Maybe conservatives don’t want the Constitution fixed. Maybe conservatives aren’t being entirely intellectually honest when they claim to prefer new amendments to secure rights. Maybe they just don’t believe that some people deserve rights at all. Maybe conservatives limit the amendments that should give gay people and Black people and women-people equal rights, because conservatives don’t want them to have equal rights. How many times does the hunter have to shoot Bambi’s mom before we stop blaming the deer that got in the way and turn our attention to the person who pulled the trigger?
