Another inconvenient truth is that the Founding Fathers never intended the BOR to apply to the states. So?

I'm sure there were lots of things the Founding Fathers never intended --freed slaves for one. So?

Is the author suggesting that we revert back to the Constitution of 1789, since that is the ONLY constitution the Founding Fathers INTENDED.

If the Founding Fathers intended for the Constitution that they wrote to remain intact and unaltered they would not have included provisions for amendment. Peddle the histrionics to someone else.
