The problem is not anything in the constitution that so much needs fixing, it is that they are not living up to it. the problem is the screwed up views of about 50.1 % of the electorate.

To carry my roofie analogy out further, the girl (electorate) doesn’t want to screw you, THAT is the problem. The magic solution (presto* a new constitution) will not fix that cold reality (that she finds you unappealing). So if you want to bed the cutie down, then you need to lose the gut, and take her to the movies (address issues that matter to them, and demonstrate that you are a good selection).

There is no substitute. But i suppose in a sense, roofies are a “failsafe”.

I liken the arguement at hand like the great councils of the Church. The dogma and belief was there and unchangeable but heretics came teaching strange doctrines and beliefs. The councils cleared up the heresies with clear definitive statements of belief and dogma.

Now replace the word council with con-con, the church with the constitution, and the word heresies with judicial fiat. This is what I am talking about. A con-con can be used to clear up the meaining of the constitution where it cannot be misconstrued as 200 year old language or some other BS the libs make up.

What is most interesting is that it is a similar crowd the heretics and the left-wing penumbra types.
