To impeach, or not to impeach

So the militias acted as a supplement to the meager law enforcement in place, hence the 2nd Amendment.  Because our society and institutions have changed so drastically, it makes sense to view the Constitution as a living document, but dogmatic conservatives believe the opposite and hold power for now.  So the 2nd stays in its perverted Scalia form, and so does the arcane amendment process that makes changing that nearly impossible.

Yes. You are correct again. However, what you fail to take into account or realize for whatever reason, is the amount of people in charge of law enforcement is relatively meager in size when compared to the over all size of the country and the overall population of the country which is currently unknown and unable to determine at this time.
