Although Thomas Jefferson and Larry Sabato would disagree, the problem with a changing Constitution is that it provides no stability for the rule of law. With the documents that determine legal precedent changing based on variations in social opinion, there is no concrete way to guarantee "inalienable" rights -- ESPECIALLY when there is already a mechanism to make changes within the system itself (the amendment process).

I would be more of the thought that todays society and way of life have strayed away from the constitution.
And thats part of what amendments are... when society changes greatly enough the constitution can be amended.

Are you one of "them"? There are a lot of people out there who are against what the US was founded on.
The inalienable rights and duties spelled out in the constitution / bill of rights are more relevent today than any other time in history.

We don't need a new constitution, we need elected officials who, have at some point, read the old one.

No, the Constitution is as applicable now as it was 300 years ago, you don't mess with perfection...

If our forefathers knew that criminals were being protected by the constitution, they'd roll over in their graves.

No, it is still very relevant.
