Actually her main argument was that the Constitution was a flexible document and that the founding fathers knew that things would change and wanted the Constitution to be able to change along with the times.

That's why they included an amendment process. Note, this process is purposely difficult, so that the fickle whims of the majority do not tyrannize he minority.

What she suggests is flat out ignoring the Constitution, which is exactly like having no Constitution at all.

One other example I gave her was that income tax was not in the constitution and the right we have to keep the money we earn is quickly disappearing.

Also, Janet Reno sent armed people into the home of the family of that little Cuban boy, Elian Gonzales, and took him out of that home by force. She said he was here illegally so she didn't have any problem with it. I asked if the family whose home was broken into were illegals. She said no, but that they were warned. They were told to hand over the kid and they said no.
