Because we are too stupid to govern ourselves, the academic elite at Yale Law School are re-writing the United States Constitution. Billionaire Hungarian financier George Soros is funding the effort, which promises social and economic equality and an entitlement to "free" healthcare, education, child care, and anything else you can think of.

Power Line has a rundown of their notes, which not only outline what should be in the new document, but what is wrong with our existing Constitution.

Robin West
--does Equal Protection clause have relevance to progressive cause? Born out of struggle of enslaved laborers
--inconsistent with state that does little or nothing about social and economic inequalities
--implies the existence of positive welfare rights-education, police protection, healthcare, childcare, etc
--14th Amendment delegitimates social and economic inequality
--only legislative constitution can be read as implying equality supportive of progressive goals...
--legislator acts to change the status quo-ought to realize he needs to work toward the protection of all citizens (unlike the judge...legislators have more power than judges in this realm)
--such a legislator might be persuaded that evils that warrant protection include unbridled capitalism...
--progressive hope of more equal, less treacherous world...

Richard Ford
--two concerns of the panel: social equality (civil rights) and economic equality (redistribution of resources)
--problems of black urban underclass
--isolated from mainstream society-ghettoized minorities suffer
--have trouble favorably impressing employers-leads to employment discrimination...

There is plenty more. The notes reek not just of socialism, but outright communism. The group hopes to ratify the new Constitution by the year 2020.
