America logic :  CONSTUTION SAYS SO, so its right and cant be changed<br>Enter the ammendments,(reply>), Jimmy De'Souza reading this now is hilarious considering what’s going on in the US now. The amount of people who do think that the constitution is set in stone is absurd.,(reply>), Eric14492 it is sacrosanct for good reason, but it can be changed and has been seventeen times since. in fact, Republicans are coming very close to being able to pass amendments. there's just a few legislatures to go. but that would be some borderline liberal ones. we might finally get a balanced budget amendment or remove the ambiguous "well regulated militia being necessary for a free state" and clarify other things. as for citizens united, there was nothing wrong with the decision, it was heavily supported by unions, Democrats seem to have benefited more from it, altho it doesn't appear to have changed anything except the amounts donated. what i don't get is why you nuts want to push influence back in the dark. if not for that decision, special interests would find secret ways to influence government. now they have to publicly announce it. the paranoid reaction to CU is ridiculous,(reply>), A nice example of the American civil religion. In Finland the entire constitution was rewritten in 2000 and there was no public pressure to do so.,(reply>), @Jimmy De'Souza I don't agree. Many people view the Constitution as infallible and even as sacrosanct as the Bible. They think this even though they revere the amendments. They would consider amending it like rewriting the Bible. This is particularly true of the supposed "God given" right to be armed to the teeth with whatever weapons they want. However, just like with the Bible, they frequently pick and choose the parts that they want, and ignore the rest.<br><br>With our dysfunctional political climate, it is essentially impossible to amend the Constitution again, even to overturn the completely absurd Citizens United decision.,(reply>), @Jimmy De'Souza people say that the constitution must not be changed, yet support the amendments
