nobody is "ignoring" anything dullard; we are saying it is being misinterpreted
OH AND IF ANYBODY is showing hypocrisy here it is you left-wingers who always say the Constitution is a living breathing document that needs to change with the times. we arent saying change it; we are saying it was NEVER meant to be interpreted this way
It is a living breathing document, and I'm open to changing it. But nothing is being misinterpreted by anyone except by you and the rest of the in-breds.
I ALWAYS take exception to the notion that our Constitution has somehow obtained DNA and become an organic entity! IT IS NOT! Though, the foolish and misinformed idea of the 20th Century that it is a "living" document endures to this time owing to folk lore passed down.
The Constitution is ONLY and PRIMARILARLY a SOCIAL CONTRACT binding the People together so they may govern themselves in some semblance of harmony, which was not a reality under the old Confederation! ANY changes made between the four corners of that CONTRACT requires multiple approvals of millions of INDIVIDUALS to consent to those modifications, which has happened only 27 times in our history. Only the INDIVIDUALS who are PARTY to that CONTRACT can agree to any changes. A living organism can do that on its own.
The ONLY exception to the amendment process of Article V is through Judicial Review by the People's Proxy, SCOTUS but only for interpretation of the law not amending it in and of itself.
