That's only partly true and you know it.

"Only partly true..."? Sure. The amendment process can take a long time and
be a difficult task. Nevertheless, if the will to amend the Constitition is
there, it can be done. Since the Constitition was ratified, it has been
amended 27 times -- hardly what I would call "written in stone."

IIRC several of those amendments where made just after it was
ratified.
I dunno much about it i was not alive then. but my famielies sig is on
