Every amendment should be contemplated to ensure - as best possible - that it is not "mob rule" but rather a wisely implemented modification of our nation's fundamental principles.

You're almost to the point of dissembling now. That an Amendment requires 2/3 of both Houses of Congress and 3/4 of the state legislatures for ratification is more than ample insurance against mob rule.

Even if an Amendment is unwise, the proceess of ratification precludes anyone from honestly calling it "mob rule."

My position is clear. Feel free to disagree, but it is not a dissembling statement. The distinction is at best subjective; I've attempted to frame it as objectively as possible.
