Really? You're really going to go there?

So who would write this new constitution? ALL the people listed in this thread who are the problem. We can even get simple things through congress and you expect them to agree on a constitution! Bawhahaha. If there was a new constitution it would be written by the oligarchs and politicians we so dispise. 

Are you asking me who would write the new constitution or who should write it?

If the country got to a point where a new constitution was a possibility, it would not likely contain anything nefarious in it. Those same oligarchs and politicians can't even get laws like SOPA and PIPA through congress because of public criticism. Any corrupt legislation that got proposed would be noticed immediately, would be an instant scandal, and there would be rioting in the streets.

There is a common sentiment that the U.S. system is so corrupt that legislators can pass whatever draconian legislation they want. They can't. The system is made up of thousands of people, all being pressured by competing interests. There is no one business interest that rules the legislature.
