Anyone else think it's time we make the Bill of Rights an entrenched clause?

This would entail amending the Constitution so that no part of the Bill of Rights can ever be repealed with a later amendment. Ever.

In addition to the Bill of Rights, I'd include the Civil War amendments too.

Making the Bill of Rights an entrenched clause would likely render the flag amendment pretty much useless even if it passed.

This may be one of the few sane and reasonable posts you have made here, but I agree with your idea wholeheartedly. I would like to get rid of both the 18th 'Prohibition' amendment, as well as the amendment repealing it, and renumbering all subsequent amendments, but that is a minor alteration and one I would not bother taking the time and effort to pursue.
