@kevin-eleven saidI'd be happy with an affirmation that the Constitution still applied to everyone, instead of just those at the top of the class structure.
This was ratified in 1788, but when do we ever get to affirm, "Okay, we're still good with that?" Never.

@kevin-eleven saidIs the process of affirming going to change anything, or is it simply an honorary exercise?

@athousandyoung saidCan you try coming up (and bear with me, i know it's ludicrous) a slightly more nuanced alternative than "if you don't like it, scrap the whole thing?"

@zahlanzi saidThe OP wants to "affirm" the "whole thing". Blame him not me. US Citizens can also request various other laws and Amendments but that doesn't address the OP's concerns.
