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’.

You claim there are no limits on congressional power and then ay that abuses of power are to be corrected by the checks and balances system - if there are no limits how can there be abuse?
