Texas Constitution..

Texas.Truth posted a blog about the Texas Constitution in October about the mess our constitution has become and the need for an update. While, I can say that I agree with these statements, unfortunately this will probably not happen. Our politicians are too busy passing sonogram laws and constitutional amendments to allow them to keep their pay and not perform their current job while running for another office. Oops, that's me being bitter and disappointed. (sigh) Although, it really should be poked and prodded, re-written and updated, I seriously don't see it happening because it's easier just to make amendments than politicians actually coming together to comb through the entire constitution to rewrite it. I'm curious to know if any politician has actually read the entire constitution or if it's even possible to read the thing because of all the bandages (amendments) attached to it.
I'll expand on Texas.Truth argument that the Texas Constitution needs to be revised, it does and it has been attempted several times with no success, the closest chance this had to becoming possible was back in the 1970's and to-date The Texas Constitution has been amended 474 times!
Our constitution is too long, too confusing and poorly written.
Yes, we need an updated/rewritten constitution but the chances of it happening are not likely.........we need the politicians to get it together and Texans to pay attention and push for this to have a chance of becoming reality.
