“If only that were true. The very word indicates a constitution that has no permanence and can be altered at will by a fickle populace—just as the Democratic Party openly calls for, and the GOP establishment implies by euphemism. Some words are indeed to be feared.”
How many amendments are we up to nowadays, remind me again?
Not as many as some other actually democratic countries that are far younger. Ireland, which has been independent of the UK since 1948 (but not of the European Union, since 1972), is now up to 36 amendments, the last one in 2018 being the one to legalize abortion (in contravention to the eighth amendment that passed in 1983 to protect the life of the unborn child).
See the danger of democracy yet?
