PS. The Consitution was intentionally written by its framers to create a government that could be overthrown. They had seen what an oppressive regime could be like, and they knew eventually their rules could be subverted to create a society that was equally oppressive.
Thomas Jefferson once said he intented the Constitution to last no more than a few decades. So, if you want to uphold the ideals of the Consitution, you should do so by scrapping it and writing a document that is in line with our times. And that right there is the very heart of being Liberal-- progress versus tradition.
