That was exactly my thought. Who gets to decide which pieces get ignored? A pundit who has his favorite pieces?
I agree the laws of the land, and, by extension, the Constitution, need to be altered to reflect the times; but an ad hoc method is not the right way. An ad hoc method simply means the people with the most power get to decide, something the Founders were decidedly trying to prevent.
One of the greatest accomplishments of the Founders was the recognized the need to change with the times and laid a foundation for it. As a country, we just seem to be too (lazy?) to follow the guidance.
