- hnfong 3y agoWithout "updates" you wouldn't even have the First Amendment...
- deprecative 3y agoThe processes via which we update that Constitution. I wasn't speaking to historically I mean now. We cannot get amendments ratified through the normal Congress + States approach. We'd have to do the whole Constitutional Convention thing. That opens the entire Constitution up for changing. If that happens, because land means more than people, we'd have the chucklefuck brother-husbands in charge of the process.
- darkclouds 3y agoWhy would you have slavery back and no separation of the church and state? If the Christian Church can recognise it needed a New Testament, then why not a new US constitution. I'm sure many of religious followers would accept the need for change and updates, as technology and business in general demonstrates on a daily basis. Or is the resistance to change simply demonstrating peoples needs or desires to live in some rose tinted past of human history, that has white washed the abominations of the past? If it does, should these people be making decisions for lots of people?
- deprecative 3y agoConservatives are actively trying to do both at present. Let's not give them power to do either.
