    "But it's in the Constitution" - just saying that lowers the
score. The World has changed a LOT in over 100 years, and laws need to
change to accompany that.

 I occasionally encounter people who treat the U.S. Constitution as perfection itself, and as a holy document That Must Never Be Criticized.
 But despite its revisions (AKA amendments) I think it's got serious flaws. As evidence, there are now hundreds of nations with constitutions. Not one has duplicated the U.S. Constitution. All have at least attempted to improve on it.
 

With mixed success. I give you the overwhelmingly adopted 18th Amendment, the only one more destructive than the 17th.
Change for its own sake is not always positive.
