The right loves to quote Thomas Jefferson above all other Founding Fathers. I wonder what they'd make of his assessment of the Constitution and his own role as a founder:
I am not an advocate for frequent changes in law and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.
In other words, don't amend the Constitution willy-nilly but always consider it within the context of the current day. Oh, and originalism is stupid. That's as opposed to, amend the Constitution willy-nilly to require a balanced budget, ban abortion, make English the official language, bar the native-born children of undocumented workers from citizenship, allow school prayer, and repeal the 17th Amendment while otherwise keeping the law of the land rooted firmly in 1789 and in however we and only we interpret the collective mind of the Founding Fathers.
