And apparently assumed that the constitution should be re-written every 17 years or so. That's the 'constitutional convention' ploy, which I'm not so sure it it's a good idea or not, at this time. smh. we're so fecked. wait, where's I put my optimism... it's around here somewhere.

America needs a Constitutional Convention because the world has changed as we must change with it!

AND

The Convention delegates shouldn't be chosen by a direct popular vote because the Founding Fathers wanted us to live as States!
