    The process is there, but leftists know they could never get things done the democratic way.

    So they complain about 'outdatedness' in order to devise illegal changes in the way it is read.

    2/3rds! it isn't even that difficult. It's sheer unreasonable laziness when people use the court to bludgeon unpopular ideas. The legislative branch has become used to a paternalistic Supreme court which is sad and arguably unconstitutional in its actions.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
