This is quite a breathtaking display of ignorance.

To suggest that the people can simply ignore the Constitution and the intent of the Founding Fathers because that cherished document was written at a more - shall we say - "quaint time" is patently absurd.

You are correct, Ron. The Founders couldn't see into the future and they made a very specific and sound allowance for adopting changes to that document by a very detailed and hurdled process to ensure that the Constitution is just changed willy-nilly.

If you think the Constitution is a burden to keeping this country safe, then I suggest you quash your blatant ignorance and read Article V and start pushing your Congressperson or Senator to amend the Constitution in the way you think is best.
