So now the writings of Bastiat, Toqueville, and Blackstone are invalid because they are old? I guess, then, that you aren't too concerned about the Constitution, since it's older than all of them. Nor the ideas of liberty, natural rights, etc.....they're all old constructs.......but then again, tyranny, socialism, activist judiciaries, and world domination weren't invented in the 20th century either. Your opinions are far more petrified than mine.
