The late Justice Scalia said it best, "A constitution is not meant to facilitate change. It is meant to impede change, to make it difficult to change."
Something I completely agree with. It seems odd to me that the last two appointments to the Supreme Court say that the Constitution is outdated.

The document will never be out of date, but interpretation could be, even those of Justice Scalia....

This is one of the most critical appontments in the history of our nation. We are truly at the tipping point. Hopefully towards the true textual interpretation of the constitution.

Thank you. I have many duh moments. I've misplaced my keys and wallet on occasion. I've flipped my glasses on top of my head and wondered where I put them.

Sometimes my Garmin tells me: "dog has treed quarry". and I can't see anything! DUH!

But, I don't confuse 1787 (Constitution) and 2016 (Today). I think we should acknowledge that there have been changes in 229 years. To deny that would be "duh" stupid!!!

If you get this message, you are certainly not a strict constitutionalist. You've embraced change, and even use it for communication purposes. You consider the Constitution as a living/changing document. If I'm wrong, you will not receive this message.

One if by land, two if by sea, three if by air. Wait, we didn't have air travel then. If you traveled by air, you were a God or an alien. I've traveled by air. So, am I a God or alien (superior being)? You?

If you drive a car, travel by air, have electric in your house, have a computer, or communicate via the internet, YOU MOST CERTAINLY ARE NOT A STRICT CONSTITUTIONALIST!!! The founding fathers never anticipated this.

I think it's fair to say that you have much more in common with our last two Supreme Court appointments than you do with our founding fathers. Again, if I'm wrong, you won't get this message (it's not Pony Express).

Our guiding principal should be fairness and equality for all!!!

I'm not criticizing as much as I'm trying to make you THINK!!! Sometimes, all of us have these "DUH" moments. Me too. My daughters will testify!!!

I figure one day again in our land we will be fighting each other. One to uphold it and one to rip it down. Be guns and all. So we shall see how much certain folks are in 2000 whatever verses 1787.

A persons "sex" was never mentioned in the original Constitution for the United States . The Constitution did not prohibit women from voting , the Constitution actually used terms that are "politically correct" today . Voters qualifications were left up to states , much as they are today . We now have amendments that force states to recognize a woman's right to vote but nothing in the original Constitution prohibited women's rights .
Also the subject of race is never mentioned in the original Constitution . There is "persons held in service or labor" for the 3/5ths value , as I am assuming you know the people held in service and labor spanned many colors and nationalities . The original Constitution didn't discriminate based upon a persons race or sex . Individual states and people did that .
Socialist , if you believe in redistribution of wealth and an expanded federal government that infringes upon state and individual rights , yhink hard before you check the box for BO's successor .
Speaking of our chief , shouldn't he be attending Justice Scalia funeral ?!

The founding fathers for the most part only believed that landowners should vote and participate in government, women were granted the right to vote in `1920 by constitutional amendment...
