As a proud living constitution bullshit artist, I feel I should remind everyone that the amendment process is part of what makes the Constitution alive. That, combined with legal, Constitutional judicial decisions, are how the Constitution stays a relevant document for people in 2010 just as it was in the late 18th century. Of course it's risky to allow the Constitution to be amended and reinterpreted, but it's a necessary risk. America in 1780 is not the same country as America in 2010. The Constitution of 1780 wouldn't work in 2010.
