I completely agree it *was* thier job to do only this. Until we collectively bastardized the whole system.

In addition, I'd like to add that the USC is *****not***** a "living document" in the sense that phrase is used today.

It *is* changeable but only through a constitutional ammendment. In this way, it's living (capable of being changed) but IMO as someone that can read English, the courts do not have the legal authority to interpret it to fit what they think is best. Whats even more irritating now is that the USSC is now using European law for guidance!

The point is lost on the fact that there doesnt seem to be any workable solution to bring us back where we should be. The road back would lead us into an America no one would even recognize, but many of us would greatly appreciate.
