I was watching the movie The Majestic (with Jim Carrey) yesterday and there was one part that really caught me. The lawyer (I think) for Carrey's character told him that the Constitution is a contract with the American people and that like all contracts is open to renegotiation. Seems that a lot of people believe that whether by choice or because it was ingrained into them. What we need is more people like Carrey's character, that are willing to stand up no matter what the possible reprucussions and state that the Constitution is a contract that is not open to renegotiation.

Thats funny, a constitution is supposed to be superior to a "contract" just like a constitutional amendment trumps a mere law.
