So, you are perfectly happy with one judge being able to change the constitution, but not a majority of the states. This is not a Constitutional Convention! It is no different than the other, Congress initiated, amendment process. The Congress will not propose the amendments that are needed to fix the problem because they will not limit their ability to BE the problem.

That said, I believe that we've flown too far outside of the envelope to recover. And the passengers don't give a damn.
