I remember back in the 1950s when I was in grade school, the teacher telling us that "...the Constitution is a living, breathing document" and always took that to mean that it was still relevant today, i.e., it was alive.
It was only later on, when I became a conservative in 1974 that I realized the libs were trying to adjust it to fit their agendas...and that's where that old phrase came from.
