I see today is "~serious~ conservatives defend the electoral college" day. It's not even that the EC is bad (whatever, sand in the gears) it's that the EC doesn't do anything close to what the founders intended, so the arguments offered just never make any sense.

I don't think any faction should expect to get what they want out of a major change to the constitution. I think it should be changed because it's broken.

the greatest design flaw in the constitution is the difficulty of calling new constitutional conventions. they should have been regularly scheduled so the damn thing could be updated over time without needing a smoking-crater inducing conflict to precipitate a convention.

I dunno on balance I prefer the rules imposed by our priests er judges to what I suspect would happen without a fixed constitution. (Please note that this is almost entirely pessimism about the alternative.)

Oh, I don't know, a lot of people made out like bandits the last time constitutional change was brute-forced. I think this question largely depends on the amount of resistance you really believe would be manifested. That opinion varies WIDELY.
