The position I have posted was Congress's statement on the matter. They stated that rather than Ammend the hell out of the Constitution (thereby making it meaningless), they in every generation re-interpret it to meet the needs of the current generation. If they would add Ammendments to it for every need, the Constitution would become a document without meaning. Without a ton of Ammendments, most of the Spirit remains intact. That is the Congressional view.

Who said this?

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.
