Even with all the supposed safeguards, I'm afraid of the possibility that a CC could dilute the Constitution. There's nothing wrong with it as is. The problem is liberal interpretations run amok at all levels in the courts, especially the Supreme Court.

I don't disagree....ie. nothing wrong with the Constitution...too bad we don't try governing by it.

While it does take a while to go through the wholew thing, I found it a fascinating discussion.
