Judges have embraced the dreadful "living document" theory because it aggrandizes their own power. If a constitution evolves, then it becomes nothing but the hive-mind of its keepers: the Supreme Court. The original opinion that declared the power of judicial review, Marbury v. Madison, was the beginning of usurpation by this assemblage of dotards. They will not willingly give up their power--no one does. What we need is leadership with the willingness to mock their pretensions to super-constitutionality, and ignore their dictates. Smash the Court's prestige (how it still has any I'll never know), and it will shrink like a frightened turtle (to borrow Seinfeld's colorful phrase).
