    There is no comment that could do your post justice, so I am forced by good manners to refrain.

    I thought achilles did a good job of trying giving names to the 2 sides.

    I have always stated the lefty "living breathing document" approach is very dangerous for the left.
    I argued you all should realize that shoe could go on the other foot too.

    since you all believe its a living breathing document and the country just breathed on Trump can you imagine what if a President appointed a majority of judges who believed the constitution is a living breathing document and wanted and therefore they could shrink the Federal Govt and its powers at every turn and eliminate all protections for minorities .. and rule against anchor babies and remove all case law regarding inter state commerce... regardless of stare decisis and what the constitution says....

    You lefties we all be screaming for the judges to be more like scalia or originalists and so would I.

    Maybe you lefties will start acting rational and admit you are wrong. Maybe then we would ask the Republicans to put an originalists type like Cruz on the court to protect everyone rights.
