Constitution need updating?

Maybe. But that would be risky. We couldn't assemble a bunch of people who are as gifted as the "founding fathers", and they would probably screw it up. The US is still going strong after 230 years. Good job, guys.

WHAT WE NEED IS OUR CONCEPTS OF WHAT IT SAYS AND MEANS! Take for instance the belief in separation of church and state; the Founders are rolling in their graves for spreading this concept it the perverted sense it is.

Take for instance the 5th and 14th amendments. These amendments pertain to our Fundamental rights. On November 20, 1772, Samuel Adams presented to the Boston town meeting a declaraation of righs. The following excerpts from this document state:

Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; second, to liberty; third, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.

Just and true liberty, equal and impartial liberty, in matters spiritual and temporal, is a thing that all men are clearly entitled to by the eternal and immutable laws of God and nature as well as by the law of nations and all well grounded municipal laws, which must have their foundation in the former.

In short, it is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one or any number of men, at the entering into society, to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights, when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defense of those very rights; the principal of which, as is before observed, are life, liberty, and property.

If government stuck to what Samual Adams wrote our world would be a lot better.

Bound's hubby here:

The Constitution is constantly open to updating ... it is called the amendment process!

Try reading the Consitution to see how it is done ... you do not need an elite group of parasites updating the Constitution for their own personal benefit ... it serves ALL of the people, not just the power elite!

Please say your kidding. Read the constitution and then come back here and tell us if forming an ad hoc commitee to "update" the amendments is even an option.

More than updating them they simply need to be followed. There is too much Judaical legislation from the bench. currently this branch of government is the most out of balanced from the founding fathers intended power structure.

Are you really that ignorant? I hope not. Have you even read the document? Perhaps you ought to before you show everyone how ignorant you are. Oops, you already have!

No.
