I think that the US government can change or amend the Constitution to suit itself, especially in times like the US is facing today. Demonstators were arrested today in Washington for speaking their thoughts. Think about it, taxes can be raised, new taxes or tariffs can be levied at any time. Laws can be changed or new laws can be enacted at any time. For and by and of the people? If the president of the US can go to war with IRAQ without the permission of the world, do you think your concerns really matter?
