  1. Brian M Lucey is a moran paranoid lib.

 

  1. Gödel merely applied his well known logical paradox of self-referential statements to a meta situation: the US Constitution. The Constitution is not at fault; any and all legal documents that provide, within their four corners, a mechanism for amendment are similarly implicated, regardless of jurisdiction and, seemingly, irrespective of the language used.

 

  1. Constitutional amendment does not, however, operate as a closed system - numerous external factors, including real politik, the courts, and historical tradition serve to constrain the degree to which any proposed amendment might be acceptable.

 

  1. Gödel failed to take into account the role, politics, and internal constitutional governance of the States. Since the Federal authority does not impinge on the autonomy of the States to regulate their own internal affairs, except in specific and limited matters, the Federal authority lacks the ability to control or unduly influence internal state politics. This is a fundamental principle of Federalism, which Gödel appears not to have been taught in his citizenship classes.

 

  1. The chief threat to the US Constitution lies in: (1) the exercise of undue influence over individual state governance and elections by non governmental agents - serving to subvert republican governance principles and the rule of law within the states. This, if allowed to run its course, could result in movements to amend or replace the US Constitution by the actions of a requisite number of States acting in concert under the provisions of Article V; and (2) subversion of the independence of the judicial branch at State and/or Federal level, leading to novel interpretations that eventually bring the entire legal framework into disrepute.

 

Our present circumstances amply demonstrate that the weaknesses in our Republic lie in the seeming inability (or desire) to control subversion at the margins - in the states, in the judicial branches at many levels, and failing to restrain the corruption of process by money; all with the connivance of political parties.

 

The United States is not under threat from a single tyrannical figure that captures the Presidency, even if such a figure were to be accompanied by the entire legislature. It is under threat from consistent actions that erode integrity in public life and render embedded checks and balances essentially meaningless.
