Although the causes are complex, many of today’s problems can be traced back to choices made in drafting the Constitution, choices that are increasingly haunting us. After 200 years, it is time to begin thinking of drafting a new Constitution to create a more effective, more democratic government.

The problem is not that the Constituion is flawed; but rather, that it’s neither observed, nor enforced.

“The problem is not that the Constituion is flawed; but rather, that it’s neither observed, nor enforced.”
And it has been obliterated with erroneous case law. Get rid of all the precedents and go back to scratch and it would be just fine.

We effectively would have already thrown out the Constitution, if we were to always go by the decisions of Democrat Judges. Their decisions are generally totally devoid of any Constitutional reasoning. Read the dissenting opinions of Sotomayor for example. They largely contain no reference to the Constitution.
The fact that the author of this article is Erwin Chemerinsky, the Dean of the U of Cal Berkeley Law School, proves the point.

the whole inalienable rights thing which makes the citizen primary
is an impediment to the collectivists dream of making the state primary

Agreed.
You want to make it different, there’s already a way to do that.
Guess they think they can’t get it done that way.
