The Folketing and the Realm. lol

I wish somebody would re-write Tolkien and make it an enjoyable read. Almost as bad as trying to read HP Lovecraft.



But no, they wouldn't have to re-write that flowery piece of antiquity. That's what amendments are for. Then when Trump changes his mind they can write another one nullifying that first one and it will look like the prohibition scars on our own constitution.


And at the end of the day, the King can do whatever he damn well pleases. Half of that document makes a point of letting that be known.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Trump wants to buy Greenland. Roughly 80% of the surface of Greenland is ice. Greenland’s melting ice could raise seas by 20 feet. So, Trump wants to spend good money on something that isn't going to be there in 50 years.

Let me remind some here that the title of this thread is "Trump Administration Tried To Bury His Climate Study"

The King can do whatever he damn well pleases? You are thinking of Trump. In Denmark, the Constitutional Act is changed always with the consent of Danish citizens. It is not King or 3/4th of the state legislatures doing the changing. And Danish citizens have a very low opinion of Trump. About 99% think he is crazy. The rest? That he is fat. They will not change their Constitution for him.

I'm just going by what the actual words in the Constitution of Denmark say themselves. Not by however wikipedia interprets it.

You don't have to go very far to paraphrase the line in part III: "13. The King shall not be answerable for his actions; his person shall be sacrosanct."

Quote:

Definition of Sacrosanct: (especially of a principle, place, or routine) regarded as too important or valuable to be interfered with.


So yes, as the Constitution was drafted and currently reads, the King can do whatever the fuck he pleases and is answerable to no one.

I checked. The King of Denmark came very close to getting his ass booted out of the Palace in 1920. Since then, the Monarchs have kept their mouths shut for fear of the Parliament getting rid of them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Crisis_of_1920

More politely explained: "There is a political truce in Danish leadership that has persisted since 1920 and the Easter Crisis. The Monarch retains power on paper alone and the Danish parliament rules without interference by the Monarchy. As long as the Monarchy is not committing a serious crime the population will continue to treat this question as not important."

Also: Trump, the divider, unites Denmark against sale of Greenland.

Sounds to me then that the Danish Constitution is nothing more than a piece of toilet paper anyhow and is in desperate need of a complete overhaul to be up with the times. It also sounds to me like it was severely outdated when it was written up in 1953 if none of that stuff about the King was legitimate over 30 years before it was written and almost the whole goddamned thing is about what the King can do.


Either way, Second, you lose this argument.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Sunday told newspaper Sermitsiaq. "I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously."

Frederiksen said conversations around the US buying Greenland were "an absurd discussion. (Greenland's Premier) Kim Kielsen has of course made it clear that Greenland is not for sale. That's where the conversation ends."

That's not a retort.

That's quoting my post and then quoting a news story. Quoting my post was unnecessary since you abandoned our discussion.

Trump's environmental policies could lead to more premature deaths

According to the EPA's own analysis, the Trump administration's Affordable Clean Energy rule will result in up to 1,400 more premature deaths a year by 2030. Learn more about the impacts of Trump's deregulation campaign on the CNN Special Report "A Toxic Tale: Trump's Environmental Impact,"
