Indeed. In an environment where we can barely pass meaningful laws, we certainly cannot change the constitution. It just seems like a tragedy that we use laws and court rulings where we should be using amendments, and using executive orders where we should be using laws. Seems it would be much, much more stable to enforce the constitution to its (letter | intent | reasonable modern interpretation) and force congress to deal with adjusting the constitution....than to short-sightedly ignore the constitution for immediate political and judicial expedience.
