The opinion of a few lawyers. It currently is given the force of law.

In a Constitutional Government, Congress would correct this, but it seems the only thing they seem adept at is making personal fortunes.

It would be great if even some of or Congress would have actually read the Constitution.

I'd settle for a few more liberal judges that actually read the Constitution!

The great irony is how the Left uses the Constitution as a weapon to advance their agenda thorough judicial dictate. Hence abortion and gay marriage, both of which were either taboo or illegal when the Constitution and the 14th Amendment were adopted and indisputably outside of original intent.

But express constitutional guarantees, like the Second Amendment and State's Rights are either ignored or marginalized by liberal courts. In these cases, the Constitution has no use to the Left, and therefore, no meaning.

If the founders wanted the Constitution to automatically mean different things as society evolved, why include a very clear procedure for amendment? Yet another express portion of the Constitution which the Left pretends has no meaning.
