Next To Him, Most People Are
People who believe the Constitution would break if it didn't change with society are "idiots," U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says.
I find the tenor of the article akin to "you won't believe what this guy said!" even though I do believe it because I've read some of Scalia's writings, which I doubt Jonathan Ewing has done.
"That's the argument of flexibility and it goes something like this: The Constitution is over 200 years old and societies change. It has to change with society, like a living organism, or it will become brittle and break.""But you would have to be an idiot to believe that," Scalia said. "The Constitution is not a living organism, it is a legal document. It says something and doesn't say other things."
Radical!
Via Common Sense Junction. Hey, Frank, when did sense become common? Seems pretty scarce around these parts.
