NPR, see the edit above. I believe I remember Civics class but I AM getting old, so I might have missed something.
I'm not old--It's too early to be this late.

there are a couple of methods to amend things. The voting method in the edit. The Constitutional Convention method. The article V method - convention of states which is quite different than a Constitutional Convention. I am a huge fan of options 3.

There is also the change the meaning of the words method and judicial activism method. I call this the slow boil method- and yes we are the frog.

Lastly there is the burn it down method that most progs seem to be ACTIVELY espousing over the last 2ish years. If they are going to do that one, please do it soon, so I am young enough to actively participate.

There is also can't amend any of the Bill of Rights since they exist prior to the founding as Natural Rights...

Given by God and all the rest of it...

He shows his ass anytime he walks outside, he's ALL ass! Really wish he'd actually sit down and READ the constitution that he swore to uphold.

There's something to be said for familial connections to people who avoided the Holocaust ingraining a level of understanding of this issue which surpasses the general population. Which is why I always find it odd whenever Jews in this country align with the party of disarmament (at least on that issue).

You already said it, but I feel compelled to repeat: Excellent!
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Ben Shapiro (miss you Ben on the forum!) has a great theory. Jews (big J) aren't Democrats: ones who go to temple regularly, live the faith, etc. People that happen to be jews (small j) but don't do anything related are.
