I think it's a pity that in many people's minds constitutional reform and PR have come to mean much the same thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And I think we as a people need to stop being disingenuous about what the Constitution provides for. It does not provide for this all-encompassing power that we've seen exercised over the last several decades. It's what's gotten us into this bankrupt position.
Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so.
Even though we now have the half-century-old new Constitution, there is a popular sentiment of support for the old one that lives on in reality in some quarters.
The Constitution is not a panacea for every blot upon the public welfare. Nor should this Court, ordained as a judicial body, be thought of as a general haven for reform movements.
The ultimate touchstone of constitutionality is the Constitution itself and not what we have said about it.
Just because a majority of the Supreme Court declares something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so.
It is becoming more widely acknowledged that it is better to have a good constitution than not having a perfect one.
I noticed that parts of the opposition have been hostile to any revision of the constitution.
'Constitutional' is just a real pip of a word. Positively rolls off the tongue. In fact, it's downright fun to say. 'Con-stit-too-shun-al.' It's the verbal equivalent of skipping down the street with an ice cream cone in your hand. It's like a semantic bag of Lays potato chips. You simply can't just say it once.
If there is one set of laws, one Constitution for every citizen, its protections hopefully applied equally to all, then why do the results seem to differ so radically? What do you call that? Look around - you're living in it.
