you can't put constitutional rights up for vote, same deal as gay marriage.  It doesn't matter if 100% of the people are against it. 

Actually you can with 66% of the vote. Even freedom of religion and speech can be reverse as the Constitution was design that way. The Constitution was never intended to be  like the Ten Commandment , voice of God.

you're talking about an amendment to the constitution, 2/3 vote in house and congress and 3/4 of the state legislators too.  That cannot just be applied for 1 event and they can't contradict each other, it would have to apply for every similar event afterwards.  Extremely hard to do, and extremely hard to get rid of once you do it.  It's also not a vote for the common person.  I guess you're right it's possible, but it is extremely complicated and has a lot more consequences then just trying to change 1 event.
