#2 An amendment? We don't need no stinking amendment.

In bypassing the amendment process and just issuing fiats from the Beltway with convenient 'reinterpretations' of the document from the judicial ruling class, they've undermined the document. It's simply a sacred relic that has no more intrinsic meaning other than 'he who holds power, rules'. The bad assumption of those currently exercising power is that when the power, as it always does, shifts into others hands, the protections of the words they've undermined will still have meaning.
