One of the founding principles of our government was that the people can draft constitutional amendments if they do not support the actions of justices who deem laws unconstitutional. Amendments exist specifically for the people to keep the judicial branch in check, and exercising that right in no way desecrates the founding principles. In fact, it shows that they're working.

and society and write ignorance and bigotry into the most important document we have.

Ignorance? I think you'll have a hard time convincing me that I'm ignorant on this matter. You have a better argument with bigotry, but still a weak one. I don't support a constitutional amendment for the definition of marriage because I hate gays. Quite the contrary. I'd be perfectly happy whatever the result of the vote.

Remember, though, that the most important document we have was designed to be changed. Just because we've only had one amendment in the past thirty-six years doesn't mean it's written in stone. It's meant to be changed when it needs to be changed.

It's worse on so many levels. Laws can be ruled unconstitutional, but the constitution can't

Yeah, let's just pretend the twenty-first amendment never happened...

You're basically complaining about something because it works.

Which is exactly what you're doing regarding constitutional amendments.
