So it needs updating from time to time. Mankind cannot stay frozen in 1776.

There is an amendment process, what specific amendments do you think are required?

>> But why didn't you mention Bush started it?

What american citizen did Bush target and assassinate?

Name ONE!

Bush phone tapped potential terrorists and possible American citizens and the liberals went absolutely
Ape ****!

But Obama assassinates a US citizen because he made a video tape and the liberals are all patting themselves on the back; so proud of how tough they are.

And it has been updated, and presumably will be again. That's fine. What's not so fine is letting the government go beyond the limits of the highest law in the land because its convenient or momentary popular to do so.

Gosh koan - have you heard? Bush isn't president any longer! You can stop blaming him.

You say the constitution needs updating ... what about your own ideas and beliefs? How about updating them in light of today's economy?

"Yes, it is a 250 year old document, but at the time the greatest achievment of mankind EVER! But as the first attempt and with only 250 year old knowledge it has flaws we can see clearly today e.g. it allowed slavery, discrimination against women, etc."

Do you know what an amendment is? Do you know that there are amendments to the constitution? Do you know there is a process for amending the constitution? The constitution is up to date.
