Please... calling it a failure because it's under stress is total hyperbole. It's the longest running Constitution. That's hardly a failure.
no it's not hyperbole at all. it just hasn't been tested all these years. now it is, and it is showing GLARING problems with accountability. trump is showing single handedly that any one man who has power can fucking do whatever he wants. especially if he holds both chambers. and scotus. jesus, it's frightening how easy it seems to corrupt the longest running constitution.

Agreed left unchecked this could be the beginning of the end of Democracy as we know it ..

Just saying - longest running doesn't necessarily mean the best. Our Constitution is essentially antiquated and retired but international standards. Canada's Constitution is the new model.

As far as I can tell ... when you lose a historically winnable election because you ignored the facts of the race...and then you complain about the electoral college and 2 senators per state and talk of changing the system and claiming it’s unfair...
you come across as a butthurt craybaby.
But of course trump is worse so none of that matters.
Yes, people who want a more representational democracy are a bunch of butthurt crybabys.
It makes perfect sense that a state that has a population of 1 million has the same power in the senate as a state with the population as 40 million.
Do any of you understand the concept of American Government? I think you all need a civics beginner level course.
Bicameral legislature - one representative (the House), and one equal by State (Senate) to ensure a single state does not have an overwhelming influence. It's a very good check and balance within the legislature. If you make the Senate representative, you might as well abolish it.
I won't go into the reasons why this is genius (And it has nothing to do with the fact that Republicans control the Senate as that hasn't always been the case). But, it is.
the system is a failure.
we have a president that has committed crimes and we cannot hold him responsible or punish him. we do not have republic or a democracy. we have the beginning of a monarchy.
I think it's pre-emptive to say that the system is a failure until a failure to remove him from office. What would be fair to say at this point is that the due process established takes too long to deliver accountability.
Bear in mind, the reason that this isn't deemed a constitutional crisis at this point is because there is a due process which is being pursued as we speak. That's impeachment followed by the subsequent vote by the Senate. If and when it fails there, then it's a visible failure.
the system isnt a failure, its the people working in it that are failing......

That's right. At it's core, the system is dependent on the ethics and the integrity of the members of government. It's only as strong as they are. It's being stressed right now, for sure.

It’s not even that. Please don’t conflate the two
It's impossible to separate the members of gov't from the Constitution. They are completely intertwined and connected. In this case, the whistleblower did their duty. As did the staff that testified. The Dems are doing their diligence as well. Now the Republican Senators must do their duty for the system to work properly. Mickey is dead on.

yes. they want a monarchy where the president is protected at all costs, that is not anywhere in the constitution. if it is not working, it needs to be blown up and fixed. it is failing right in front of our eyes. the entire world can see it.
