[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 814916, member: 13254"] There have been many decisions made by the SC that vary from what the framers had intended, using the idea that the constitution was an ever changing document. I suppose there is argument for that, but there is little, if any substantial, evidence that the framers ever intended for that to happen. If the "supportable in the context of 21st century America" is the criteria it should be applied to ALL of the document and we both know that isn't the trend nor the original plan. There is a process that the framers supplied for changing the constitution to a newer environment and/or protect the people, however they stated pretty plain their intentions in many other ways. Using the "supportable in the context of 21st century America" argument could, would, should disallow the so called "anchor babies" of illegal immigrants because when that amendment was written they didn't know that the 21st century would bring about the numbers of people coming here just to have their babies so they could circumvent our laws.
