They have already asked “isn’t it time to forget the Consitution”

Since it protects me from the goobermint, or at least tries to, NO, it'll NEVER be time to forget it! In fact, with the tyrants we got running the show now, we need about 30 new rights ("negative rights") codified in the new improved Bill of Rights, and the ones that are there made plain enough so an Obama voter can understand them.

The Bill of Rights are rights that men are given by God, not by man or the Central Government.

The founders understood this clearly and wrote extensively about it. It is the current crop of lawyers who think that is obsolete and archaic. They are Traitors. They often do not believe in God. Now, there is an eternal price they pay for that.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
