RBG was asked about progressives' desire to do away with the Electoral College. Her response is one with which I agree.
It’s largely a dream because our Constitution is … hard to amend. I know that from experience.RBG is one hundred percent correct in that assertion. It requires very wide-spread agreement with the proposed change, and even then takes years to accomplish.
By the way, amendment difficulty is a feature of our system, not a flaw. Our Constitution is designed to ride out normal fluctuations in public opinion without itself changing.
