"Isn't it time to consider writing a new Constitution then?" The Bill of Rights would never pass today. It's too radical. So, no thanks. I'll keep the scraps

"Isn't it time to consider writing a new Constitution then?" The Bill of Rights would never pass today. It's too radical. So, no thanks. I'll keep the scraps of the Constitution that I can hang onto rather than subjecting it to whatever our modern political system comes up with. The Constitution was built on solid philosophical ground, truly advancing the state of the art for governments and freedom. It was written and ratified by people who risked everything for what they believed, and they had the humility and restraint to do a good job. And they actually relinquished their own power for the greater good. I'm not betting on that happening again today.
