And guess what? They werent unanimously agreed.
Perhaps you could take the time to explain how this is equivalent to your previous statement: "No parliament can pass a law that binds future parliaments." As it stands, it appears that you've presented yet another glaring non sequitur.
The US Constitution was put in place by people. It can be rendered obsolete by people.
It is actually a well-established principle of representative (parliamentary) democracy that voters cannot pass laws which are unable to be amended/rescinded.
In fact, it would be UNDEMOCRATIC if that were otherwise.

Are you trying to imply that I take those protections for granted?
Are you trying to imply that I am trying to imply that you were implying that..........
Come on SkyMutt. I say exactly what I mean. And I assume the same of you. Dont worry, you will know exactly what I'm accusing you of if ever I want to do that.
I'm actually hoping you will agree with me on that one.
Constitutional protections of minorities are very precious and ought not be taken for granted.
Agreed?
