1. Because they are for less government
By passing laws that are worthless, they will in effect make the Constitution worthless and then there will be less government because they will not have to follow those old and outdated laws.

2. Well a number of years ago they were pushing to re-write it.
They wanted a Constitutional Convention. I would say that they are are royalist at heart and would like to go back to a more 'divine right to rule' style. And maybe CEO 's have replaced the royals but--- We may have got rid of most of that in WW1 but it does not mean it has died out in peoples minds. One can hardly say that the gov. has not wrapped in self into a bubble in DC and hardly have a thing to do with us on the whole. The dirty masses so to speak. Our Constitutions was really some thing new to the world. The people ruling them self. It does not seem to sit with the Bloody Bush cabal. I read once that the last Czar of Russia told his agent to Duma that he was the 'decider' and one has to wonder about Bloody Bush in that view.
