[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]Yes, the Constitution is flexible with time. It changes to suit the times, that was the Fouding Fathers' intentions.[/i] Yes, that's why they created an ammendment process. That's the ONLY way the Constitution changes. If the FF's had intended for the Constitution to be changed by JUDGES, instead of by the people, then why would there be an ammendment process at all? Your logic is flawed. [i]I doubt this country will ever get fucked up enough to revoke the basic precept, "innocent until proven guilty",[/i] In your philosophy, all it'd take would be one judge, now wouldn't it? Sounds like an awfully unstable way to run a country, when it's basic precepts can be overturned by some guy wearing a black robe. Tell me: in your model, what's to prevent some appeals court judge from delcaring himself to be dictator, and that the Consitution is null and void? [i]although you seem like you'd like to do away with it.[/i] Upon what do you base this? [/QB][/QUOTE]
