Mutable:
able or likely to change:
the mutable nature of love
Language is not static, it is mutable.
Noted in “April 9, 2024,” Heather Cox Richardson, Letters From An American:
The [Arizona Supreme Court] explained: “A policy matter of this gravity must ultimately be resolved by our citizens through the legislature or the initiative process…. We defer, as we are constitutionally obligated to do, to the legislature’s judgment, which is accountable to, and thus reflects, the mutable will of our citizens.”
A coded rebuke to the Arizona Legislature, reminding them that either they convince the electorate of the rightness of their position, or they’ll get bounced out on their noses? I’m not sure, otherwise, of the reason for the use of mutable.
