Everyone would ask "Well wait what changes are you making?" and odds are a significant percentage would be upset with any particular change.
I am sure the COT would love some changes to the interstate commerce clause, just as I am sure a small percentage would want changes in the Roe vs Wade interpretation of the right to privacy. Once you start down that path you end up with something no one would accept.
Of course during the initial phases of reconstruction just about everything except is up for grabs, but bringing people back to the "normality" of the Prewar US being a long term goal makes sense.

That's exactly my point Kato... The Constitution was the basic building block that our Republic was founded upon. From it everything else springs forth from it.
But if i'm passionate about the Constitution, it comes from my ancestor SIGNING that document that has inspired so many wonderful (and yes, at times horrible) things to happen during the past 230+ years.

Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
