Too simplistic. Change what law? Highway speed limits? When in history do recall a change in the body of the Constitution? We CAN change it but never have. The only thing that has changed is that more and more, with the blessing and support of many like you, the limitations onf the Fed-Gov embodied in the Constitution are ignored for the sake of expedience.

Well, we changed the way we elect Senators - a change in the body of the Constitution. We have the power to change any law we want - including the Constitution. That makes US supreme, not the law.

That is so, and I had forgoten that. So once in two hundred twenty some years. And not by a majority, it isn't that easy. BTW, I wouldn't consider that to be a good change.

The point still stands, what you support is big, omnipotent central control. Democrat lite, no matter how you attempt to parse it.
