Marco Rubio: The Constitution is not a living document.........

[ABikerSailor]

In the debates last night, one of the comments by Marco Rubio is that the Constitution is not a living document, and must be interpreted literally by what the Founding Fathers wrote.

Marco Rubio: Obama Should Not Appoint Supreme Court Justice - Breitbart

The Best Lines of the GOP Debate

If Marco Rubio is such a smart man about the Constitution, does he understand that the Constitution actually IS a living document? The Founding Fathers made sure of that and understood that eventually, as the country changed, the Constitution should be able to be changed, which is why they allowed for it to be amended as required.

And yeah..............in the spirit of fairness, one link is from Breitbart for the conservatives, and from ABC news for everyone else.

which is why they allowed for it to be amended as required.

Which is not what Rubio was talking about, but you already knew that.

Rubio stated that the Constitution isn't a living document.

However, based on what the founders wrote, it clearly is.

What the hell is a "living document"? Do liberals think the Constitution is "living" in that it can change and evolve with the times or is the word "living" just a romantic notion?

Refusing to allow interpretations or extensions to an old document is silly.

It can be changed...by vote of the people...not the whim of the justices.

The first definition, and yes, it is a "living" document. The founders knew that the country was going to grow and change, and they made allowances for the Constitution to be changed. They're called "amendments".

"Living document" is leftist tripe that allows them to attempt change the meaning of the constitution based upon moral and cultural relativism.

The justices don't change it, that is the job of the Congress to write amendments.

The justices just interpret what is already written.

Our constitution outside of what not to do is very broad! This allows our supreme court which has judicial review the ability to state what is or isn't in many cases.

Marco Rubio doesn't understand the constitution and shouldn't be allowed the presidency.

Back to high school civics with you! You obviously slept through that class.

A living document means that the contents are open to interpretation. That is not true.

Again, you don't know what a "living document" is and THAT is your problem.

Wrong wingers seem to use the term “living document” as an excuse for disregarding the Constitution, or claiming that it means what it clearly does not, or that it does not mean what it clearly does.

Perhaps the Constitution doesn't change, but what does change is how we read the words and the words seem to change with the times. Or maybe Jefferson said it better,
"No society can make a perpetual Constitution or even a perpetual law."
