Frankly, that statement scares me........>>>Like all historical documents, the Bill of Rights must be read within the context of what its framers meant when they penned the establishment clause.

It, to me, sounds to close to what the num nums say about it being a "living document" when they want to take my guns away from me.

I agree. The documents say what they say and provisions are in place to reword/redefine them if we so choose. I see those who choose to channel the dead for their original intent as much a threat to our nation as the living document types.

I guess you would prefer to have the constitution deconstructed and see jurists rewrite the constitution.
