Well, if the Constitution isn't a living document and if it cannot be actively interpreted by a judiciary, then I would say that it is an inherently flawed and dysfunctional document, especially when you consider how unclear and sometimes misleading the language is. America needs to amend the hell out of it.
If this same document were to be presented today as a nation's proposed constitution, what do you think people would say about it?
