It's almost like the constitution is already the law required to uphold the constitution

The power of the constitution is not in the paper that we memorize. Its in the supreme court. The constitution is NOT a living document, but the supreme court, with the sole power to uphold it, IS. You need to fortify your rights at the local level, because if we cant win any more elections, Democrats will pick all future Judges and the constitution cannot cast its own votes. The constitution will be re-interpreted to mean nothing in our lifetime. There is no such thing as too much redundancy for our freedom.

Antonin Scalia once said something profound. He mentioned that when asked, a lot of people would say that the Bill of Rights protects people's freedoms. He said that's wrong, and it's actually the checks & balances and what critics deride as "gridlock" that protects them. Without them, the whole Constitution is just a fancy piece of paper.

If Dems gain just 2 more Senate seats and/or if we don't gain 5+ seats in the House in 2 years, we will see this come to fruition. The filibuster will be dead and Dems will ram through every socialist's dream come true.
