Just heard a couple of days ago about how T. Jefferson wrote a treatise, that he believed a "constitutional convention" should be held every 20 years or so, so it the US Constitution keeps up with current times.For the purpose to be amended or revised!Isn't that interesting, a founding father was being more progressive than the conservative stiffs of today, in not admitting nothing should be done to this document, because it was written not by mortals ,but by the gods!Which he knew wasn't true in the least!Obviously because he had the foresight to realize that mores & conditions change, so do the needs of the citizenry & the nations changing conditions. Not one that has vague constitutional wording, on certain issues,that has not kept up with modern societies needs, or the abilities to keep a nation with rational laws & the ability to keep its sovereignty .Also amendments that can be ambiguous, can be clarified ,hey like the 14th, can be spelled out so the insanity of anchor babies will no longer be an issue!
