If he truly understood the constitution he'd understand why it is important to be vigilant when following it. Even the slightest compromise could mean all of our rights. Hell, we see this in European countries with their much larger (and ever-increasing) censhorship policies and a lack of many individuals freedoms that we'd have protected against here. The only reason there isn't tyranny in these political states is because of international intervention.
The rights given in the Bill of Rights aren't things that change with time. They're absolute rights of nature, and are necessary for free men to exist.
I'm starting to see how true Alexander Hamilton was, even today with this following quote.
"Foreign influence is truly the Grecian horse to a republic. We cannot be too careful to exclude its influence."
Alexander Hamilton, Pacificus, No. 6, July 17, 1793

I think the bill of rights should have stuff added to it that apply to the modern age. Keep all the rights that are there already but add to them. Things have changed alot since 1776. Freedom of things like the Internet must be protected and it must be done now.

It's perfectly valid to amend the constitution. It's just very hard, which is the major issue people have with it. All of the Bill of Rights applies to the internet though, at least implicitly. But if we have to declare such explicitly then it will happen.

Well it don't seem like it, when governments around the world are trying to do all they can to control the internet. Remember SOPA and PIPA? or the ITU conference in the UN? They all wanted to restrict the internet, one day they might succedd
