It’s Time to Amend the Constitution

Sarah Isgur was a Justice Department spokeswoman during the Trump administration and is the host of the legal podcast Advisory Opinions for the Dispatch. She is a contributing editor at Politico Magazine.

She points out that "today, thanks in large part to growing negative partisanship and shrinking Congressional interest in doing anything, the amendment process has been relegated to the dust heap while our national problems – from climate change to an outdated immigration system – pile up without political accountability. The resulting constitutional stagnation is a threat to the Republic – one that should scare you even if you think the Supreme Court has gotten every decision right (narrator: it hasn’t)."

"We need to amend the amending."
