As for my opinion, I believe the Constitution isn't a perfect document. But our forefather's wrote what they believed poignant at the time. A document like this must grow with the times and there does need to be amendments to keep it viable. Some in Congress see this, (mostly republicans in your opinion) and are trying to keep it as relevant for today as possible. Nothing wrong with that.
Good to know you're not a "strict construtionist".
Poignant?
"construtionist"?
