Awesome point about the risk of writing a new constitution. I think the only thing worse than relying on a 200 year old constitution is trying to write a new one today.
It would be an interesting academic train-wreck to watch what would result from a constitutional debate between representatives of FIFTY states.
Actually, if we can get the entire congress to focus on writing a new constitution, it would keep them busy for the next 20-50 years and that might be better off for the citizens. LoL
