Reply #17: constitution was designed to be [View All]

adaptable and fit the future....thats what was so ingenious about the document....thats its core provisions still hold true today

if we use your argument than you dont have a right to free speech over the internet, on the TV, radio...or any other mass media except print and the spoken word (btw that doesnt include a microphone either). You would also be accepting the fact that abortion and contraceptives could be banned since only until recently (in the last 50 yrs) did they start finding constitutional permissible reasons to strike these laws down (for the longest times these laws would withstand constitutional scrutiny and be held constitutional)

so if you want to take an extreme originalist look (more originalist than scalia or thomas) than go ahead be my guest...but be weary when you find out how many other rights that you take for granted....will also be gone.
