The Constitution can be changed. It is a difficult process and quite rightly so but the people can do away with the current constitution and start all over.

These are the people who reinterpret the Constitution in ways that allow government to expand the scope of their jurisdiction and legally disregard the natural rights of the people. It is one thing to take a liberal view of the Constitution and another thing entirely to claim the Constitution says what it does not say.

A government without checks and balances usually ends in dictatorship.
