    The absolute funniest bit is acting like the American constitution is unalterable, like...it can be amended, and in fact has been many times since it's creation lmao.

    You can even indirectly nullify/remove amendments via the passage of another amendment, it is completely mutable and beholden to political machinations

      And the power of amendments is unlimited - you could pass one that says "this document is know defunct"

      Shit even when the constitution was written is wasn't intended to stick around for more then a couple decades. It was supposed to be entirely rewritten on a quasi regular basis, it was never intended to a holy document.
