We all know Al Gore coined the phrase, but what does that have to do with the topic?
I’m simply saying, if we didn’t have “evolving standards,” the phrase, “In God We Trust” wouldn’t be on any coinage, or anything, yet you seem disgusted by that.
Along the same lines, women wouldn’t have the right to vote, does that disgust you too?
To my knowledge, Al Gore didn’t coin the phrase “living Constitution” - this has been used by judges long before algore was on the scene in order to bypass the onerous task of amending the Constitution.
I’m disgusted by judges (and libs) who have no regard for the written words of the Constitution or the methods by which it actually may legitimately be changed.
BTW, the 19th AMENDMENT conferred the right to vote on women. This is the proper way to change the Constitution.
At ratification, the “standards” were set, as well as a way to change those standards.
“In God We Trust” is not the result of an evolved standard, it is the result of a set standard. I’m not sure what you meant by that.
