42. I would have to disagree.
By that is just my opinion. I don't think that the bill of rights is up for pruning. I do however feel that it is a living document that can evolve with society. I would rather see it continue to expand. As it did with the modern civil rights movement, and farther back to the abolition of slavery.

I think that the bill of rights is in place to limit the government, not the the people. Pruning it only serves to give power to the government over the people. To me that is far too dangerous.
