Unless the Constitution is interpreted AS THE FRAMERS INTENDED

And who decides how the Constitution is interpreted? Who decides what the Framers intended? Where can we find that? If you say, "Look at the Constitution," it's a circular argument.

On many issues, it's quite clear what they intended. On others, like gay rights and abortion, the founders never dreamed that our people would become so evil as to require a constitutional sanction. On freedom of religion, it is quite clear.
