No, I said that you should put in blocks that prevent one team from being able to run rough-shod over the other.
By immediate, I mean solutions that, on passage, would completely solve the issue. In the meanwhile - while working to pass those solutions - I’d have no problem with stop-gap measures.
Long-term fixes:
- Anti-gerrymandering Constitutional Amendment
- Supermajority requirements restored in the Senate, Constitutional Amendment
- Anti-nepotistic pardons Constitutional Amendment
- Law to clarify the requirements for blocking pardons related to impeachments
- Count-down timer on Supreme Court appointments, Constitutional Amendment
- Make Attorney General a non-appointed, separate Federal election, Constitutional Amendment
I’d also recommend putting a 1 term limit on House members, with the ability to select a new Senator for their state, on the way out, an Amendment that lays out the process for selecting Electoral College candidates in a non-partisan manner, and a general larger process for the Electoral College in headhunting and promoting candidates for the Presidency, as well as taking on the impeachment power.
Now whether Newsom or any particular individual wants to take on that specific list, with those specific solutions, or have their own ideas about how to prevent one party or one individual from being able to flaunt his Civil or Constitutional duties, violate the Constitution without penalty, etc. I’m not particular fussed.
But when I don’t see any single movement or idea, when everyone’s real clear that this is an issue and, in fact, the prevailing issue of the day then I’m not seeing why I should put my trust in those people.
