LOL...I began writing my post when there was only two responses in the thread...and that was the same thing that stuck out at me.

Those who want to push something through as quickly as possible.

To me, one of the most amazing things about the Constitution (and my admiration for those who framed it) is that they took care to include the mechanisms of change within the documents itself, and were astute enough to make the document difficult to change, so that it would be resistant to the effects of populist winds and flames.

Yes, there is a lot to digest.

But that's the nice thing about these threads. You can come back again and again and absorb the words and their meaning. It's not something that has to be done in a hour or even a day.
