>Well, her point wasn't any less valid than arguing Christianity as most people live it vs fundamental Christianity. It's one thing to want to abide by the constitution, but when you say "the way our founding fathers intended", then she's right. You have to wipe out all the amendments and go back to the original document. And yes, that would be a bit scary. Besides, the idea that he would like to have a supreme court that will interpret the constitution "the way our founding fathers intended" means categorically that he feels he has the inside track on their thoughts. If the court disagrees with his own thinking, then the are clearly not interpreting it "the way our founding fathers intended". And yes, that's a bit scary too.
Good point. And don't forget that the Constitution as originally passed didn't even include the bill of rights.
Aside from all that, of course, the founders included the ability to amend _because_ they understood that things change. They wanted a living document that would serve the country for the long term.
