Pure socialist/liberal bullshit. You won't ever hear a conservative republican (or a, gasp, libertarian) utter those words and mean them iwth respect to interpreting the Consitution.

Huh you mean that there isn't a threat today of anthrax and other biological agents being used by whackos on innocent people. Sorry that you are so blind to the threat. I don't think that Washington/Jefferson/Madison would take the threat so lightly if they had to deal with such threats in the 18th century, IMO.

I never said there was not a threat...in fact, if you look back at my posts you will find one where I acknowlege that the threat exists.

But that point is irrelevant to the fact that your statement brands you as a socialist liberal.

The Constitution is not a "living, breathing document" that changes as Society evolves. It specifically provides for a process for change in response to our evolving society. That process is called the amendment process.

Your desire to ignore that process based on a changing world illumates your liberal and socialist ideology.

Washington/Jefferson/Madison would demand the Constitution be followed and require an amendment(s) be passed. End of discussion.

BTW - Don't ignore #314. Address this point:

No one is saying it is a certainty except you when you intentionally mis-represent the statements of indivdiuals trying to educate you.

The point of every post to you is that the Constitution, and the limitations it places on government, was/were created for the eventuality of the type of corrupt, socialist, power-mad administration that would come with a Hillaryesque president. The Founders believed they could predict the future - in that power corrupts.

No one is saying they know who will be president in the future - what they are saying is that our theory of government is premised upon giving as little power as possible to the government because YOU CAN NEVER BE SURE WHO WILL GET TO EXERCISE THAT POWER.

How about it, O Wise and All-Knowing Constitutional Scholar?
