“The Constitution is an outdated document authored by old white guys.”

The Constitution is one of the greatest pro liberty documents ever made.
Too bad our bedwetters and corporatists dont fucking follow it.
 
Man you are really lazy. Did you bother to read those search results?

Is the U.S. Constitution outdated?

The concepts in it are not outdated. It was designed to limit government’s power and to put mechanisms in place to prevent abuse of power. The bigger problem we have is not that the Constitution is outdated, but rather the government is selectively reinterpreting the Constitution to give itself more power, thereby eroding the safe guards the Founding Fathers attempted to put in place.

Looks like your straw man just blew up in your face.

Now, do you have any Democratic Congressmen or Presidents saying such a thing? Do you have a Democratic platform plank stating such a thing?
 
Donald Trump acts as if the Constitution is a real nuisance.

Your cherry-picking makes me laugh. The comments in the NYT and HuffPost articles alone outweigh your blurb in terms of the point made..

Cherry picking. Oh man, the irony!

That is why it was made. Whoever is in power should see it as a real pain in the arse.

If they don't then they are merely ignoring it, like Obama.
 
Like any document that was drafted by human beings it is subject to interpretation. The brilliance of the Constitution is that it is written in broad strokes.

All Americans are "pro-constitution". Those talking heads who go on forums like this and declare themselves constitutional authorities or who call themselves "pro-constitution" are anything but. The Constitution is subject to different interpretations. The drafters of the constitution could not agree how it was to be interpreted.

No one has an exclusive claim on constitutional interpretation.

What a load of bullshit :lol:
If it can be interpreted differently, why have anything at all? Its fucking redundant.
What a dumb, thoughtless comment.

This country and our constitution are built on the principle of precedents. There are most certainly liberals like Judge Satomayor who will attempt to undermine that principle and operate from a principle of temporal expediency. That is probably the greatest legal threat to our country right now.

I interpret this to mean that you do like the idea of a living breathing document that changes with every election cycle.

Am I right?
