Where do you stand on the constitution?

[Craig234]

The constitution is designed to be revised over time. That's what amendments are. I don't really have much of an opinion other than, if the people feel it needs to be changed, and an amendment is ratified, then so be it.

There are needs BOTH for amendments which can more drastically modify a constitution, and for interpretation to correcly apply the consitution better over time.

What some people don't understand is that the constitution itself says explicitly that there are rights it protects that are not explicitly listed.

So following the constitution REQUIRES judges to consider what those rights are, and those who attack judges who do so are the people who are violating the constitution.

Interpretation is needed to apply the second amendment. Amendment would be needed to remove it. That's how it's supposed to work.

None of the others apply as the means to change the C are in the C. I don't think there is another valid way to view it.

The means to change it are in it - as are the means to interpret, which is designed to change over time. Disagree? Answer post 19.
