“My question remains to all who seek a to rewrite the Constitution, “What would you change, exactly and why?””
My top items would be
1. instituting term limits on Congress, or merely allowing the states to do so if they so chose
2. Instituting term limits on the judiciary, or short of that, allowing either the Congress or the states, or either, to overturn a judicial decision
3. requiring that any executive regulation must be passed by the Congress before it becomes effective, thus returning the legislative power to the legislature.
I will add:
4. Specific Enumerated Powers, that unless listed in the Constitution or an Amendment the Federal Government shall not have Supremacy to the States.
5. The Courts may not interpret law, but must apply it as written and if they cannot or as written violates the Constitution the entire law shall be declared null an void.
6. The Court may not declare a part of a law null and void, but if a part of a law is null and void the entire law as written is null and void and all adjudication(s) that have taken place as a result of this now null and void law are overturned and reversed.
7. Loser pays legal system combined with plaintiff attorney paying the defendant’s legal fees and compensation for any forfeited income as a result of the unsuccessful suit.
These are just a few of my thoughts.
We don’t need to tinker with the Constitution for that

A superb list, but one that can more easily be handled within the state or by, as the city councilman from Windham, ME would undoubtedly support, the 338 Lapua Magnum rifle. ( see this: http://www.wgme.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/city-councilor-apologizes-comments-lepage-27084.shtml )
Now let me make this clear, if I supported the that, it would have already happened. I only bring it up so as to show that a CC is not necessary to accommodate you list.
