"If you are a strict constructionalist - which apparently the governor isn't because he's looking to amend the Constitution - you would have respect for the wisdom of the Framers."

The person who wrote this is an idiot. The Constitution itself allows for its own amendment. A strict constructionist would say, "Amend it according to the process set out in the constitution, and you have correctly applied the Constitution to itself."

Absolutely right. There is nothing whatsoever wrong with amending the Constitution by its own provisions. Thank God they thought to put in that provision to deal with unforeseen problems like activist justices.
