Just like they changed the interpretation of "shall not be infringed" and many other things. The text has aided in this abrogation of rights, or it has been powerless to stop it. Either way, the system built on it is gone, replaced with something else.

which is why you simply change the language, no amendments required.

And yet that specific right is being infringed. It's done the way it's done because changing the Constitution is very difficult, which it should be. They've simply routed around it. We have federal prohibitions and gun laws, the pale shadows of which required amendments in the past.

I used to fear a Constitutional Congress, because it would open the floodgates to actually destroy it. Now I realize that it would be throwing fresh meat into an empty pen, demonstrating that the wolves are hungry, even if our livestock is all dead.
