Why do people act as if the Constitution is some infallible document? Hasn't it already been changed over 20 times?
Well the first ten amendments were passed immediately upon ratification and had been drawn up prior to the passage of the constitution in 1787. This means the U.S. constitution has really only been changed 17 times in 229 years. Of those changes, one was overturning a previous amendment.
I'd say that's a pretty good track record.

Pretty simple really, to conserve the constitution.

To have judges who protect the 2nd amendment and the constitution in general rather than legislate from the bench via judicial activism

Not a big Constitutional scholar I see. Or even remotely educated on the document.

Cool.

Um, that's kind of the point. If something is important and there's a nationwide consensus, we can adapt.
Which part do you want to ignore? Freedom of speech? Freedom of religion? Freedom of the press? Due process rights? The abolition of slavery? Black suffrage? Women's suffrage?
If you can be "flexible" in interpreting the Constitution, and the Constitution doesn't really mean what it says, then you can justify any fascist government action.

Care to take a guess at which of the current world's governments has existed fundamentally unchanged for the longest?
I'll save you the trip to google. It's the USA.
Going by that measure, and the fact that the USA is the most prosperous and powerful nation ever to have existed, I would argue that our constitution is the greatest document of its kind yet conceived.
It may not be perfect, but it's the best thing anyone, anywhere, has tried to date.

So when you try to hurl the word 'liberal' at my feet, as if it were dirty,
I do see in your dumb paragraph a lot of people you refer to as liberals that would be highly offended to be compared to you and your kind of liberalism.
As for your op, if you have to ask then you are too dumb to understand the answer.
Now go back to your safe space little snowflake.
