The constitution is an evolving document based upon the values of the people."

Then it is not worth a S#$t.

Spectre's idea is the Constitution means one thing today and another tomorrow.

The founding Fathers meant for it to mean the same today, tomorrow, and a 1000 years from now.

"The founding Fathers meant for it to mean the same today, tomorrow, and a 1000 years from now."

Exactly.

This is why so many conservatives who were against gay marriage were still against amending the constitution to prohibit it.

If we change frequently to suit the current thinking, it ceases to have any meaning.

If that's what we want to do then we might as well burn it.
