Law prof suggests rewrites of First and Second Amendments that do not mention free press or bearing arms | Fox News

No problem. All she needs to do is get two thirds of the senate and two thirds of the house, or two thirds of the state legislatures, to call for a convention, and then they can debate and vote. Until then, she is just blathering about what she wishes those dead white guys had written. Here's a clue: nobody cares what you wish, honey.

The former Supreme Court justice also cited the 2008 Supreme Court ruling District of Columbia v. Heller, which affirmed the Second Amendment protects the right of an individual to own a firearm without serving in a militia. Stevens, along with retired Supreme Court justice David Souter and sitting justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, dissented from the majority opinion in that case.

“Overturning that decision via a constitutional amendment to get rid of the Second Amendment would be simple and would do more to weaken the NRA’s ability to stymie legislative debate and block constructive gun control legislation than any other available option,” Stevens wrote.

The long-serving Supreme Court justice, who left the court at the age of 90 in 2010, has pushed liberal issues throughout his retirement. He has advocated for the abolishment of the death penalty and the legalization of marijuana, among other causes. His 2014 book Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution proposed, among other changes to the Constitution, the rewriting of the Second Amendment to instead read: “the right of the people to keep and bear arms when serving in the militia shall not be infringed.”

Yeah, nobody cares what you think, you doddering fool.
 
Mary Anne Franks, the Michael R. Klein Distinguished Scholar Chair at the university is just another wacko liberal from the increasingly discredited world of academia. I like the way that these pseudo-intellectuals bestow phony honors on each other like the "Distinguished Scholar Chair." This is all part of their delusional circle jerk.

People keep trying. The latest effort is backed by the Koch funded ALEC group(for a balanced budget ) and a Dem group (for voting reform). They say a re-written constitution that contains too many objectionable items would never be approved by 3/4 of the state legislatures.

At least two-thirds of states must pass a call to force a convention; so far, 15 states have passed the model legislation proposed by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a conservative group that backs free markets and states’ rights.....another five Democratic-led states — Vermont, California, Illinois, New Jersey and Rhode Island — have approved calls for a convention focused on campaign finance reform.
