Any constitution that does not mean what it says is worse than worthless. If it means whatever any group in power, or group of 9 men, decide they want it to mean, then it means absolutely nothing and you had better get ready to lose the rest of the 1st amendment (your right to say what you just did) along with the rest of it. Those who push the idea of a "living" document are victims of semantical fraud, because if the US Constitution is a "living document" in the sense that those who push this fraudulent phraseology for the purpose of enforcing what they want, they rather make it a "VERY DEAD CONSTITUTION".

If someone wants to play chess with me, for money, where the rules of chess are "living", it must be because they think their skills are inferior to mine.
