For someone claiming unalloyed fealty to the Constitution, Rick Perry sure does want to tinker with it. He’s called for repeal of the 16th and 17th Amendments, and he wants new ones to outlaw abortion and gay marriage.
This guy wants to take our founding document and tailor it to fit his personal whims. That should scare the living daylights out of any American.
Equally strange are his plans for the Supreme Court. He wants rolling term limits for Justices, and he wants to give Congress the power to overrule verdicts by a 2/3 vote. Both ideas are wretched, and both have been tried before.
