Scalia is right. The "living Constitution" crowd reminds me of the "Spirit of Vatican II" crowd. What is in writing does not support their aims, so they talk endlessly about the "spirit" of the words.

Except regarding the 2nd Amendment, where they reject not only the spirit, but also the letter of the law.

Or when they come up with the whack-job theory that because something's not in the Constitution, the Constitution can prohibit it.
