As Twitchy reported, Democrat strategist Donna Brazile was ridiculed mightily on Twitter Sunday night when she tweeted a link to the Salon.com piece, “We need a new constitution: Here’s how we save American democracy from charlatans, loudmouths and the 1 percent.” While many assured Brazile she is all three of those things, others wisely insisted the United States doesn’t need a new constitution, but rather representatives who follow it.
Suppose we do need a new constitution? Just what would the #SalonConstitution look like? These tweeters gave it some thought.
