Are you saying that none of the legislators who sat in Michigan in 1992 are still alive? Who are the framers? I say they are the people who voted for the measures that become part of the constitution. I haven't conducted a study but I bet that some of the people who voted (rather yea or nay)in the Michigan legislature are still alive. So you are right, I didn't research exactly how this measure was introduced and passed but I did see that it didn't pass and become a part of the constitution until 13 years ago. My point is exactly right. If you want to change the constitution AMEND it. Don't have individual judges or even 9 supremes decide that they see something in the constitution which was never there.
Whether it was Michigan or Alabama that finally pushed the 27th Amendment is irrelevant to your point. None of the legislators alive today who participated in the ratification of that amendment, either State or Federal, can be given the status of the Framers.
You can say that they participated in the process of amending the Constitution, but the man who crafted that particular amendment has been dead for about 169 years. He was also a Framer and original signer of the Constitution. James Madison.
There are some things you should leave alone, and the elevated status of the wise men who gave us the Constitution and made it amendable is one of those things.
The Constitution, as I already said, contains the necessary language for limiting the power of the courts, because the courts have already overstepped their legitimate powers.
The fix for the courts will be in the appointing of strict Constitutionalists to the bench. Trying to legislate a solution to the liberal courts will endanger the balance built into the Constitution.
(Impeachment of Judges is another way to lessen the number of liberals sitting, and opening up positions for new appointments. Also to be pursued carefully as this can be used against us just as easily.
We need to increase our Control in the House and the Senate, and thereby increase our chances of passing proper legislation and judicial appointments. But amending the Constitution? No, too drastic and there is no clear reason for such a drastic measure.)
