"The first step in considering any legal document -- whether a will, a contract or the Constitution -- is to figure out what the person or persons writing it had in mind, says Robert Post, a Yale colleague of Gordon's and a professor of constitutional law."

I would say the first step is abiding by the legal definitions of words used in a contract, will, or in this case, the Constitution.

It is not up to the courts to re-define words. Once we allow that, as in the case of the Mass. Supreme Court, (abusing and changing the legal definition of marriage) you have made a mockery of the rule of law, for without the consistency of definitions from generation to generation, the law will always be up for grabs.

Thank you, Mass. Supremos, you bunch of whackos.

I agree 100% with what you say.......the biggest problem this country has is that our political leaders seem to spend most of their time implementing the tenets of the Communist Manifesto vs. the Constitution, most of the time without even realizing it.

Look at how we've evolved with the fed'l control of education, progressive income taxes, a strong central bank (Fed'l Reserve), regional planning, fedgov contol of communications & transportation, etc.!........NONE OF WHICH ARE PROVIDED FOR IN THE CONSTITUTION.....rather it's a Marxist blueprint to destroy this country that has him smiling in his grave.
