According to The Patriot Act... the First Amendment.

Cute (and, coincidently, maybe the third time ever I don't totally disagree w/ you) - but still doesn't answer the question . . .

Our Constitution is a living document, meaning, it can be changed and has been changed. Prohibition is one example of something that was put in there and then taken out. A lot of things have been added as we've grown as a society such as civil rights. It does not stand exactly as it was when it was written.

And like with Prohibition, those changes should only occur with constitutional ammendments, and not through judicial reinterpretations.

wait- so Plessey vs. Ferguson was good, and the reinterpretation of the Constitution in Brown v. Board was a bad thing?
