Totally interested in being an alternate for Cascadia, but I'm certain Seiferguy has our best, teriyaki infused interests at heart.

As an Oregon Onion, I don't see how some of these are structural constitutional issues and not for the legislature... LGBTQ rights, IP reform*, tribal rights, even flying weed legalization over the head of the legislature sound great to me, but equal housing, comprehensive infrastructure, and especially free trade definitely belong under the more flexible jurisdiction and judgement of the legislature instead of enshrined as the way to do things for hundreds of years in the constitution. Can you imagine if, like, the Monroe Doctrine snuck its way into an amendment or some poo poo?

* Although IP needs reformed in the opposite direction, drastically, for creative works. poo poo's a loving mess. (I just want sampling back in hip-hop honestly.)

Also, I'll echo what I've seen said here already: The judicial branch is the most well-functioning branch of the entire US government, especially when you include the Bill of Rights, which makes sense because the constitution was written by a bunch of lawyers. It doesn't need much, if any, changing. (Prison for profit needs to die though.)

I would sum up the LGBQ* issue as an "Expanded Equal Rights Amendment".
