Alter? The 10th would be a good one to update, as would the 4th, both to make them more explicit. The 10th to say that it's not about letting states 'opt out' of federal law, and the 4th to say that most of what the NSA and LEO are doing in secret goes against the 4th.

Or are you suggesting this is more 'takings' clause than 2a? In which case I'm good with updating that one as well.
