How long will it be until the US revises the Constitution?

I get the risks, from a political point of view, but the damned thing doesn't address womens rights at all, and as interpreted currently, seems pretty inconsistent with popular opinion designed for political unrest and eventual collapse.

Even if the founders were geniuses, I can't help thinking that subsequent generations have perverted their words.

If the FRC is a church, why shouldn't the GOP be one?

That was the presumption of Madison and Jefferson. That we would be adaptive, creative, and modern and rewrite the constitution on a regular basis. They would point to the amendments as a good example that the constitution was inherently flawed and needed modification according to the times.

We could do it. It would require a constitutional Congress. I suspect if it came to that, the constitution would go retrograde, not forward.

So I think we're culturally doomed on this time and place to have six "literalists" and "originalists' dousing the constitution of their dowsing rods of some privileged presumption of what the forefathers thought and intended.
