That's not a problem with the constitution, though. That's a problem with the backstabbing nature of politics/culture wars in the USA.

The idea is supposed to be that we only update the structure of our government as needed when there's broad support for it. That should be easy when we're considering a change that's obviously in the public interest.

But right now, if someone from the "wrong" party says that the sky is blue, the other party will come up with all sorts of reasons why They Are Wrong And Evil. You can't cooperate when the only rule is to badmouth the other guy.
