Borges said it beautifully, "The amendment process is the final word on the content not the interpretation." Change the content and the point is mute.

Even Amendments must be compatible with the principles of the Constitution.

Marshall said as much in M v M, -- that any law 'repugnant', - is null & void.

Theoretically, the SCOTUS could 'strike down' an Amendment as unconstitutional. -- And that exact point was argued before them in 1919, in a move to nullify the 18th.

""The amendment process is the final word on the content not the interpretation." Change the content and the point is mute."

And if the new content makes the current interpretation impossible, it also changes the interpretation as well. Borges is wrong.

And the word is "moot", not "mute". Mute is someone unable to speak.
