"If you want to 'evolve' the constitution", bring a case to the Supreme Court.

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. The decision overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation, insofar as it applied to public education

Bill,
If you want to "evolve" the constitution, amend it.
Or just get five liberal justices to interpret the Constitution any way they feel like.

To this day, I still can't figure out how the 4th amendment can be construed in a way that legalizes abortion. Yet every liberal blindly accepts the notion that abortion is a right guaranteed by the Constitution.

Same liberals, of course, want to strictly interpret the "well-regulated militia" clause of the 2nd amendment.

Those are the consequences of turning the Constitution into a "living, breathing" document that's open to "evolution" outside of the amendment process.
