed.
Second Amendment – Would be amended to strike the words, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
Ninth Amendment – Repealed
Tenth Amendment – Repealed
Fourteenth Amendment would be amended to state that, “Any and all allusions to, or illusions of, state’s rights are hereby repealed.” It would be further amended to state that, “the right to life does not apply to children until some period of time after birth to be determined by the mother and the Courts.”
New Amendment: No State or Territory has the right to self-determination or independence. No secession shall occur without the permission of the US Supreme Court.
New Amendment: This Constitution is a living breathing document. The words of this document have no meaning other than what the federal judges say the meanings are. Furthermore, this document may be amended by the Courts at any time per their discretion.

Conservative Amendment Wish List

New Amendment: The Constitution means what it says and is to be interpreted per its original intent.
New Amendment: The right to life shall apply to all persons beginning at fertilization and no human life may be taken without due process of law.

Liberal Amendment Wish List

The federal government may use any and all means necessary to confiscate any and all weapons, ammunition, and accessories not specifically authorized under federal law. No state, territory, nor local subdivision may authorize weapons ammunition, or accessories. Furthermore, they must cooperate with federal authorities to seize any and all weapons by any means necessary.”
Fourteenth Amendment would be amended to state that, “regardless of immigration status and regardless of cost, a woman’s right to free abortions is sacrosanct and shall not be infringed. Abortions include post birth executions until the age of the child that the mother decides and for any reason or no reason.”
