Imagine if we made new laws that evolved with the time and retired old laws that are clearly anachronistic?

If instead of interpreting and discussing unclear text the legislators just said “we believe this is wrong, and thus - now we change it”.

That is technically what the amendments are, but it's so much harder to push an amendment through congress than it is to just argue that the constitution already agrees with what you want to happen
