“The Constitution is not a living document. It’s a legal document, and legal documents do not change.”

Hoorah for Justice Scalia! Now tell that to Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and the rest of the Socialist Democrats and all Progressives who want to tamper with this incredible document. The United States Constitution is Etched in Granite!

"Legal documents do not change".

Exactly. It's like a divorce. Ten years later a spouse comes back and says, "Yes, I signed it, but I changed my mind. I believe our decree is a living document. So I want all your share of the investments and give me back the Spode china."

I love Scalia. The beauty of simplicity. Think of Marcus Aurelieus.....What is its nature...."The constitution is not a living document, it is a legal document, and legal documents do not change." Sorry, I got caught up in the moment...Another famous person told us to think of things in its simplicity.
