[Belial]

a.)Al Gore is a proponent of the "living constitution" doctrine.

So the constitution shouldn't change? Should slaves still get 3/5 of a vote?

b.)Our rights do not come from the Constitution. Care to try again?

Yes they do. Just ask the people of Iraq. A big cloud man in the sky doesn't rain rights down on our head. The reason you can't be tortured for 8 months is not the grace of God...it's the law.

We amended the Constitution to change that. We didn't suddenly interperet it differently.

Yes they do. Just ask the people of Iraq. A big cloud man in the sky doesn't rain rights down on our head. The reason you can't be tortured for 8 months is not the grace of God...it's the law.

That's just proof that God-given rights can be infringed by governments. See CFR and gun restrictions here for examples closer to home.
