> Too many people treat the American constitution like the U.S.A. Law-Bible - ever correct, never flawed, never to be updated. That is absurd. The last amendment was ratified in 1992, and I'd say we are overdue for a few more. This is reductive. The arguments I see and participate in are generally those who view the Constitution as an arbitrary document that can change meaning over time without amendment, and those that demand you respect the words on the pages and actually amend the Constitution through the proper channels instead looking for new ways to reinterpret it. This is before getting into the quality of the proposed amendments: most laws can be passed statutorily by either the the States or Congress. Most disputes can be settled in Courts with no changes to the law. So when whether or not something would be a Constitutional, which is to say, a legal violation is not the subject of debate, the quality of the proposals is. Are you proposing any actual amendments you think Congress should take up? Or simply suggesting we pass amendments to pass amendments? |
