What are your views on the current issue before the Supreme court?
And, given the the modern day and age we live in is an amendment added in 1791, which was a very viable amendment then, truly viable now?

I don't particularly like some parts of the Constitution, and I would have opposed its adoption in the present form had I had been around all those years ago. But, agree or disagree, it is the supreme law of the land, and I believe it my duty to fully support each and every part.
So, yes, an amendment added in 1791 is just as viable today as then. And honestly, its a lot more important today than it was then, given that the threats we face as citizens are so much greater now.
