Then why bother even interpreting and amending it if it's nothing but a dead piece of goddamn paper?
You have to make me wonder if you're becoming some kind of parody. Because all he means is that the interpretation should remain the same as when it was written essentially. Interpretation should remain static and not account for new circumstances. This would, in fact, suggest there should be more amending to update it to allow for new meaning to be put in.
Very astute.
But how much amending should or could be done without having to start over from scratch?
Maybe write Constitution II: The Next Document?
I'm not suggesting he's right, I'm saying you're really warping what he was saying. I think it'd be terribly inconvenient, needing to change what is supposed to be the fundamental framework of our government repeatedly. It's like trying to rebuild mess with your computer's hardware every time you install a new program. Much better to let it be interpreted anew given relevant new circumstances.
Am I warping what he's saying? You mean this guy?
I mean, he sounds barely more balanced than any other Fox News pundit, which seems to be his favorite venue for getting his views out. Might as well appoint Steve Doocy.
