Thanks for making my point. In your opinion only those with "authority" are qualified to determine what is constitutional. There's no reason for anyone not in "authority" to familiarize themselves with the document, because according to you they'd be incapable of interpreting it correctly.

Of course you mislead. A knowledgable voter is still a minimum requirement for this republic to work. However, that doesn't change the fact that according to the Constitution you and I have delegated the authority to make laws to our elected reps.

Sorry to be the one to clue you into the real world.

That's not the question at hand. We need to determine, have we delegated the power to interpret the Constitution? You submit we have, I say anyone is capable of making the distinction regardless of what some politicians say.
