The Constitution Doesn't Need to Adapt

Obama 9th Circuit Nominee: Constitution Must Adapt to Changes in the World

"He believes the Constitution is something judges can manipulate to have it say what they think culture or evolving standards of decency requires of it in a given day," said the Senate Judiciary Committee's top Republican Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.

These are just a few of the words I found in a article from http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/04/obama-th-circuit-nominee-constitution-adapt-changes-world/ talking about the viewpoint of Goodwin Liu, Obama's Nominee for the 9th circuit court.

What is wrong with the United States if our President is nominating people who can't follow the Constitution that this country was founded upon? Sure it's an old document, but it is not outdated and it does not need to be changed. Basic, true principals are good throughout eternity. The Constitution has many of those great eternal truths inside.

Maybe things such as the first amendment containing the freedoms of religion, speech, press, and assembly just might be too outdated. Maybe the parts of the Constitution that explain what powers the three branches of government have, are just not adapted to changes in the world. What are these changes in the world anyway? Communism? Progressivism?

The Constitution of the United States of America doesn't need to adapt to changes in the world. The world needs to heed the truths found in the Constitution.

Amen. It is the "progressives" that need to change to the constitution. It is a God inspired document. Nobody is smarter than the creator of us all. It is people like the intellectuals
(Read snobs)that are on the wrong side. God is smarter than them and He is the One that we should follow. Lets just pray that the Nation survives this mess!

Exactly! This new nominee thinks John Roberts is unfit for hus job because he believes in capitalism and property rights! Even 2 years ago this kind of thinking would have been grounds for throwing the bum out. Like your dad said "where are we going and why are we in a hand basket?"

This has always been the problem, it is history repeating itself. I pray all the time for the Nation to survive and I always keep in mind the promise we have living in this promised land. Hang on to that thought.
