"Am I to understand you are not pleased that unlike our federal courts, Congress attempted to follow the prescribed constitutional route to amend the Constitution?"

Not when they try to pass amendments that clearly violate the intentions of the framers. See flag burning for a example. I would never burn a flag as it stands right now however if that stupid law was pass you better believe I would call the cops and media, invite them to my house, sit down like Gandhi, light a match and wait for them to start beating me. Its called Free Political Speech.

I am just curious, exactly which intentions of the framers are they violating? I suppose you could make a case that any amendment violates their intent since they did not include it, but yet the framers put in a process to admend it.
