Genuine (ie not one of the silly ideological) conservatives would have something to say about this.
They'd say the constitution which exists is the rock upon which a few centuries of institutional wisdom have been built.
But they would go on, this doesn't preclude cautious and sensible adjustment.
Maybe the will of the people isn't a cure-all, but it's a major part of the solution. And let's face it, if the will of the people was the cure-all, there would be no need for a constitution which imposes rules upon them.
For myself, I think the issue of custodianship of the institution of democracy in the US has become blindingly obvious. The resource of trust and the operation of the levers of government can come into conflict. And that is what is happening now.
Folks are willing to cheat to win. To some, the spoils of victory are worth more than integrity, decency and honour.
Evidently there's a missing piece in the constitution, which is an institution with a sense of the value of the long cycle of US history, which promotes the vaue of truth and the sense that the administration of government is run for the benefit of everyone, at least as far as balance permits. That's the only way to get a sense of stability, authenticity and hope in the US as a nation.
It's lost it at the moment.
