I would think you would be in favor of as much personal liberty as possible. Oh well. I'm sorry Scalia thinks the constitution is dead, but with Alito and Roberts on the court, he may be right. "I am certainly not an advocate for frequent and untried changes in laws and constitutions. I think moderate imperfections had better be borne with; because, when once known, we accommodate ourselves to them, and find practical means of correcting their ill effects. But I know also, that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the same coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors." -- Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, July 12, 1810 Again, it astonishes me that right wingers wish to strip themselves of the right to privacy. I would think you would be in favor of as much personal liberty as possible. Oh well.

“I am certainly not an advocate for frequent and untried changes in laws and constitutions. I think moderate imperfections had better be borne with; because, when once known, we accommodate ourselves to them, and find practical means of correcting their ill effects. But I know also, that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the
progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the same coat which fitted

I’ll give you a hint, his opinions would have to stop being in the dissent to actually have an overturn Congress" You're associating Congress with the will of the people? Please. "Oh, and he has a lot of never acting like his interpretation of the constitution doesn’t go to personal believes about society" If you mean Scalia his interpretation of the Constitution is exactly that of those who wrote it, as opposed to adding words like "endorse", "privacy", and subtracting words like "freedom", and "religion." “Guess which Supreme Court Justice most often would overturn Congress (the will of the people)?

Such as Hugo Black’s views on the 14th Amendment forcing the application of the Bill of Rights onto the states." Black was a textualist. And one time Klan member. Who was afraid of going to Alabama because of his decisions supporting civil rights and national power. You people are hilarious. “It requires expansion of intended meanings of the Constitution from a liberal perspective.
