The Constitution already is readable. Yes, the language is from a previous century, but I think it’s very understandable. The problem is that the “legal minds” want to twist its meaning to mean something totally different to suit their purposes, sometimes into something that you or I would not understand it to mean. As in the Colorado case arguing that they would not allow Trump in the ballot because he engaged in insurrection. To most of us, when reading Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, it would be perfectly understandable and support Colorado’s case, but, of course, the Supreme Court had to twist it around to mean something else in order to allow Trump on the ballot there. And that’s exactly why the Supreme Court has lost favor, or trust, with so many people. I highly recommend that everyone read the Constitution. It’s not some massive tome in a totally archaic language. It’s small enough that you can get a pocket-sized (very legible) copy (from Amazon) for just a few bucks. And anyone who has made it through middle school “should” be able to read and understand the basics of it. (I put “should” in quotation marks because so many middle and high school kids these days have not even learned how to read at better than a fourth-grade level. It’s pitiful.)

@jimpaddy79 Interesting. But that’s why we have the Amendment process. We have 27 Amendments so far (we’re still having a “bit” of trouble including the Equal Rights Amendment which gives women equality with men, but we’re always working on it. Yeah, I’m not going to get into that here because I’d be here typing for another hour!) They’re expressly for updating the Constitution based on historical changes and new circumstances. We revere our Constitution because it lays out what our Founding Fathers envisioned for this country as a new and different kind of democratic system which made us different from previous monarchy- and church-ruled countries. It’s held up under the passage of a couple of centuries (although it’s being severely tested right now), and it’s often looked up to by other nations as an example. Let’s hope it survives this year and next.
