"Having observed many of these nuts over the last few years, both on FR and in local letters to the editor, I have to say that a special category of personality disorder ought to be reserved for these people. But that I mean not constitutionalists, or sensible constructionists, by any means, but for those who abandon any attempt at reasonableness or ordinary fairness for their obsessive and narrow-angled interpretations of the Constitution. Confronted with the complexities of today's world, I have no doubt that the founding fathers would have placed great emphasis on the desirability of non-discrimination by businesses and government, among other protections including rights of the unborn."
Whose sensibilities should set the standard? Yours? Hillary's? Jesse Jackson's? Osama's? Sadam's?
The Constitution is not a living document that is meant to be "interpreted" depending on the sensibilities of the times. When you take that stance, you end up using a "right to privacy" as the justification to a "right to abortion." At the same time you end up using "interstate commerce" potential to monitor what people ingest.
