Dems want term limits for SCOTUS

I'm just saying it should be easier to change. 
Consider the Florida constitution.
The Florida Constitution seems to rack up about one amendment a year.  That's too many, but I don't think either of us would say that there's no point to the Florida Constitution, or that it's worthless.
The US Constitution has gotten one amendment in the last 50 years. That's not enough. 50 years ago, there was no such thing as a mobile phone. 50 years ago, there had never been an oil embargo or a gasoline shortage. 50 years ago, we were still on the gold standard. 50 years ago, abortion was only legal in two states, and it could only be done surgically.
If we the people don't update our laws and constitutions to fit new technology and new social norms and realities, the nine elderly elites on the supreme Court will update it for us, and we won't like the result.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
