1) Your "Constitutional Rights" is a phrase that only involves rights listed in the Constitution. Just a picky point, but one that's worth mentioning since I see it used a lot for things in the Declaration of Independence, human rights, etc. If it's not in that document, it may very well be a right, but it's not a Constitutional right.
2) You are never going to get even a single Amendment to that document. It's designed to be fuck-all impossible to change, which is absolutely brilliant. Because ratifying an Amendment takes a super-majority of states, it is immune to the whims of popular opinion. (If that makes you a sad panda, remember that George Bush was in power from 2000-2008.)
Neither of those are huge things, but I've noticed some confusion on both and wanted to straighten it out.
Thank you for that reminder, I know I for one have been guilty of referring to all rights as 'Constitutional'. The goal shouldn't be to change those splendid documents but rather change the people who have perverted their intent.
The Constitution is clearly written and only an oath breaking representative can pervert its meaning.
Right there is the problem. Your elected and appointed representatives have systematically broken their oath to OBEY and protect oath of office for decades. that is precisely why we are in the mess we are in.
