Treating the constitution as if it cant be changed because it is "perfect" is wildly different than not wanting the government to boundary test how it can skirt the constitution to get what it wants. When the US government doesnt follow the rules that it was supposed to be bound to via the constitution, it is almost never a good thing.
The constitution set rules for how to change it legitimately. It was designed to be changed over time not flagrently ignored.
That's the problem, it cannot be changed anymore, the base problems with the system itself prevents it from doing so.
Sounds like you have an issue with these "base problems", not the Constitution itself
Who are you and why does it benefit you to support this narrative worshipping of the constitution? Because every response you've made in this thread is either trying to support the constitution as infallible or mock anyone making arguments against it.
None of you idiots understand how the US government actually works and it annoys me.
Haven't seen you make any attempt to prove you know otherwise. You just seem like an idiot debasing other people's arguments rather than making any arguments of your own.
Hell the very post I was responding to you didn't even make an argument, just tried to argue the person wasn't talking about the constitution, when it would obviously be part of the base as a foundation of the country.
If it annoys you and you can't actually provide anything, you should just leave. If you can provide something, then don't waste people's time.
I've said multiple times
The Constitution is the supreme law of the land
The Constitution can be changed, and we have done so multiple times
These are the core things that it annoys me people don't understand.
100%. The only people that are gungho to overhaul the constitution at this point in time mean to do it irreparable harm. It's a tough thing to navigate when you don't believe the politicians involved have anything but the public's unquestioning obedience in mind.
The constitution was designed to be vaguely descriptive, so that in the case that society does change, then statements can be interpreted in a way that supports the new view of the modern country.
For instance, while not in the constitution, the government set up no offical state language or religion, in the case that society had changed making what they said redundant.
