Bet they wouldn't even recognize this government, and TJ as well as Patrick Henry would be calling for revolution.

Amendments are one thing, that's the plan. Change things if needed by amendment.
The BS comes from the laws that are "judged" to be constitutional but aren't and the regulations that pull an end run on the Constitution.
That's the big problem.

Considering we fought England because they took away our currency and wanted us to borrow it from a central bank... they would be opposed to the FED, income tax (which goes hand in hand with central banking).

Considering they were pretty much elitists and only about 6% of the country could vote, I'd say they wouldn't be too thrilled with
14th Defines citizenship, contains the Privileges or Immunities Clause, the Due Process Clause, the Equal Protection Clause, and deals with post-Civil War issues
15th Prohibits the denial of suffrage based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude
24th Prohibits the revocation of voting rights due to the non-payment of poll taxes
17th Establishes the direct election of United States Senators by popular vote
19th Establishes women's suffrage

The founders would be pissed that's for sure! Just think how Obama would treat them if they were still alive today. The founders would be hated by the liberals in Washington, that's for sure.

He probably wouldn't appreciate them telling him to go in kitchen and make them a sammich, if that's what you're getting at?
