I mean, how can you argue the fact that we live in such a different, industrial and intelligent age and that those old-fashioned Neanderthals couldn’t possibly understand the problems that are currently facing us?

Well, one way would be to point out that, while science and technology may progress, and the beliefs and surface values of people may change (for the better OR for the worse) over time, basic human nature NEVER changes. And the United States Constitution was written and adopted by some VERY wise and thoughful men, who took great pains to build in to it protections against certain of the WORST aspects of human nature.

To add to your thought above, even John Kennedy, a true liberal, said the following:

“There has never been a greater concentration of intellectual power here at the White House since Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”
