I'm against a constitutional amendment mainly because I think we need to be careful when altering one of our most precious documents. It would seem that the purpose of the amendment is to address judges who have been legislating from the bench. They have been able to do this because legislators are not doing their job. I would prefer this matter to be handled by the states instead of an amendment. I don't want to set a precedent that would open the door for change after change to the constitution based simply on a whim.EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.com
