The Constitution, what does it mean to you. Living?

My sources for this are as follows.
Many independent sources quoted Bush for saying that including
www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7779.shtml

except factcheck.org refuted it, so that is why I use the word IF in his case

As for the quotations on the Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia,

Both of my sources are from two educational institutions

http://www.uvm.edu/theview/article.php?id=1389 (the University of Vermont)

http://www.ur.umich.edu/0405/Nov22_04/13.shtml (the University of Michigan)


If you don't know what Senate Bill 1959 is, you should research it because the Patriot Act doesn't hold a candle to it on how bad it is.

What does the constitution mean?

While mainstream media ignores if Bush said, "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face, Bush screamed back. Its just a goddamned piece of paper"
(but I think we all agree to the cliche, ACTIONS speak louder than words)-

The University of Vermont quoted Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, say
"My Constitution produces a very flexible system. (i thought it is was a contract with america)he continues, You create rights the way most rights are created in a democracy. You can change it if your first thought produces a result that you dont like. The living constitution thats not a flexible system.

---Oh i didn't know that the constitution was supposed to do the splitz and have backbends? or be like silly puddy"

The University of Michigan quotes him saying
""Oh, how I hate the phrase we have-a 'living document,'" Scalia says. "We now have a Constitution that means whatever we want it to mean. The Constitution is not a living organism, for Pete's sake."
"We can take away rights just as we can grant new ones. Don't think that it's a one-way street."

In response to a question about the 2000 election, he said, "This is four years and an election ago. Get over it."

Great video!!! The term "living document" refers to the fact that the Constitution can be added to or changed to reflect current society. But the changes are only to occur to the Amendments to the Constitution. The founding fathers made the Bill of Rights to be static. Meaning no changes! The founding fathers knew about freedom more than you and I, remember they actually lived through tyranny.

by this statement, "The founding fathers knew about freedom more than you and I, remember they actually lived through tyranny."

To me that says they knew more about oppression and gaining freedom....but not necessarily living through freedom and with it.

[Rosetteismyname]

It is called due process - the 4th amendment...

I watched this again....I think it's just fun to listen to you talking...:)

[Rosetteismyname]

thanks

[FateEternal]

I watched this again. :)

I've read that there isn't a "right to vote" as far as presidents go. I think the state is who decides if people can vote for a pres., but I don't think people have ever not been given the choice so far.

In 2000 FL hired a company in TX, choicepoint to compile a list of "convicted felons" who weren't eligible to vote.Choicepoint said our list is 80% inaccurate.67,000 were registered democrats, mostly black and latino on this list which were not convicted felons.Not allowed to vote.(summarized)In 2004, Ohio happened - another major voter disenfranchisement, that time huge media blackout but yes, voters who waited 4 hours in the cold rain were not allowed to vote.(summarized for character count)

Our constitution is more sacred than any religious text. In the last 50 years, it has been basterdized
