Everything else is up for grabs, particularly:

> 1st Amendment (Gotta put those reporters in their place.)
> 4th Amendment (Privacy is overrated.)
> 14th Amendment (Enough with those anchor babies!)
> 19th Amendment (Can't let women vote if they just keep electing Dems!)
> 22nd Amendment (Trump wants term limits for Congress members.)

And that's just a start. Yet the GOPers still insist they're the ones who will "defend" the Constitution!
