Is the Constituation a "living document?"

I believe the Constitution should never be changed. If you look at what they did in Canada with our Human Rights document, you can see that changing or interpreting it to suit certain others is wrong. The United States did a good draft when it made up the Constitution. As it stands, it allows for no errors or no wrong interpretation and it should never be altered. If it is, it will turn up like a mess like up here in Canada.

If they change the Constitution, they change what the United States stands for... or stood for. The document has stood the test of time. The only reason anyone wants to change it is to undercut our freedoms and our way of life.

I agree with you and Mr Jerry McDanies, the Constitution fine the way it is. The Constitution has away to change the words in the Constitution legally. The founding father allowed the Constitution to be changed or more properly amended. There is not one clause in the Constitution that give judges the right to just on their opinion change the wording in the Constitution. Judges have no right to use their position to create new laws. Article 2 of the Constitution clearly say that role is for Congress.

The US Constitution does not give us our rights, in fact it doesn't address itself to us at all. What it is is a document from We the People addressed to the Federal Government. It doesn't give us freedom, but it tells the governent what authority We the People will allow of it. In other words, it doesn't limit you or I at all... unless we are performing duties in the government. The US Constitution was set up to be ammendable when We the People, the Federal Government and the States decide it is needed. There are no parts of the constitution that can't be ammended. However, ammending the US Constitution is a very difficult thing to do, and should be. Changes to the Constitution are to be made according to the limitations set by the Constitution. Congress, The President, The Supreme Court (or any other court) have no authority to re-interpret or change it to fit their agenda. We the People don't have the authority to change it just because it doesn't fit our agenda. So, yes, it is a living document and subject to change, but it isn't as changeable as many would like it to be.

I believe that the constitution should stay the same. It was made for a reason and we have kept it the same for all this time for a reason. Because it works..If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Obama is wanting to get rid of the 2nd amendment. I think that is total BS. It is there to protect us, not to harm us and if it isn't there, then it will harm us. But that is only my opinion.

The Bill of Rights must remain the same. Those rights are what protect us from the government. It's what stops them from breaking into your house and putting you in jail for the rest of your life. It's what stops them from imprisoning me because my views are different. Without the Bill of Rights, this country is no longer safe. If you change it now, it'll be easier to change the next time, and the next, until it's too late. The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing. The Bill of Rights must not change.

There has never been a another governing document created in the history of the world like the Constitution of the United States of America. And it should never be changed. There are those in politics, in both parties, but mostly the Democrats, who seek to change the Constitution, and destroy the rights we have fought so hard to keep and to make this country more of a Socialist society. This country and its government were formed on the basis that, we, the people of America, rule the land through the government representatives and officials we elect. Many people are being misled by the liberal-minded celebrities, college professors, and left-leaning news media, because they don't know the truth about the founding of America, and it's up to people like you and me to defend the truth. Vladimir Lenin said, "A lie told often enough becomes the truth." Well, I believe that the truth told often enough can erase a lie. It's up to the people who know the truth to erase the lies that have been told and believed for so long. God bless the USA!
