Apparently, to Time, and to liberals, the constitution should be completely flexible to allow whatever seems to be the popular and important issue or feeling of the day. That would be a recipe for chaos.

A constitution without meaning, and which can be redrawn according to the latest agenda, is no constitution at all.

If we want to end up a country without laws, or laws that can be bent depending upon the latest wishes of whoever is in power at the moment, then the constitution should be declared without value, and we can declare ourselves Somalia West.

“A constitution without meaning, and which can be redrawn according to the latest agenda, is no constitution at all.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Exactly and that is what the left insists on, that the constitution be reduced to a list of suggestions, to be followed or disregarded as the occasion warrants, a “living, breathing document” to be quoted and respected when it suits the whim of the left and to be laughed at and scorned when it does not.

What clown is so foolish as to actually believe that the founders of this nation spent day after laborious day haggling over every word and then threw in a clause or two that effectively reduce the whole thing to, “If the above does not suit you then do as you please”. It would truly require an imbecile to believe such.

Of course, to those graduates of latter day schools whose knowledge of history and government is comparable to that of a striped house cat it may seem plausible. He who cannot see a distinction between a state law requiring those who desire to own and operate an automobile to purchase insurance protecting others from the financial costs of their errors and a federal law requiring those who want to live and breath to purchase insurance to protect them from medical bills if they should require a physician, even if they have sworn an oath never to use the services of a physician, cannot distinguish between daylight and darkness.
