I am pretty sure that Belsnickle is suggesting that any changes to the Constitution meet the standards set in Article Five of the current Constitution.
Actually, no. If we are talking about a new constitution entirely, Article V would not be in play. If we are talking about amendments then it would. I would rather it be done by amendments, but there are a lot of things to be looked at and would make the process very interesting.
All of that being said, we still don't know that these things would change. The First Amendment freedoms, for example, are so entrenched in our society that I think even if we completely started over they would be included.
