    Thank you, exactly. What a committee would enshrine at this point in history would become the next century of problems to solve.

    They’re not about to write it in such a way that it would restrain the state or fix real problems. No American first amendment protecting people from JK Rowling’s lawfare, as if “reputation” is a deference she’s owed and not a reflection of her character. No right to privacy that would prevent mass surveillance or let trans people manage their own medications. You’d wind up with Canada’s “notwithstanding” clause letting the bastards waive whatever rights they please so long as they’re blunt about it.
