Dem Rep. Clyburn: ‘Not Too Sure' the Bill of Rights Would Pass Today
2019-09-09
[Breitbart] Sunday on MSNBC, House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) wondered if the Bill of Rights would pass in today’s "climate."

Clyburn said based off of conversations he has all the time, he believes there would be "strong support against the Bill of Rights" among people who would like to see many of the guarantees "uprooted."

"I really believe sincerely ‐ the climate that we’re in today ‐ if the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments of the United States Constitution, were put before the public today, I’m not too sure that we would hold onto the Bill of Rights," Clyburn declared during the interview with MSNBC. "Especially when I see what people are doing with the Second Amendment and no telling what they would do with the First Amendment."

MSNBC’s David Gura responded, "You really believe that? That’s a startling statement. You believe that?"

"Absolutely," Clyburn replied. "There would be a strong support against the Bill of Rights. Go through the Bill of Rights and I’ll tell you I run into people every day who would like to see so much of those guarantees uprooted."

#6  82nd? Nah. 75th Rangers training regiment is in the state and would be plenty effective at visiting some responsibility on CNN's seditious and lying disinformation factory and its commissars.

#5  The Bill of Rights tells the government what it can't do. Today's liberals would never have allowed it.

#4  I believe he is correct.

I also believe that it is good the founding fathers added it when they did (which at the time was hotly debated) so it can keep people like Clyburn from completely depriving us of those rights.

#3  If he doesn't like the Bill of Rights, he is free to submit amendments to the Constitution to remove them.

#2  They really wouldn't want to change the Bill of Rights while Trump is in office. "CNN isn't protected any more? Get me the commander of the 82nd Airborne."

#1  That's why it was passed by the founders - to stop people like Clyburn
