Is anyone else sick and tired of the constant whining about how the democrats are "destroying" the constitution? The fact is, BOTH parties alter the constitution to fit their agenda, and it happens with every president. George W. Bush undermined the constitution by introducing the Patriot Act and Bill Clinton introduced the Defense of Marriage Act before him, and so on.
I think the real question is, is the constitution really as sacred as we ascribe it to be? If the constitution were never amended, what would life be like today? I think if the original constitution were presented today, and we had no prior knowledge of it, it would be voted against. Yet, it's always used by the minority party to trash the other, when in reality if their party was in charge it would still be bent and twisted to support an agenda.
Maybe W. was right when he said "it's just a piece of paper".
