Like the Second Amendment where right now it is interpreted that the people have the right to own firearms but in 30 years it can be interpreted a different way. Clarify the amendment so that interpretation can only be one way.
I also think its a bad idea because the majority of the states are run by Republicans at this moment. That's very dangerous and even though I'm on the far Right, I'm still a Constitutionalist and do not want the Constitution to be a Republican document made law.
Interestingly enough, that interpretation is less than a decade old. Prior to the DC case, the Second was interpreted to mean each individual has the right to take up arms in defense of the nation (join the military).
