Quite simply, the eighth amendment is not fit for purpose, as subsequent referendums have shown, and it needs to be taken out. If we have to tinker with it, go around it, work through it and turn it upside down for the rest of our lives, the Constitution will never be at peace. This is an opportunity to take out what should never have been put in in the first place. The people will decide.
