The problem that I see is that the people in politics these days are less willing to compromise and have too much loyalty to their party. We have the minds available to us, we just need them to have an open, logical, honest discussion.
The people who framed the constitution were also in large part leaders at the time. You need the minds and the leadership.
And to be quite honest, I'm not sure I'd like what a new Constitution has to say. I think it would be far more limiting in speech people don't like to hear. The 2nd amendment would be toast. I think we'd get freedom from religion.
