No, the will of the people should be expressed as amendments to the constitution.
It is a serious flaw is the US system that issues that carry supper majority support in the public for decades have no chance of making it into the constitution.
- theandrewbailey 4y agoThe last amendment was passed 30 years ago, and the one before was 50 years ago. Maybe most of the politicians in charge only pay lip service to an issue, and don't have the will to die on a hill for anything, or leave anything for those who come after them.
- lokar 4y agoI think it's a combination of it being too hard, and politicians "saving" issues, keeping them live, to motivate voters. Many times in the past 30 years the dems could have passed a federal law protecting abortion rights.
