' “It should be interpreted as it was written – nothing more, nothing less."
That is the way it should be! Whoever came up with the idea of "flexible constitution" should be deported, or if not, be defrocked as a Justice or Judge and thrown out!!!'

How does that square with the idea that orginally man/men were white, male and over 21?

That's why the Constitution has a provision to change it by amendment - not by interpretation.

I believe the other references of the laws that referenced the Black Men/Women were superceded by the passing of the Emancipation Proclomantion and the Civil War. Men /Women are referenced as Men/Women regardless of their race.

It squares with the proper method of changing the Constitution: Amendments.
