How are both of those issues demonstrably on "the right"? I'd be interested in how you define "the right" that brought you to this conclusion.
Quote:What's so "troubling" about improving the Constitution?
If you think abolishing the second amendment and curtailing the first is "improving" the Constitution then I worry for you. In any event, there is a process in pace to amend the Constitution, please avail yourself of it if possible.

No one mentioned amendments. I mentioned stated intentions. If you think curtailing the first and eliminating the second will ever pass the amendment process then you're insane. As I know you are not insane you know that won't happen. Thus, those advocating for it are advocating for radical, and implausible at best, action.
Quote:Especially the EC, which in itself isn't being used as it was intended when the amendment was written.
In your opinion. The EC isn't only a mechanism to prevent an unfit person from being elected POTUS. It is also a mechanism to provide states with lower populations political power they would otherwise lack.

Hopefully I helped you out above, no sarcasm intended. You are correct though, the CA machine has done many people wrong, and they are trying their level best to import their brand of politics to other states.
