Is the U.S. Constitution outdated?

43. Probably, but I shudder to think....

...what a constitutional convention would be like in the days of C-SPAN, FOX Nooze, Twitter, etc. The right wingnuts would scream bloody murder if they didn't get everything their way, and it would probably never get ratified. Personally, I would like to see midterm elections eliminated, all Congressional terms coincide with Presidential elections, and a few other things, like the outdated second amendment removed. But right-wingers would be screaming for a balanced-budget rule, no abortion, and corporate rights protected, and their usual other bullshit, and it couldn't get done. I think we're stuck with what we've got, so we'd better make the most of it and work to re-elect Democratic liberals who will get supreme court justices who will interpret it like it's meant to be.
