    I do find it odd that you guys put so much emphasis on a document written in a time nothing like today.

    Like surely it should evolve, but I can see how that would go right now so it’s probably for the best.

      Just because an idea is old, doesn’t mean its a bad idea. And we do have mechanisms for modifying the constitution. We just don’t do it often because it requires a lot of agreement.

      We do amend the Constitution from time to time, but it takes a 2/3 vote in both houses of Congress, plus ratification by 3/4 of states. so it’s quite a high bar.
