but wouldn't it make sense that certain laws and philosophies that made sense in the 18th century might not do so in the 21st?

Absolutely, you have to change with the times, and I have no quarrel with that.

What I'm referring to is the fact that the change is always toward the Left. While we go through brief periods during which the courts tilt to the right (for example, when a two-term Republican president appoints several justices), over the course of our nation's history, there has been a persistent move to the Left.

There are those who would argue it isn't "ALWAYS" to the Left, but that I respond that you need only compare where the Court is today versus where it was 200 years ago.

I just wonder sometimes are there limits? Or do we just continue the Leftward bias into perpetuity...
