notice the reporter used the term "open to more contemporary interpretations". What a loaded phrase. More demolib history writing.

Well, nuts, let's just burn the Constitution and be done with it. That'll rid us of the hypocrisy of pretending we pay it any attention. ``For the framers did not say specifically what factors judges should emphasize when seeking to interpret the Constitution's open language.'' Equally, the framers did not say you re-interpret out of existence. Actually, there is much evidence that indicates they DID mean what they wrote. Breyer noted the Constitution ``does not define the freedom of speech in any detail. The nation's founders did not speak directly about campaign contributions.'' True. They wanted it to be interpreted as broadly as possible. Including, undoubtedly, this internet that did not exist in their day. Stephen G. Breyer was born in San Francisco in 1938 to a lawyer San Francisco. Oxford. Stanford. He's been to all the wrong places.
