Living document my a$$. The Founders would not have spent so much ink on the amendment process if every county court judge could rewrite the Constitution on a whim.
Oh so very true, muir_redwoods!
Which tells us that the Article V amendment process is the very thing the progressivists want to avoid. Because there is no widespread pubic support for their policy prescription projects, they must do an end-run around Article V, to secure their illegitimate ends that the Constitution does not and cannot accommodate. And as rapidly as possible.
Thank you for drawing attention to this fundamental problem.
