No human idea is infallible. That is why the constitution was deliberately designed to be a living document.Hence the amendments such as the Bill Of Rights.
My understanding is that the US constitution can only be amended by a 2/3 vote of Congress,the representatives of 'we the people' and not by narrow vested interest.
Of course you have every right to be upset, stamp your little foot if it will make you fee better.. What you do not have is a right NOT to be upset.
2/3 vote of congress. This is exactly why people need to be aware of the people they elect into these positions and the superstitions they may or may not believe in. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
