Justice O'Connor said in her recent tv interview that she does not normally refer to the original documents, etc. -- since things like DNA, night vison, thermal imaging. etc. were not known then.
I was disapointed, since the original documents show the intent and basis for the wording.(only saw a short portion of her interview.)
I guess that the content of TV, radio, the Internet and anything printed on modern presses can be censored for political content by a government agency - after all, none of those things were known then.
I was disapointed,...
Disappointed doesn't begin to describe how I feel about such a statement coming from a sitting SC Justice - hasn't she ever heard of amending the Constitution? If something so desperately needs to be changed, the Congress will pass a resolution and send it out to the states, where it will be given a fairly quick thumbs up or thumbs down. No amendment = its not on our radar screen, Madame Justice, so leave the Constitution alone!
The old witch should be impeached. The only trouble is that the same Republican Snivelors, err, Senators that can't get a mere Appeals Court nomination to a floor vote will surely be unwilling to entertain this idea, let alone carry it out.
