The founding father never intended the Constitution to be the American Bible. No, I subscribe to what the other TJ - Thomas Jefferson - believed: there should be a revolution in America every twenty-five years; the Constitution thrown out, the politicans, lawyers, and judges thrown out and the new generation decides what's going to happen. It's healthy, this generational cleaning, but only if it happens regularly and with no outside interests participating. Jefferson never envisioned the internet, jet travel or global banking.
