Well, the problem with being either for it or working to undermine it is that the words on the page mean different things to different people.

Only when taken out of context. I addressed this in another thread.

There is certainly quite a bit of interpretation necessary and actually performed as the document was written in general terms for the most part and so long ago.

Again, untrue. If you read the Constitution, it is a rather simplistic document. See the above link.

No piece of paper with words, no matter how intuitive and intelligent, can last forever.

It can when it is followed.

Newguy, you are entitled to your opinion. But legal minds the world over disagree with your philosophy.

Although I don't count myself among them, I concur with their views.

The vast majority of the Constitution is quite clear.

Most of the vague words and terms only arise in the Bill of Rights, and even then the area for interpretation is limited.
