they won’t throw away the constitution; they’ll modify it and a whole range of laws and rules that will enable musk and a bunch of other things that will become permanent from now on.
Can’t modify the constitution without a convention, a constitutional convention needs 2/3 of the states to agree to the changes IIRC, that’s why there hasn’t been an amendment passed in a very long time.
Assuming they follow the rule of law, which they likely won’t.
that’s project 2025’s primary stated goal and it looks realistic right now since republicans already have the needful majorities in levers of government in all of the branches and the states.
the equal rights amendment was passed in 2020; so it’s definitely possible.
I’m pretty damn cynical but I’d be surprised if they could pull of a constitutional convention.
I actually think it’s more likely my state would secede than a constitutional convention being successful. Especially if we end up in a tariff war with Canada and Quebec hydro shuts off power to us…
