It’s Constitution Day in America, which is generally the day in which politicians try to prove their immense knowledge and appreciation for the U.S. founding documents. Occasionally some of them misquote it, instead citing the Declaration of Independence, but Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) took another route.
“We will never rewrite the Constitution of the United States,” she proclaimed proudly on Twitter.
When the Constitution is changed it’s called an Amendment and the founding document is rewritten.
As Justice Stephen Breyer has remarked, the Constitution is a “living constitution” that looks to text, history, precedent, purposes, consequences and current values to interpret any text that may have been vague, The Olympian recalled in 2011.

Sadly, I live in her state. She is reprehensible in every way. Believe me, I know plenty of Tennesseans who think she is a complete idiot. Unfortunately, Tennessee is a very red state. There are plenty of idiots who live here and they more than likely think she is a “fine Christian woman,” and they were more than happy to vote for the cretin.
I can’t even stand to look at her.
I apologize on behalf of my state.
