What in the world are you talking about, keeping or doing away with amendments? It has nothing whatsoever to do with the topic of this thread.

You said, "Personally, I want to take the party (I’m not saying take it back, because I don’t think we ever really had it) for the principles of gradually paring the federal government back to abiding by the Constitutional strictures that were supposed to limit it, of reducing government’s intrusion into the personal lives of the citizens, and of being responsive to the views of the people (within the limits of constitutionality)."

Amendments are very much entwined with the constitution, are they not?

So, do you advocate keeping them all or eliminating some? Have not some given government greater intrusion into our lives, according to many?

That's what I'm talking about.
