Rarebird, I agree with Al Gore. Constitutions like everything else evolve with the times. I hear there's a process for said "evolution." They're called amendments. What Al Gore was talking about wasn't the amendment process. Instead, what he was talking about was changing the interpretation so that certain words or phrases in the Constitution no longer retain their original meanings. That's a recipe for usurping power. All that's needed is for five Supreme Court justices to declare that, for example, the Second Amendment only applies to muskets, and that the First Amendment only applies to literal ink on paper. That's what a "living, breathing" document means to our individual rights. It renders the document powerless. It gives power to those who can willingly change the definition of words and phrases by edict. Tenchusatsu
