    Lots of US people will explain to you that the constitution and its amendments are immutable. And when you ask them to repeat that slowly, they’ll just say it louder because you’re the slow one.

      I wonder if there’s some sort of irony in there about immutable, “perfect” laws

      Literally no one thinks that. It’s immutable, without more amendments. The point is you can’t just ignore what you don’t like

        I’m trying to figure out what the heck you’re saying. You think that no one thinks this is true:

        the constitution and its amendments are immutable.

        I guarantee you double your money back that there are people who think this. They don’t know what an amendment is, or the verb “to amend”. They just know there’s at least 2 of them and they can only be changed by god.
