Yes, as my explanation of the way the Constitution is handled IMO today.

You could handle all the issues of a high population society by adding either 35,000 amendments to the Constitution (which at one point the Congress website said would then make the Constitution just a nice old historic paper) or they do what they do now, which is to reinterpret.

I find it a problem personally, you can take your choice though, whether it be judicial interpretation or 35,000 amendments... YOU STILL WON'T GET YOUR RECREATIONAL DRUGS.

When they do that, you end up with terrible things such as the Campaign Finance Reform bill. I honestly think this will lead to Free Republic being regulated to some extent in years to come.

Here's what your LBJ Great Society constitutionalism has brought us.

"In the fifties, although blacks were still struggling for equal opportunities and were on the low end of the economic ladder, the black family was for the most part strong and stable. Two parent families were the rule, not the exception. They attended church together, had strong moral values, and did not comprise a majority of the prison population. Compare that to the present state of the black community after 40 years of Liberal Socialism. Our prisons are disproportionably black, unwed mothers and single parent families are the rule, black youths without a strong male role model other than rap stars and basketball players, roam the streets and are drawn into a culture of drugs and crime."
