[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taking a rigid "literal" approach to the Constitution is so weird to me. It's a *constitution* not a code. Constitution evokes the idea of something living and organic. Not dead letters. [/quote] It was even designed to evolve over time. [/quote] It was designed to change, not to be reinterpreted. And there is a process for changing it. And maybe that process is bad now, and the document has outlived it's usefulness. There is a giant monument in our nation's capital explaining this idea. The Constitution we use today is the 2nd one that was created in a span of only 13 years. Now it's 230 years later! It's OK to say the Constitution or Bible or whatever is a flawed work of humans and cannot be fixed using its own rules. It's not OK to say that it is a perfect document but it doesn't actually mean what it clearly says. [/quote]
