    He’s not wrong. Look at the amendment that banned alcohol. It was repealed through another amendment.

    The Constitution is meant to be updated and changed with modern times. What he’s meaning to say is that despite Republicans (who don’t even understand the fucking document) believing the Constitution is set in stone, it’s actually meant to be changed regularly.

      Its dangerous to change the constitution to much because it leads to a situation where nobody believes in the document anymore

        So 27’s the magical limit? You think the people who were around when the 14th amendment was added didn’t spew the same bullshit?

        Rules always need to be updated or else we’d still be adhering to the fucking middle ages and still have slavery and kings.

          So when the republicans are in control and demanding the Constitution be changed to protect the sanctity of marriage and ban abortion to protect the life of children and stop child abuse by baning gender affirming care you would be totally on board with that because rules need to be updated or else we would still be in the middle ages and still have kings and slavery
