I honestly beleive there are some who want to return us to the stone age in many aspects. The world had changed since those great leaders wrote those words. We shouldn't abandon their intent, but we need to address todays realities.

Then do so via the DEMOCRATIC PROCESS provided for within the Constitution (drafter amendment, 2/3 vote of both houses, followed by ratification), not by de facto rulings of the Courts. The Constitution may be a "living document" but it is only such if its current text is respected, instead of willy nilly ignoring the parts that are terribly inconvenient in order to obtain a result that "feels" right.
