dk: i am confused. you seemed to argue my point....
but somehow arrive at the assumption first that some kind of stasis was possible for meanings and that second even if it is not possible (you cant abstract legal language from normal usage, like it or not--not entirely) that a fiction created specifically around/for the constitution that would make it static linguistically is somehow desirable.
i dont understand.
