Amending the Constitution

I wrote a piece on amending the United States Constitution here.

The Sun published this month Made To Be Broken on amending the Constitution. The person being interviewed would not give much hope to my revisions of the Constitution:

In American history there have been four or five occasions when the constitutional amendment process has been used to overturn a Supreme Court interpretation. So, in a sense, the people are supreme, but that’s romanticizing it a bit. It’s been generations since it has been realistically possible to amend the Constitution, especially on matters of national importance or issues that end up dividing the country....

As a side note, for any lawyers who stumble upon this post, there is no mention of The Slaughter House Cases . I believe overturning this one case would rectify much of the Supreme Court's jurisprudence.
