Do you even read before you post - I said SIMPLE majority - not ammendments (the process being a limit on congressional power btw...)

Further, you think that the Amendment process can deny rights?

Also, using examples of government abuses of power does not justify the abuse and/or future abuse.

I didn’t say what ‘should’ happen, I was saying what does. And yes, amendments have and in many cases do limit rights.

If the constitution had to amended for every action the government does it would be a 50 million pages long too.

Abuses of power are suppposed to be corrected by elections or the USSC. If not, then ‘we get the government we deserve’.
