One thing I really have a problem with is 51%. For a law to be anything close to just, it really needs to be approved by 95%. Then, all you are really doing is putting it down on paper.
I feel that all laws should have to be past by 90% of congress.
About putting teeth into the constitution... It becomes so hard to draw the lines. You think you are passing a clearly constitutional law, and zap, your fellow congress-people turn on you and its the angry piranhas for you.
Or the opposite, everyone in congress stands shoulder to shoulder and speak in unison that we didn't think that violated the constitution.
But, I wish for the tank of piranhas.
I do not know if the founders planned this (the group that says the constitution was drawn behind closed doors and shoved down the state's throats, says it was) however, evil has used democracy to sell more evil. And putting up two choices, evil-A and evil-B, to be voted upon, is pure evil.
