    It literally has amendments. The latest one was ratified in 1992. The founding fathers considered the constitution to be a living document, hence why there is an amendment process.

    Ironically, the people treating the constitution like gospel are the same people that keep ignoring it.

      The same founding fathers that apparently thought it was a document that would probably be replaced after a few decades? (Or is this something everyone says that has no basis in reality? )

      It’s the thing conservatives do. They just say stuff for effect and don’t care about truth or consistency.

      The Constitution is a perfect document that must be upheld when it suits their goals, and a living document that must be updated when that suits their goals instead. They are liars. They should not be accepted in polite society.
