Thats my point. There is nothing in the constituion that prevents criminals from running? Does that not sound like this issue needs to be addressed?
I think the GOP could have prevented this by just telling him to go home but yeah, I think we need to find a way to block effsticks from running. They didn't, the GOP nominated him and nobody sued to stop him and I think it could have been done, but the case would probably never end and it wouldn't have stopped him.
Occasionally, I wonder about living somewhere else (preferably not halfway around the planet) and I know people who have moved from the US but I can't think of many places that don't limit freedoms, have unrest and other problems that make them "a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there" scenario, for many reasons. The problem with the US providing so many freedoms is that so many abuse them, the Criminal Justice System and the courts are doing a really shitty job of dealing with them. We have debated guns, access to them and the a$$holes who kill more than 15K people every year- a lot of them should have been off of the streets before they killed, but as it stands, they're supposed to be guaranteed a speedy trial, so a lot of them are released and fitted with ankle monitors, which many cut off. I think the definition of 'speedy trial' needs to be changed and that would require a change to the 6th Amendment- we have too many turds to let them roam freely after committing violent crimes.
Drafting and changing Amendments requires a Constitutional Convention and with the mob in office now, I don't see that happening at all, going well, or not taking many years.
