Amendments I would tend to favor would be those that give individual citizens more freedom, and that more specifically and further limit the power and authority of the federal government. I would tend to be against anything giving the government any more resources or authority for anything other than national defense and related matters.
I would not be in favor of anything REQUIRING people to vote - besides disagreeing with the principle of the govt forcing such a thing on citizens, it would only favor dems more.
I would not be in favor of taking voting rights away from people for too many things - certainly not for losing their job during bad times and having to get a little assistance for a while.
Drug testing those on assistance sounds good in theory, but it would be incredibly expensive and impractical. This United States government would probably find a way to pay as much for a single drug test for a single individual as they would pay that individual in benefits for an entire year.
I'd favor keeping most govt authority in the hands of the states.
I would not want to actually BAR individuals from public office because I didn't like their chosen profession (if not an illegal profession), or because they didn't have experience in this or that. I like the idea of a president having military and business experience, but I don't think the federal government should dictate it - let the voters decide... yes, even the dumb ones who have every right to vote.
We'd need to be very careful overall. If not for the Constitution, I could just imagine what Barack Obama would have done to "fundamentally transform" America in the last 8 years.
