I was thinking more along the lines of getting rid of the 8th amendment.

With the "living Constitution" interpretation of the document, if we dispose of the EC, couldn't also suspend annoyances like a strict demand that we not draw and quarter traitors, or for that matter, that the "traitor" definition be expanded to include registered democrats?

Ever notice how 'them unintended consequences' tend to bite the Left, a lot? (Frankly, it's because they are THAT F#CKING STUPID, but this is a different discussion.)

Given the political positions of the Democratic Party, Article 3 Section 3 would already apply to them. Not to mention Article 1 Section 9 Clause 2.

Of course, nobody wants the kind of thing that the Democrats want to end up with, except the Democrats:

“Dictatorship is power based upon force and unrestricted by any laws. The revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat is power won and maintained by the violence of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie — power that is unrestricted by any laws.” … — Lenin

This is their endgame.
